– Single band entrants are required to include all contacts made during the contest period,
even if on other bands. Only contacts made on the band specified in the Cabrillo header will be
considered for scoring purposes.
– Dupes are not penalized and should be left in logs.
– Time difference in logs should not be greater than three minutes.
– If a station is a new multipler – and has not sent its log in, it should appear in at least two more
received logs in order to be accepted.
– The use of DX-Cluster, Skimmer or Skimmer-like technology is allowed, self-spotting is not.
– Invalid QSOs are not counted. Incorrectly received call sign or incorrectly received exchange
information makes a QSO invalid.
– Unique Calls, unless the organizer has a log of participant which would have been declared as
UNIQUE CALL.
– For RUN stations there is a ten minute rule for band switching: when they switch bands, they must
spend at least 10 minutes on the band before the new band change.
MULT stations can change bands at will, but only to work new multipliers.
