[FQP] Scoring

[Michael Vondran]

So when I am logging I need to notate the call sign and the county (I know 
that mobile stations will be moving so I assumed I would have to have 
someway to track where they were) thier signal report and my signal report 
the time and date?

If you are not using a contest logging program, first thing to do is
download the FQP Log sheet http://www.floridaqsoparty.org/files/fqplog.pdf

and summary sheet
http://www.floridaqsoparty.org/files/fqpsum.pdf

CW QSO's are worth 2 point, Phone are worth 1.

Suppose you work
100 Phone QSOs (100 X 1) = 100 points
25 CW QSO's (25 x 2) = 50 points
Total QSO points (100 + 50) = 150

Now, you worked 25 multipliers (25 counties) on Phone and 10 multipliers
(10 counties) on CW, for a total of 35 multipliers.

Up to this point, your score is 150 QSO points X 35 multipliers = 5,250
points.

You said you will be running Low Power (less than 150W), so your "Power
Multiplier" is 2.  5,250 points X 2 power multiplier = 10,500 which is
your final score.

The "formula" to figure this out is on the Summary sheet.  Your "claimed
score" isn't too critical, since during the log checking process your
score may go up or down.

Hope that helps!

Have fun this weekend ...
