QSO Party Rules

All stations shall call “CQ MCD” and respond as follows:

• MARCONI CLUB A.R.I. Loano members: RST + "MC" + membership number (e.g. 599 MC123)
• Non-members (independent): RST + serial number starting from 001 (e.g. 599 001)

• 5 points for each valid QSO with MARCONI CLUB (MC) members
• 1 point for each valid QSO with non-member (independent) stations

Each station may be worked only once per band. The final score is calculated by multiplying the total QSO points by the total multipliers worked.

MC member and independent stations are allowed to work all participating stations.

Two separate overall point rankings will be established: one for MC members and one for independent stations. In the event of a tie in score, the station with the higher number of QSOs will be ranked first. An excessive number of unverifiable QSOs will lead to log disqualification.

Please note that all decisions of the MARCONI CLUB Contest Committee are final and non-appealable.
