*Rules for scoring are contrary to the required summary sheet concerning
how "bonus points" for QSOs with W3P are to be counted. I originally
posted my score as 70,850, which is the way the rules say the score is
to be computed, but the summary sheet makes it clear that it is to be
computed differently. I think N4GG's claimed score follows the rules
also, instead of the summary sheet. Note that to compete for awards and
to have your score officially counted, you must MAIL in a summary sheet
or equivalent. I assume this requirement is to maximize the chances
that you will also contriube $3.00 or more toward the expenses;
otherwise, why not allow the summary sheet to be submitted electronically?
