Each QSO with an UA2-stations (city or region of Kaliningrad) counts 1 point, making a 5-band-QSO with the same UA2-station will give you 5 points. Europeans need to earn 10 points, and all others need 5.

All modes and bands (160m-10m) are accepted . Award fee: $US15, 15€ or 23 IRC.

In this case don’t forget name, call sign and catchword "amber coast".
