        • The logged but not scored dupe contact is not qualified as an error;
        • The maximum time different between the logged contacts is 2 minutes. If based on received logs it could be proved clearly that who logged the wrong time, then contact of entrant logging wrong time should be only counted as an error;
        • 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!
