Power Category – QRP (upto 5 Watts), Low Power (upto 100Watts), High Power (upto 400Watts)

Guidelines:

QSOs on Net frequencies during Net times will be considered INVALID
Participants are required to adhere to general frequency guidelines and not cause QRM to other ongoing QSOs etc.
Participants shall submit log in Cabrillo format. Most of the logging programs have this facility today. One suggested logger program is N1MM and one may select CQWPX contest type to generate automatic serial number for example.
QSO with one callsign is considered only once per mode per 2 hour session in total.
i.e. if VU2XYZ makes two SSB QSOs with VU2ABC once on 22nd evening at 8PM and second time on 23rd morning at 7:30 AM, both QSOs are considered for points. Also they can make total 3 QSOs in each 2 hour session. i.e. 1 SSB, 1 CW, 1 Digital and then again next day morning session they can make another 3 similar QSOs.
