FAQ’s

Q: You mentioned that each DXCC country on each band, including first contact with Australia, Canada, Japan and USA and that additionally, each call area in VK, VE, JA and W will count as one multiplier on each band (W1, WA4, JA2, VK4).
Am I correct if I understand that, in case of first contact with JA is JA1xxx, 2 multiplier points for JA and JA1 are acquired?

A: Yes, that’s right.


Q: In Japan, 7J1 to 7JØ are allocated to JA1 to JAØ, but 7K1 to 7N4 are allocated to JA1. Some contest sponsors rule out that
(a) multiplier counting method should be equal to the call sign allocation scheme, but some other contest sponsor rule out for the benefit of contesting software structure that
(b) 7L4 should be considered JA4 for multiplier counting.

Which kind of multiplier counting rule do you apply especially in case of Japan?

A: (a) is the right one (means call area)
