[CQ-Contest] Fw: 7QP Rules

[Alan Zack]

I used CT with the 7qp STATE file provided by AD1C with no problem.  It 
did only give me 1 point per SSB (I was SSB only) contact instead of 2 
points but no problem just doubling that number before manually 
multiplying it by the number of MULTS worked.  But I suspect the log 
checkers have a way of correctly scoring your entry no matter what 
program you use as long as it is in Cabrillo format.  Only confusing 
part was when EURO stations in the ARI Contest needed a S/N from me for 
their contest log.  I kept a little side note on paper to know what ARI 
S/N I was on.  Also, if you logged any Italian stations in the ARI I 
would suggest you log them as DX and not as the provinces they were 
giving out.  Many of their province designators would be confused as 
states (PA, MO, MI, RI, etc) and throw off the score.  For anyone 
outside of NA I just logged them as DX rather than their country prefix 
or the Italian provinces given by the Italian stations.
