4.2 All categories allow free use of packet and WEB clusters.
4.3 Use of IP network for remote reception, including Internet radio stations for remote reception, is unsportsmanlike and a reason for disqualification.
4.4 Self-spotting is not allowed. Arrange a connection by phone, Internet and other similar means before and during the race, is prohibited.
4.5 Use of other marks to maintain the working frequency in other bands, negotiating skedding and negotiating retuning to obtain multipliers is prohibited.
4.6 One operator can retune to bands without restrictions - it can transmit only one signal at a time.
4.7 A station in the single operator category is a station operated by only one person, which performs everything connected with the operation of the station, i.e.. traffic, logging, and working with the cluster.
4.8 MOST stations are limited by a ten minute rule. The start time is determined by the moment of the first connection in the given band. Only one signal may be transmitted at a time. The exception is the signal on the next band, but only when connecting to a new multiplier. This additional band is also limited by the ten-minute rule and it is not allowed to call a call on this additional band. If connections are established, which run counter to this provision, may be listed in the diary, however, they will not be counted or penalized, they will be used for control and will be eligible for the counter station.
4.9 MO2T (Multi Op, two transmitters): A maximum of two transmitted signals on two different bands at any one time. Each transmitter can be retuned from band to band eight times per hour (00-59 minute hours). For example, change from 40 me and 80 m - here the connection and back again represents two retunings. Both stations can make any connection.

5. Competition code:

5.1 Stations outside OK-OM: report + connection number starting with 001.
