You may work the same station on different bands.
10 band changes per hour are allowed.

5. QSO Points
Each QSO worth 50 points + 1 point for every degree difference in geographical coordinates, both latitude and longitude.
Every QSO with a Polar Circle station gives additional 100 points.
Every QSO with RAEM memorial station gives additional 300 points.
The final score consists of:
* QSO points
* Coordinates difference points
* QSO with Polar Circle stations points
* QSO with RAEM station points
Participants, located in the Polar Circle, multiple their final score to 1.1.
An example: 300 QSO x 50 +11000 coordinates difference points + 3200 additional points = 29200 points.
6. Short-wave listeners
SWL stations must copy both calls and one exchange numbers in case of one-way QSO reception, and both call and both exchange numbers in case of two-way QSO reception. One-way QSO reception worth 1 point, two-way - 3 points. Dupe reception of the same station on the same band worth 0 points. Final score is the sum of the QSO points by the bands.
