5.2 Non-Kazakhstan stations should send RS(T) report plus progressive serial number, starting with 001 for the first contact.
6. Contact points
6.1 Kazakhstan stations:
— QSO within the country – 2 points,
— QSO between stations on the same continent, but different countries – 3 points,
— QSO between stations on different continents – 5 points.
6.2 Non-Kazakhstan stations:
— QSO with Kazakhstan station – 10 points (doesn’t depend on the continent),
— QSO within the same country – 2 points,
— QSO between stations on the same continent, but different countries – 3 points,
— QSO between stations on different continents – 5 points.
Dupes are contacts made with the same station on the same band and the same mode. If the first contact between stations is valid, dupes have 0 points value. If the first contact is not valid, second (dupe) contact is accepted. Dupe contacts are not penalized; one does not have to mark them in the log submission. Moreover, participants are strictly recommended to keep records of DUPES in the log file.
SWLs contact points are calculated according to the same rules.
7. Multipliers
Two multipliers are counted:
— One multiplier (1) for each different KDA district contacted on each band.
— One multiplier (1) for each different DXCC country on each band.
The multiplier is counted once for each band, regardless of mode.

The final score is a total contact points number multiplied by the total amount of KDA districts and DXCC countries.
