8. Contact Points:

The number of QSO points for each contact depends on the distance between the two stations. This is computed by taking the distance

between the centers of the two WW QTH locators (grid squares). Points will be scored on the basis of one point per kilometer.

Contact between stations from the same WW QTH locator is worth 90 points.

Final score is sum of all QSO points.

If your software does not compute the QSO points, our automated WEB service log checking software will do this.

QSO points are not recognized for:

- incorrectly logged calls (Bad Call)

- incorrectly logged exchange numbers

- incorrectly logged QTH locators

- QSO is not present in the other station log (NIL)

- dupe QSO

- Unique Calls

Penalties for errors shall not apply.
