3. Conditions of Participation

The contest is free of charge and open to all DXers regardless of their membership in any DX club and 
their knowledge. Logs have to be made through the wellenforum-Online-Log facility which will be available 
at    http://www.wellenforum.de/contest/    in due course.
Please note, that a registration is necessary to be granted access to the Log-facility.

Every station has to be heard at least for 10 minutes. Notes on the programme heard have to be logged 
as detailed as possible to really identify the station (no empty phrases like ?music?, ?news? etc.). 


4. Scoring

Each broadcast region (please note the specialty for UK) will score only once.
Each broadcast region receives a basic score of 500 points divided by the number of logs for this region.
This individual score will be round up to the nearest full number.
There will be a maximum score of 50 points per log.

Ambiguous logs without a definite identification will receive only 1/3 of the full score.




Example:  	Faroe Is. was logged 20 times 	= 500 / 20 = 25 points per participant
        	       Madeira was logged 2 times = 500 / 2 = 250 points = 50 points per participant

 
5. Awards

Every participant will receive a participation certificate prompt after the contest has finished showing individual 
score and ranking. In addition every participant will receive a special diploma listing those individually logged 
broadcast regions that have been confirmed by the contest management.


We wish you good listening!
