There
are 4 sections - all QSOs count for points and bonuses :
Operation must be from a single Station location where all transmitters, receivers, and antennas are located within a circle of a radius no greater than 500m. Remote receivers outside the Station location are not permitted. Remote operation of a station is allowed where the operator is situated within the same country on the DXCC list. Additionally an operator's home station, as shown in the licensee's licence documents, may be remotely operated from a location in another country. A remotely operated station must obey all station licence, operator licence, and category conditions. The callsign used must be one issued or permitted by the Regulatory Authority of the remote station location. The address of the operator must be included in the 'Address of Operator when operating Remote from Station Address' box on the Station Information Page and the address of the remote station must be included in the Cabrillo header 'ADDRESS:' box. The RSGB HF Contest Committee may place remotely operated stations in a separate results table. |

Each QSO scores 2 points. Non-UK&CD stations can work
each other for points and bonuses. A Bonus of 5 points is scored for the first contact with every UK&CD District and for the first contact with every DXCC Country (entity) outside the UK&CD. The final score is QSO points + Bonus points. |
