Friday May 23
CQ WPX Contest - CW
*DATE/TIME* : May 24-25, 00:00 UTC Saturday to 23:59 UTC Sunday

*EXCHANGE* : RS(T) report plus a progressive contact serial number starting with 001 for the first contact.

*RULES* : Contest Rules ( https://cqwpx.com/rules/ )

*OBJECTIVE* : For amateurs worldwide to contact as many amateurs and prefixes as possible during the contest period

*SCORING* :

*A. Score:* The final score is the result of the total QSO points multiplied by the number of different prefixes worked.

*B. QSO Points:* A station may be worked once on each band for QSO point credit:

*1.* Contacts between stations on different continents are worth three (3) points on 28, 21, and 14 MHz and six (6) points on 7, 3.5, and 1.8 MHz.

*2.* Contacts between stations on the same continent, but different countries, are worth one (1) point on 28, 21, and 14 MHz and two (2) points on 7, 3.5, and 1.8 MHz. Exception: For North American stations only—contacts between stations within the North American boundaries (both stations must be located in North America) are worth two (2) points on 28, 21, and 14 MHz and four (4) points on 7, 3.5, and 1.8 MHz.

*3.* Contacts between stations in the same country are worth 1 point regardless of band.

*C. Prefix Multipliers:* The prefix multiplier is the number of valid prefixes worked. Each PREFIX is counted only once regardless of the band or number of times the same prefix is worked. A PREFIX is the letter/numeral combination which forms the first part of the amateur call.
