                      2000 QRP to the Field 
                 Sponsored by the NorCal QRP Club

                   Theme: "Run to the Borders"

Contest Period: April 22nd, 1600Z to 2400Z.
4th Saturday in April
{04SAT04:1600:480}

CW HF QRP Only (5W max), no WARC bands, standard QRP calling freqs.

   Stations operating from a state/province/country border get an extra 
multiplier for each SPC intersecting at their *exact* location. Example: 
KI6DS operates from the CA-AZ border, getting x2 Border Operator multi, 
and must give a signal report from each state (Example: "579 CA, 579 AZ"). 
Stations working KI6DS would get SPC credit for each state, as well as 
QSO pts for each separate signal report received.

Exchange: RST and SPC (Stations operating on a state/DX border must give 
          a separate RST for each state, province or country.)

          Example: (Field op on CA/AZ border) "559 CA, 559 AZ"

Points:   5 pts per QSO. Stations working Border Operators score 5 pts per 
          report received, and should log each state/report separately.

Multipliers: 

      SPC Total (each counts once per band).
      Border Operator - Number of SPCs intersecting at your position.
      Location - Home = x2, Field = x4 (Field = battery power and temporary 
          antennas).

Final Score:  QSO points x SPCs x Location X Border Operator Multi.

Awards:  Top Ten Scores Certificates
