[CQ-Contest] НА: RE: RDXC

[Richard DiDonna NN3W]

Multiply the QSO count by 2 to get what?  A 48 hour count?  If so, thats not valid since, under normal conditions, there is almost always fewer QSOs to be made on Day 2.  A more realistic factor would be to multiply it by 1.6 or 1.5 to get a 48 hour equivalent.

Of course, comparing the QSO tallies I think is a bit of apples to oranges.  ARRL DX and WPX are single mode contests on a given weekend.  RDXC is a dual mode contest which allows you to theoretically double your QSO count.
