Stations working /p in field conditions give the zip code of the nearest village.
Scoring: 5 points for each QSO with an OM and OK station.
Multipliers: Each new zip code and each new district emblem.
Result: The sum of points for QSOs from both stages is multiplied by the sum of the multipliers from both stages.
In categories A3 and B3, 2 connections can be established with the same station in each stage,
one on CW and one on SSB. The time difference between these QSOs must be at least 5 min.
Each such connection is worth 5 points, but the multipliers are counted only once in each stage
regardless of the broadcasting method (CW, SSB).
