Exchange:
• Report (as appropriate for the mode in use) and 4-character Locator (e.g. IO91). Serial
number is not required
Scoring:
• One point per kilometre.
• Score is total kilometres worked multiplied by the number of large Locator Squares (e.g.
IO91) worked. Distance is calculated to the centre of the large Locator Square (e.g. IO84MM
to IO91MM). A QSO between stations in the same large Locator Square will count for 50
points.
• Stations taking part in the contest must not simultaneously TX on more than one frequency
and/or on more than one FT8 channel (per band). Fox/Hound mode is not permitted.
