  A late addition to the 2006 Contest Calendar.

  Please Spread The Word!

  Purpose : This contest is intended to test the viability of DominoEX
  as a digital contest mode,  since it compares favourably to RTTY 
  and may better  under certain conditions. Digital mode experimenters and 
  RTTY contesters are encouraged to participate and provide feedback

  MODE :                  DominoEX Only.
  Bands:                  160,80,40,20,15, 10
  CLASSES:             1.  Single Operator Multi Band
                                 2.  Single Operator Single Band
  MAX Power:          100 Watts
                
  Exchange:          RS(T) report plus a progressive contact three-digit serial
                             number starting with 001 for the first contact. Your log MUST show the
                             correct serial number sent and received for each contact.

  QSO Points:      Contacts between stations on different continents are worth three(3) points on 28, 21, and 14 MHz and six (6) points on 7
                             and 3.5 MHz.2. Contacts between stations on the same continent but in different countries, and contacts with maritime mobile stations, are
                             worth two (2)points on 28, 21, and 14 MHz and four (4) points on 7 and 3.5 MHz.3. Contacts between stations in the same country are                                    worth  one(1)point on 28, 21, and 14 MHz, and two (2) points on 7 and 3.5 MHz.IX. .

  Multipliers:        The multiplier is the number of "valid" prefixes worked.  A prefix is counted only once regardless of the number of times the same prefix is                                       worked.1. A prefix is the letter/numeral combination which forms the first part of the amateur call. Examples: N8, W8, AB8, DL5, DJ2, HG1,                                   WD200,WF96, 3DAØ, GB75, ZS66, U3, etc. Any difference in the numbering,lettering, or order of same shall constitute a separate prefix

  Score Calculation:  Single Operator: All Band score = total contact points from all bands multiplied by the number of different prefixes         worked (prefix multiplier; prefixes are counted only once).   Single Band score = total contact points on the band entered multiplied by the number of different prefixes worked (prefix multiplier).
