A contact with a station meaning multiplier has to be logged at least more two logs if this station has not sent a log. Otherwise this contact is going to be erased;
Information coming from any other QTH is irregular;
All entrants must conform to rules of their radio amateur license.
Packet cluster can be used in all entries. Self-spotting is forbidden!
