Same station can be worked once on each band.

*Multipliers:*

Each DXCC country on each band, including first contact with Australia, 
Canada, Japan and USA. Additionally, each call area in *VK, VE, JA* and 
*W* will count as one (*1*) multiplier on each band (*W1, WA4, JA2, VK4*).

__must use '*/x*' for their actual call area, i.e. *K5DJ/1*.

*Scoring:*

Sum of QSO points x sum of multipliers = TOTAL SCORE.

*Logs:*

*Electronic log submissions:*

    The *Cabrillo* format is prefered but not mandatory. Please make
    sure that you fill in the Cabrillo header correctly and name the
    file *callsign.log*. An additional and COMPLETELY separate single
    band of choice log for Single Op all bands entrants must show the
    same information as above and be named with your
    *callsign_band.log*, i.e. sm7bhm_80.log.

    Information on Cabrillo format for SARTG contest can be found here
    <http://www.sartg.com/contest/wwcabril.htm>. Contest name is
    *SARTG-RTTY*.

    Users of "RTTY" by WF1B should convert their files. A conversion
    program can be found here <http://www.sartg.com/contest/wwcbrwf1.htm>.

    For non-Cabrillo entries only two files are required, *callsign.all*
    and *callsign.sum*. These logs must be in chronological order and
    show: band, date/time (UTC), call sign, exchange message sent and
    received, multipliers and QSO points.

    Please submit electronic logs as plain ASCII-files. Do not send
    Word, Excel or ADIF-files as they create extra work as they have to
    manually be converted to ASCII-files before processing.

    Multi-Op stations must include the call signs and names of all
    operators involved.

    Electronic logs can be submitted by Email or on 3 ½ inch disk
    togheter with a printed summary sheet.

    as required for electronic ones. In addition, a written summary
    sheet, dupe sheet and multiplier sheet must be submitted.

    checking of all entries.

    Your comments will be very much appreciated.
