[WriteLog] VOLTA Scoring

[Gary AL9A]

Seems to be the Italian way of doing things.  I have 94 Q's and 7,242,136 
points!  Wow, am I good or what?  Actually the secret is in the way the 
points are calculated.  Per the rules:  "Total exchange points multiplied by 
the total number of multiplier(s) multiplied by the the total number of 
QSOs.  {[Points x Multipliers x QSOs = Final score]."  So this contest 
actually uses TWO multipliers - the country multiplier which is then 
multiplied by the numbers of QSOs.  I think this is why, in pre-Euro days, a 
cup of coffee in Italy cost about 10 million Lire!

73,
