-
No 1.8 MHz operation
-
QSO alerting assistance is allowed in all categories, i.e., there is no Single-Op Assisted category
-
Single-Op 30-hour limit (vs. 36)

Contact points:
– Different-country contacts within any continent (not just North America) get 2 or 4 points
– Same-country contacts get 2 points on the low bands
