Non-members don't have a required exchange, so send anything. Just make the QSO!  (Exchange example: K9DWR de KQ4XYZ not a member QSL? kn or even K9DWR de KQ4XYZ 599 QSL? kn ).

Bands:
80 thru 10 meters, no WARC bands. Work each station once/band.
All contacts must be 2-way PSK31.
No repeater, cross-mode or cross-band contacts allowed.
 
Power:
Use no more than the stated maximum for your entry category. Please keep your power output set to a reasonable level to avoid QRMing others. Use the MINIMUM power necessary to make the contact at all times!
 
Scoring:
Work each station once per band, dupes count zero (0) points.
QSO points - Each unique contact counts QSO points per table below.
-      Non-member QSOs are worth 3 points
-      QSOs with member numbers from 1-500 are worth 5 points
-      QSOs with member numbers from 501-1000 are worth 6 points
-      QSOs with member numbers from 1001-1500 are worth 7 points
-      QSOs with member numbers from 1501-2000 are worth 8 points
-      QSOs with member numbers from 2001-2500 are worth 9 points
-      QSOs with member numbers from 2501-3000 are worth 10 points
-   QSOs with member numbers greater than 3000 are worth 11 points
 

 Multipliers - Multipliers are the number of unique member-join years worked, counted once (not per band). Since the 070 club has been in existence since mid-2000, and members have joined every year since, there are 26 possible multipliers in 2025, 27 in 2026, 28 in 2027, etc. That will be true in perpetuity, unless we have a year where no one joins during the first quarter of the year.

 
Final Score = (Total QSO Points) x (Total Different member-join years)
