{02SAT05:1700:240:Spring}
{02SAT10:1700:240:Fall} 


 MODE: 

CW 


 EXCHANGE: 

Name, State/Province/DXCC Country, and FISTS Number or power 
output if not a FISTS member. 


 SCORING: 


5 points per QSO with FISTS member 
2 points per QSO with non-FISTS member 
 

 MULTIPLIERS: 

States/Provinces count ONCE, no matter which or how many bands worked.
DX Countries count once each TIME worked.
Work stations only ONCE per band.  


 FINAL SCORE: 

FINAL SCORE is QSO points times multipliers. 

For example, lets say you work 10 stations, 5 on 40 meters and 5 
on 20 meters. 
You work 8 FISTS members and 2 non-FISTS. On 40 meters you work 3 
stations in Ohio, one from Pennsylvania, and G3ZQS from England. 
On 20 meters you work 2 from Texas, one from Ohio, G3ZQS, and one 
from Florida. 

You have earned 44 QSO points by working 8 FISTS (8 X 5 = 40) and 
2 non-FISTS (2 X 2 = 4), 40 + 4 = 44 QSO points. 

You have six multipliers, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, and 
G3ZQS twice. 

Your final score would be 6 multipliers X 44 QSO points or 264 
TOTAL POINTS.
