Classes:  Based on antenna type!


W -     Single element wire (includes dipole, random wires, 
        Zepp, doublet, inverted "V", slopers, single element 
        loops, inverted "L", etc.)


V -     Verticals (includes single element, ground plane, 
        trapped vertical, anything with vertical polarization 
        and omnidirectional pattern).


B -     Multi-element arrays/beams (includes beams, multi-
        element loops, phased verticals, V-beams, rhombics, 
        etc.)


Operations may be conducted with different antennas provided 
all antennas used are in the same class.


Exchange:   RST + SPC + Antenna Class + CQC # or Power


                Example:  549 CO W NR154 or 559 VA V 5W


Multiple Contacts:  The same station may be worked up to three 
                    times during the contest, provided there is 
                    a minimum of 30 minutes between QSOs with the 
                    same station.


Scoring:  3 points per QSO, the first time each station is worked.
          2 points for the second time the same station is worked.
          1 point for the third time the same station is worked.


Multipliers:  SPCs and the number of CQC members worked.


        Second and third contacts with the same station, if made, 
        do not count as multipliers.


Total Score:  QSO Points  X  SPCs  X  Members = Total Score


AWARDS:  Certificates will be awarded to the highest scoring 
         station in each antenna class, and the highest scoring 
         station in each SPC.


LOGS:   Submit logs showing time UTC, callsign, exchange received
        and QSO points for each station worked.


Example:        0305  W0CQC  CO S   5W 3 1
                0312  K5AB   TX V 154W 3
                0336  W0CQC  CO S   5W 2 0
