CLASSES: - CW - SSB - Mixed Mode - QRP (5 watts or less) - Low Power (5.1 - 200 watts) - High Power (more than 200 watts) - Single Operator - Multi Operator Single Transmitter - Washington Club Station - Mobile - Washington County DXpedition The Single Operator division is allowed only one transmitting signal. Use of packet spotting or other outside assistance is not allowed. The Multi-Operator Single-Transmitter division must work only one band/mode for at least 10 minutes before changing band or mode. Only one transmitting signal is allowed. Use of packet spotting or other outside assistance is allowed. The Washington Club division is a multi-single station representing a club in Washington and using that club’s callsign (as assigned by the FCC). This station must work only one band/mode for at least 10 minutes before changing band or mode. Only one transmitting signal is allowed. Use of packet spotting or other outside assistance is allowed. The Mobile division entrants will operate from a station that is self-contained, capable of legal motion (street, water, or air) while operating, motion optional. A station that changes counties is considered to be a new station and may be contacted again for point and multiplier credit. Use of packet spotting or other outside assistance is not allowed. The Washington County DXpedition division is intended for those who cannot go true mobile, but would like to activate some rare counties by going to a State Park or farmer’'s field and throwing up a dipole or ther portable antenna "Field Day Style". General Rules: go as many places as you want; you must use a portable antenna; you do not need to use portable power; if you move to a new county you must travel a minimum of 5 miles between locations. A station that changes counties is considered to be a new station and may be contacted again for point and multiplier credit. Use of packet spotting or other outside assistance is not allowed. EXCHANGE: RS(T) and County for Washington stations. RS(T) and State, Province, or DXCC country for non-WA stations. QSO POINTS: - 2 points for phone - 4 points for CW The same station may be worked for QSO points on each band both SSB and CW (CW QSO’s in CW sub bands ONLY). Portables and Mobiles count for QSO points and Multiplier credits in different Counties. Contacts with stations operating from a county-line can log one QSO from each county. MULTIPLIERS: Washington stations count Washington counties (39), US states (50), VE Provinces, and DX entities. Stations outside of Washington use Washington Counties (39 total). Each Multiplier may be counted ONLY ONCE regardless of mode or band. SPECIAL BONUS STATION: A QSO with the sponsoring club’s (Western Washington DX Club) callsign, W7DX, will add a 500 point bonus for each mode. A total of 1000 points may be earned in this manner (not 500 points for each QSO on each different band). These points are added after all other scoring is completed (they are not multiplied by the "multiplier"). The Special Bonus Station will give out a county multiplier like a normal station. Contacts with the Special Bonus Station will also earn the usual 2 points on phone and 4 points on CW. In 2000 the Puget Amateur Radio Society - http://www.qsl.net/k7par/ - (in appreciation for their DXpedition to Wahkiakum County in 1999) will have the honor of being the Special Bonus Station. They will use the W7DX callsign during the contest. SCORING: Total = QSO points from all bands X total multipliers + Special Bonus Station bonus points.
