The station in any category can transmit only one signal at any given time 
except for multiplier QSO on different band. The 10-minute MULT band change 
rule is enforced. The "mistake" QSO on other band should be included in the 
LOG. These contacts will be scored as "0" points and not penalized. 

For categories C and G the 10-minute band change rule is enforced. The band 
change time is determined by the first QSO on new band logged.

SWL: SWL has to receive both the call signs and one exchange number (one point) 
or both callsigns and both exchange numbers (three points). The same callsign 
on the same band is giving points only once.
The same callsign (fro on point SWL) without points should not appear in the 
log more than 10 times on one band.

Multipliers: Each "country" by the R-150-S list is giving one multiplier on
