The WIA is awaiting input mainly from the participants of the VHF/UHF Field Day activities in order to pick the final form of the rules & this is your chance to provide your view. If you have been a previous participant or are planning to do so in the future then this is your chance to have your say.
Division 1 : Grid Square based scoring using the Maidenhead Locator system definition, as denoted by the 4-character locator. A different 4 character square represents additional points for that band.
Division 2 : Distance based scoring where all stations are required to exchange Sub-Square locations (i.e. the 6-character locator). The points allocated per contact are based on 1 point per kilometre with a multiplier determined from a table based on the band being used for the contact.
Please vote only once and it makes no difference on this poll if you are a WIA member or not.
For full scoring details, read the 2017 Summer FD rules at http://www.wia.org.au/members/contests/v...0Rules.pdf, concentrating on pages 4 and 5.
