    # All categories, except Multi Op, only one transmitted signal is allowed at any one time.
    # All stations can use the spotting network(like DXsummit).
    # No SELF-SPOTTING of any form is allowed in all categories.
    Self-spotting is defined as generating spots for your contest callsign by yourself.
    # All stations, except Maritime Mobile, must not change the operating location in entire contest period.
    # Anyone may only submit one entry in spite of the callsign used.
    Submission of check logs for operation on other bands or other callsigns are encouraged.
    Any operators at MULTI-OP category can NOT enter the contest withyour own callsign.
    # JA stations must sign their call area as "/#" if they operate from different call area against their callsign.

    *1 Single operator must do all contest related things by himself.
    +Single-Operator can change bands at any time.
    +Multiple Single-Operator entries from the same location must use different callsigns.
    *2 High Power: Output power 100w over
    *3 Low Power: Output power 100w or less
    *4 Multi Op station must remain the same band at least 10 minutes
    when they make the contact on that band (RUNNING station).
    They can transmit one other band simultaneously only when the station worked is a new multiplier (MULTIPLIER station).
    The above 10 minutes rule will be applied to each RUNNING station and MULTIPLIER station separately.
    *5 All Maritime Mobile stations must sign "/MM" after the callsign.
    They will send CQ-Zone number for exchange with JA stations only.
    Their scores will be listed in the result but not eligible for the awards.

  4. CONTEST EXCHANGE

    JAs : RS(T) + Prefecture number(01 to 50)
    Others: RS(T) + CQ Zone number

    You can download the Prefecture number= jidxmult.lst

  5. POINTS

    Only contacts between JA and DX(+/MM) are worth contest points.
    (DX-DX, DX-/MM or JA-JA contacts are no point and no multi)

    1.8MHz 4pts
    3.5/3.8MHz 2pts
    7MHz, 14MHz and 21MHz 1pts
    28MHz 2pts

    The same station may be worked only once per band.
    No cross mode, cross band nor repeater contacts are allowed.

  6. MULTIPLIER

    JAs:
    The number of different DXCC entity (except JD1) and CQ Zone worked on each band.
    QSO with /MM stations is worth for Point and Zone multi but no Entity multi.

    Others:
    The number of different Japanese Prefecture plus Ogasawara Is.(JD1), Minami-Torishima Is.(JD1) and Okino-Torishima Is.
    worked on each band. Maximum of 50 (See the jidxmult.lst) per band.

  7. SCORING

    The final score is the result of the (Total QSO points) multiplied by (Total multiplier).
    Ex. 100 QSO points x 59 multi = 5,900
