Object: To work as many amateur stations in as many different 2 degrees x 1
degree grid squares as possible using authorized frequencies above 50 MHz.
Foreign stations work W/VE amateurs only.
So, the following activites (during contest time) would be in violation of this
objective and the spirit of the contest:
1. Taking time out to sleep
2. Taking a bathroom break
3. Leaving the radio for a while to see the XYL, spend time with the kids, do
some house work, etc.
4. Having less than all possible bands
5. Tuning off the radio due to a thunderstorm
Surprised we don't have more disqualifications than we do.
