Special Rules for this Contest
MGM Modes: Any recognized MGM mode e.g. FT4, FT8, FSK441, ISCAT, JT65, RTTY, PSK. CW and EME (moon bounce) are not permitted
Contacts: Only one scoring contact may be made with a given station per band
Exchange: Report (as appropriate for the mode in use) and 4-character Locator (e.g. IO91). Serial number is not required
Scoring: On each band: One point per kilometre. Score is total kilometres worked multiplied by the number of large Locator Squares (e.g. IO91) worked. Distance is calculated to the centre of the large Locator Square (e.g. IO84MM to IO91MM). A QSO between stations in the same large Locator Square will count for 50 points. The points total for each band will be tabulated separately. Stations taking part in the contest must not simultaneously TX on more than one frequency and/or on more than one FT8 channel (per band).Please read the guidelines for the use of MGM in RSGB contests here
