Non Naval stations give RST + QSO serial number

Points: qso with a Naval station 10 pts; qso with a Non Naval station 1 point. Work the same station once per band. QSO between Non Naval stations are OK.

Multipliers: all the Naval stations worked are multipliers. Count them only once (not again on  new bands).

Total score: total points x total multipliers

SWL Rules: hrd of a Naval station = 10 points; hrd of a Non Naval station = 1 point.

The same station can be counted only once per band. Multipliers are all the Naval stations logged, counted only once in the contest. The logs must report both stations of a qso.

LOGS: send your logs via e-mail to the contest manager to sandro_i7ale@alice.it . You will receive confirmation of log receipt. Any software can be used, all are welcome. But it is suggested to use “SD” by EI5DI, ( www.ei5di.com), which is free and supports the INORC  Contest (download the most recent version). In this case you will only need to send the  .LOG file produced by SDCHECK, after renaming it  “your call.LOG”.

Paper logs can be sent (if you have to) to the Contest Manager address: Sandro D’Onofrio, Via Madonna della Libera 20, 71030 MACCHIA  FG  -  Italy.

Pictures and soapbox comments are welcomed.

Scores: logs will be scored separately for Naval and Non naval stations, as well as for SWLs.

Prizes: first place Naval and first place Non Naval get a BEGALI Paddle kindly made available by Begali (www.i2rtf.com) ,  and a nice ceramic crest  offered by Luigi I8JYK. First place SWL receives a ceramic crest, by I8JYK.

All  stations submitting the log will receive a certificate of participation with their score and position in the final results.

INORC Award: along with the log submission, if the qso logged satisfy the Award Rules, you can also submit the request for the INORC Award (see rules in the pertinent page of our INORC site www.inorc.it ).
