General Rules for YLRL Contests
===============================
1. Check to make certain you are sending logs to the CURRENT Vice-President:
   Phyllis Shanks, W2GLB/7
   1345 W Escarpa 
   Mesa, AZ 85201-3853 
   E-mail: pshanks1@juno.com

2. Logs must be postmarked no later than 30 days after each contest ends.

3. Scoring:

Phone and CW contests will be scored separately. 
Separate logs must be submitted for each contest. 
One point is earned for each different station worked on each band. 
The same station may be worked on different bands. 
In the YL-OM contest only, YLs count OMs and OMs count YLs. 
Multiplier will be the ARRL sections and/or DX countries, whichever is 
appropriate. Canadian provinces are counted individually. 
Multipliers are used only once on all bands when figuring the score. 
Contestants running a power output of 100 watts or less on CW and 200 watts 
PEP or less on SSB, at all times during the contest, earn a power 
factor of 1.5 
Computation is done by multiplying the points times the multiplier times 
the power factor. 
For each duplicate contact that is removed from the log by the Vice-President, 
a penalty of three additional and equal contacts will be exacted. 

4. Logs: 
All logs must show the operator's ARRL section, VE province, or country to 
qualify for awards. Where applicable, logs must state whether or not the 
operator is a member of YLRL. For each QSO, logs must also state the power 
output. If you have 200 or more QSOs, submit a separate log for each band 
and submit a "dupe" sheet. 
Please type or print. Do not send carbon copies of logs. Photocopies are OK. 
Logs must be signed and show claimed score. No logs will be returned. 
Entries in log must also show time, band, date and transmitter power. 

5. Exchange: 
Station worked, QSO number given and received, RS(T) given and 
received, and section/province/country.
