Bonus stations may be worked once per BAND and MODE for 100 bonus points per QSO.  For example, a station working K4KCG on 20M CW, RTTY and SSB would earn 300 bonus points.  Logging programs do not need to track the bonus points earned.  When your Cabrillo log is submitted, the KYQP committee will calculate bonus points and add them automatically to your posted score.  This approach enables bonus stations to change each year, without having to update the various contest logging programs.

NOTE: KY Bonus station scores will be added to their Club score total.

• Each unique Kentucky-based station is a multiplier when worked in each of the 120 counties.
• When logging other Kentucky stations, enter the KY County as the exchange (not KY).

• DX contacts count for QSO points only. Enter DX for the exchange.

For Non-Kentucky Station operators

• Each Kentucky-based station is a multiplier based on their county.
• When logging Kentucky stations, enter the KY County as the exchange (not KY).

For ALL operators

• KY mobiles traveling to a new KY county may be contacted again for QSO Point and County Multiplier credit.

• All entries using 5 watts or less, Power Multiplier = 3.
