In Part 1 listen please to any BC station of the contest country, for 15 minutes at least. For one country one log only. Unofficial, pirate and clandestine stations are not allowed.
Scoring: 1000 points of each logged country will be divided by a number of logs and rounded to two decimal places. Maximum point value 200 points for one country.
In Part 2 you can raise your score by listening to any DX programme. The number of DX programmes is limited to 6! No particular country limit. Scoring in the same way as in Part 1, maximum point value 100 points for one DX programme.
Full value of the Quiz questions is 1/10 of the points reached in Part 1 + Part 2.
Example: If your point value of Part 1 + Part 2 is 1000 points, and you reach 65 quiz points, then you can raise your total score to 1000 *1.065 = 1065 points.
We wish you good listening!
