Exchange:

all of the following data MUST BE PART OF THE EXCHANGE:
- your callsign
- the other station's callsign
- your serial number starting from 001 (RST not required)
- your name or nickname
Please note that BOTH callsigns MUST be repeated by BOTH stations. A valid
exchange is: "OK2FD de I2UIY 118 Paolo" while "OK2FD 118 Paolo" is NOT a
valid exchange

Special QSY Rule:
-----------------
if any station initiates a call (by sending CQ, QRZ?, etc.), he is permitted
to work ONLY one station on the same frequency. He must thereafter move AT
LEAST 2 (two) kHz before he may call another station or before he may
solicit again (CQ, QRZ?, etc.) other calls.

Valid  contacts:
----------------
valid contacts are QSOs correctly logged and confirmed. Each operator may
use ONE and ONLY one name during the Sprint. If the exchange is copied
incorrectly, that operator will receive zero (0) points. In case of
miscopied  callsigns, both stations will receive zero (0) points for that
QSO. The Committee reserves the right to apply penalties in particular cases
of violation of the rules or spirit of the contest

Scoring:
--------
each valid QSO counts one point

Final Score:
------------
is  the total number of QSOs
