CQWW DX contest question
Greetings,
Perhaps someone can clarify this for me? G The rules seem a bit unclear on points. " VI. POINTS: 1. Contacts between stations on different continents are worth three (3) points. 2. Contacts between stations on the same continent but different countries, one (1) point. Exception: For North American stations only, contacts between stations within the North American boundaries count two (2) points. 3. Contacts between stations in the same country are permitted for zone or country multiplier credit but have zero (0) point value. " I read this to say NA stations can work some guy across town and get 2 points. Right? Otherwise it would state something like : contacts between stations within the North American boundaties - but different countries - count two points. Thanks for the help.

Hi Jim,
Point 3 indicates that your QSO across town would be worth zero points. The reason to work him would be if said station was a new country or zone. In that case, it would add to your multiplier total. Obviously, it would add nothing to your QSO points. 73, Bob K3PH In article , says... Greetings, Perhaps someone can clarify this for me? G The rules seem a bit unclear on points. " VI. POINTS: 1.
