Participation is free and irrespective of any listener’s club membership. Newcomers as well as medium wave specialists can participate. Every station has to be heard at least for 10 minutes. Notes on the programme heard have to be logged as detailed as possible to really identify the station (no empty phrases like “music”, “news” etc.).
4. Scoring
Every bc station heard on longwave and mediumwave can be logged.

Example:
Your place of reception (QTH) is in Germany – therefore your CIRAF zone is 28. All stations from this zone are worth 10 points. Logs from CIRAF zones bordering zone 28 are worth 20 points. In this case bordering zones are 18, 27, 29, 37, 38 and 39. Stations from any other CIRAF zone are worth 30 points.
