>3. Indicate multiplier only the FIRST TIME it is worked on each band.
>4. Logs must be checked for duplicate contacts, correct QSO points and multipliers. Submitted logs must have duplicate contacts clearly shown.
>5. We want an electronic log. The Committee requires an electronic log for any possible high score.

>E-MAIL Required Content: We strongly recommend you submit the Cabrillo file created by all major logging programs. If Cabrillo is unavailable, then:
>
>(1) A SUMMARY sheet in plain-text ASCII, and (2) your LOG in plain-text ASCII.
>
>These files may be sent in either one message or in separate messages. Be sure to put the STATION CALLSIGN and the MODE in the "Subject:" line of each message.
>Your log should be sent in plain-text ASCII format. Every logging program has the option of producing an ASCII text log. Acceptable submissions can also include all other fixed-column ASCII formats. If you must send a binary file, it will have to be encoded. All popular encoding schemes are acceptable, including UUencode, Base64, and BinHex. Your software may automatically encode your log as an attachment.

>DISKS: If you use a computer, please send your IBM, MS-DOS compatible computer disk. A disk containing your files may be submitted in lieu of a paper log. All disks MUST be accompanied by a PAPER summary sheet satisfying all logging instructions. Label your disk clearly with YOUR CALL, files included, the mode (SSB or CW), and your category. The format we require for the most common logging programs is your CT.all file (e.g. HSØAC.all), N6TR. DAT, or NA.QDF files. Name your file correctly (for example, HSØAC.all).
>Use a separate sheet for each band.
>Each entry must be accompanied by a summary sheet showing all scoring information, category of competition, contestant's name and address in BLOCK LETTERS, and a signed declaration that all contest rules and regulations for amateur radio in the country of operation have been observed.
