According to IARU-region 1 regulations contest operation is not allowed on
the following contests free sections: 
CW:  3560 - 3800; 14060 - 14350 
SSB: 3650 - 3700; 14100 - 14125; 14300 - 14350 kHz

Modes:
------
CW, SSB

Exchange:
----------
a contest QSO can only be established between non-German and German stations
and also between German stations. Non-German stations give the usual five or
six digit RS/RST and serial number. German stations give RS/RST and DOK 
(local area code). A station may be worked once per band per mode

Multipliers:
------------
the multiplier for non-German stations is determined by the number of German
districts worked on each band regardless of mode. The first letter of the
DOK shows the German district. From special DOKs (two or more letter/figure
combinations) the first letter counts only. Thus a maximum of 26 multipliers
per band is possible. German stations use the current DXCC/WAE-country-list.
Each country counts one multiplier per band regardless of mode

Points:
-------
each complete exchange counts 3 points for non-German stations. The final
score is computed by multiplying the total number of QSO points by the sum
of multipliers from all bands

Special regulations for SWLs:
-----------------------------
SWLs get one point (SSB) or three points (CW) for logging each new German
station with the sent RS/RST and DOK and the call of the station working
with the German station. The multiplier is determined by the sum of German
districts heard on each band.
Each German station may be counted once in SSB and once in CW on each band

Logs:
-----
the log must be accompanied by a summary sheet and a multiplier check list.
Duplicate contacts have to be clearly marked in the log. If more than 100
stations have been worked on a band, a separate check sheet for duplicate
contacts is obligatory. You may submit your contest entry on discette
inlieu of paper logs. The floppy discette must be IBM-compatible, MS-DOS
formats, 3,5-inch (40 or 80 track). The log information must be in an ASCII
file, following the international standard file format and contain all log
exchange information. One entry per discette. An official summary sheet or
reasonable facsimile with a signed contest participation declaration is
required with all entries.
Please note: Logs violating these rules can be regarded as checklogs
