    Message:
    RS(T) + serial number starting from 001 + 2 letters showing Fylke / Län / Province / Region, e.g. 59(9) 001 VN.
    (See the abbreviation list at end of rules).
    Note - Use different serial numbers for CW and SSB, as they are two separate contests. Multi operator stations may use separate numbers per band

    Points:
    Each station can be contacted once per band, both on CW and SSB. Every correct two-way QSO with ES, JW, JX, LA, LY, OH, OHØ, OJØ, OX, OY, OZ, SM, TF and YL gives 2 points.
    A QSO with wrong received message. gives you only 1 point
    A QSO with a station not submitting a log will not give any points unless the station is found in at least ten (10) other logs. In that case it gives 1 point

    Multiplier:
    Each worked Fylke / Län / Province / Region per band, per mode gives one (1) multiplier.
    A QSO with a station not submitting a log will not give any multiplier, unless the station is found in at least ten (10) other logs. The multipliers are counted separately for CW and SSB.

    Final score:
    Score = (sum of QSO-points) x (sum of multipliers worked on the two bands).
    Separate final scores for CW and SSB.

    Logs:
    Logs must be submitted separately for CW and SSB within 7 days after the contest. Only electronic logs are accepted.

    Please check your log for typing errors and leave ALL your QSOs in the log - including dupes. The log checking software will find the dupes and mark them with zero (0) points.
    By submitting a log you agree that your log and the corresponding log checking report may be made open to the public.

    Awards:
    Awards and prizes are issued to the first three (3) places on CW, SSB and MIXED in each category.
