Multiply the QSO count by 2 to get what? A 48 hour count? If so, thats not
valid since, under normal conditions, there is almost always fewer QSOs to be
made on Day 2. A more realistic factor would be to multiply it by 1.6 or 1.5
to get a 48 hour equivalent.
Of course, comparing the QSO tallies I think is a bit of apples to oranges.
ARRL DX and WPX are single mode contests on a given weekend. RDXC is a dual
mode contest which allows you to theoretically double your QSO count.
