3. QSO Points
a. European Union stations:
QSO with your own country – 1 points,
QSO with European Union country – 10 points,
QSO with a different country on your continent – 3 points,
QSO with another continent – 5 points.
b. Non- European Union stations:
QSO with European Union – 10 points,
QSO with your own country – 1 points,
QSO with a different country on your continent – 3 points,
QSO with another continent – 5 points.
4. Exchange:
• European Union stations will send RST and a two-letter & two-number code to identify their regions.
• Other stations will send RST and ITU zone.
5. Multipliers
• Each European Union Region count 1 (one) multiplier,
• Each DXCC country count 1 (one) multiplier.
The same multiplier (country/region) can be counted once and only once for each band.
For example: The first QSO with an EU station in a contest band will be worth both as country and as region multiplier
6. Final Score
All stations: the final score is the result of the total QSO points multiplied by the sum of EUR (European Union Region) and country multipliers.
Ranking of the EUS (European Union Stations) will be shown separately.

8. Dupes
Dupes are contacts made with the same station on the same band and mode. Dupes have 0 points value.
9. Qso
The same station can be contacted on the same band once on SSB/CW but only the first QSO is valid for multiplier point.
10. General Note
• All the transmitters and receivers must be found within a circle with 500m maximum radius. All the antennas used by each participant must be physically connected via cables with the transmitters and receivers.
• Remote operation is permitted if the physical location of all transmitters, receivers, and antennas are at one station location. (for example: If a station from Eu have a remote station in Bahamas and he works with his Eu callsign – this is not permitted. If a station from Eu have a remote station in Bahamas and he use an C6 callsign – this is legal remote)
• The using of WEB Clusters and Packet radio systems are allowed to all participants in the contest.
• Using of other transmitters and receivers from other locations connected via internet is considered to be unsportsmanlike and it is one of the reason which attract disqualification..
• Self-spotting on Clusters is not permitted.
• Requesting QSOs via phone, telegrams, internet, radio packet during the contest is considered to be self-spottingand is not allowed, leading disqualification of the competitor.
• The participants from the Single Operator category are allowed to change bands and operating modes without restrictions. However, only one single signal is permitted to be “on the air” at the same time.
• The MOST stations must obey the “10 minutes rule”. Time spent in one band start to count down from the moment when the first QSO was done in that band. Only one single signal is permitted to be “on the air” at the same time.
