but cannot do HF at their
\nQTH? Here is a way they can join us\, on

\nEach FM station worked is worth one point. Each SSB station wo rked is worth 2 points. A Fixed station may be worked only once in each mo de\, while a Mobile station may be worked more than once if it has moved t o a different Municipality. 10 bonus points for each municipality that you contact. 10 bonus points for each municipality you are transmitting from.
