Operating breaks must be shown in the log.


EXCHANGE: 
Station worked, QSO number, RS(T), ARRL section/VE province/country. 
Entries in log must also show time, band, date, and transmitter power.


SCORING: 
(1) Phone and CW will be scored as separate contests. 
Submit separate logs for each contest. 
(2) DX YLs, including Hawaii and Alaska, may contact all the North 
American continent, which includes the 48 contiguous states and the 
Canadian provinces. 
(3) Contestants on the North American continent (including the 48 
contiguous states and Canadian provinces) may contact DX YL stations, 
including Hawaii and Alaska. (4) A station may be counted once on each 
band for credit and one point is earned for each station worked once 
on each band. 
(5) Multiply the number of QSOs by the number of 
different ARRL sections/VE provinces/countries worked. 
A multiplier is counted only once in the contest. 
(6) Contestants running 150 watts or less on CW and 300 watts PEP or less
on SSB, at all times, may multiply the results of 5) above by 1.5 
(the low power multiplier).


LOGS: 
All logs must show your ARRL section/VE province/country to qualify for 
awards. For each QSO, logs must show the station worked, QSO number 
given and received, RS(T) given and received, ARRL section/VE 
province/country of station worked, time, band, and date. 
Logs must also state the power output used. 
If you have 200 or more QSOs, submit a separate log for each band and

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.
