3. Contest subject: To make the highest possible number of contacts
among Polish HAMs and HAMs outside Poland. Remember: Polish
stations can work only other countries; stations from outside
Poland can work only Polish stations in the contest.
4. Bands: From 1,8 to 28 MHz (without WARC bands).
5. Modes: CW and/or SSB. It is possible to work the same station
twice a band but on different modes. No crossmode contacts. It is
necessary to observe IARU band plan during the contest.
6. Contest CQ: Foreign stations: "CQ SP"; Polish stations: "CQ
CONTEST" on SSB or "CQ TEST" on CW.
7. Exchange numbers:
* Foreign stations send a six or five figure number consisting of
RST or RS report + serial number, for example 599001 on CW or
59001 on SSB.
* Polish stations give a three or two figure number representing
the RST or RS report + one letter denoting the WOJEWODZTWO
(province) abbreviation, for example 599G on CW or 59G on SSB.
* Possible abbreviations of Polish provinces (max. 16 on one
band): B, C, D, F, G, R, J, K, L, M, O, P, S, U, W, Z.

QSO with another SP station: 0 points.
9. Multiplier:
For foreign stations: each different WOJEWODZTWO (province)
denoted by the one letter abbreviation counts for one multiplier
(counted only once per band). The maximal multiplier is 16
provinces x 6 bands
For Polish stations: DXCC countries (counted only one time per
band)
10. Final score: The sum of QSO - points from all bands multiplied
by the sum of provinces from all bands (or from a band in Single
