# Two-transmitter entries.
# • All contacts must be made without the assistance of intermediary stations, such as repeaters,
# digipeaters, satellites, etc..
# • A station that changes counties may be contacted again for 
# point and multiplier credit.
# • Contacts with stations operating from a county-line must log one QSO from each county.
# County lines, whether land or water, are defined in accordance with the MARAC rules at
# marac.org/marac_information_package.htm, click "County Line".
#
# EXCHANGE
# Washington stations: RS(T) and County
# • Non-Washington stations: RS(T) and State, Province (see multiplier list), or DXCC entity
# QSO POINTS
# • 2 points for Phone
# • 4 points for CW and Digital
# • The same station may be worked for QSO points on each band on Phone, CW, and Digital.
# • CW and Digital QSO's must be in the CW/Data sub-bands.
#
# MULTIPLIERS
# Washington stations:
#   Washington counties (39)
#   US states less WA (49) - District of Columbia counts as MD
#   VE multipliers per the California QSO Party rules*
#   DXCC entities
#   KH6 & KL7 may be counted as either a state or as a DXCC entity.
#   US & VE do not count as separate entities.
#   *There are eight Canadian multipliers: Maritime-MAR (VE1, VE9, VO1, VO2 and VY2),
#   VE2-QC, VE3-ON, VE4-MAN, VE5-SK, VE6-AB, VE7-BC, and Northern Territories-NT
#   (VY0, VY1, VE8).
# Non-Washington stations:
#   Washington counties (39 total)
#
# • Each Multiplier may be counted ONLY ONCE regardless of mode or band.
# • Mobile stations count multipliers ONLY ONCE and not once from each county activated.
#
# SPECIAL BONUS STATION
# A QSO with the sponsoring club's (Western Washington DX Club) callsign, W7DX, will add a 500-
# point bonus for each mode. A total of 1000 points may be earned in this manner (not 500 points
# for each QSO on each different band). These points are added after all other scoring is
# completed (they are not multiplied by the "multiplier"). The Special Bonus Station will count 
# for county multiplier. Contacts with the Special Bonus Station will also earn 2 points on 
# phone and 4 points on CW or Digital.
#
# SCORING 
# • Total = QSO points from all bands X total multipliers + Special Bonus Station 
# bonus points.
# • Mobiles sum QSO points from all counties. Do not calculate separate scores
# from each county.
# 
# LOGS
# Logs must show date and time in UTC, stations worked, exchange sent and received, band and
# modes used and QSO points claimed. Cabrillo format logs are encouraged.
# Log in non-Cabrillo format:
# • Show each new multiplier as it is worked.
# • Log county line QSOs as two separate QSOs - do not combine counties on one line.
# • Dupe sheets required for 200 QSO's or more.
# • Summary sheet listing QSO totals by mode, total multipliers, and final claimed score
# Cabrillo format logs are encouraged, but plain ASCII files are acceptable if they show the QSO
# information in columns with each multiplier identified as it is worked.
# Electronic submissions can include the summary sheet in the body of email message or as a
# separate attachment.
