Scoring:

3 points for first contact with a station.
2 points for second contact with the same station.
1 point for third contact with the same station.

100 points, one time only, for working club station WØCQC. The second contact with WØCQC, after half an hour,

Final Score:

QSO Points x SPC x CQC Members = Total Score.

Logs:
Submit logs showing time, callsign worked, exchange, and QSO points for each station worked, show totals of multiplier points.
