In subsequent calendar months, station X may again contact station Y in the same 4-digit grid squares as long as at least one of the two stations has moved 10 miles or more from any previous location. For example if W1GHZ logs a contact from FN42 with N1SAI in FN33 in January, then in February, W1GHZ may again log a contact from FN42 to N1SAI in FN33 as long as one or both stations have moved 10 miles or more from the location used in January. Either station may move to another 4-digit grid square for additional contacts. If an operator doesn t know what planet he is on, it doesn t count. All contacts must be at least one kilometer and between different 6-digit grid squares, with the exception of a station s initial contact on a band, which may be any distance.
All modes are permissible.
Grid circling and other manufactured contacts are prohibited. If it feels like a manufactured contact, don t do it. There is no rule 6. Equipment may only be used for one callsign per calendar month, except for members of immediate family. Thus a spare rig may be loaned out to different operators, but only one operator per month.
