   Â· each DXCC country (except I & IS0) counts as 1 (one) multiplier.   
      
   The same multiplier (country/province) can be counted once and only once for   
   each band.   
      
   The 110 Italian provinces (by call-area) are the following:   
      
   Â·ÿI1: AL, AT, BI, CN, GE, IM, NO, SP, SV, TO, VB, VC.

   QSO/Points   
      
   Â· QSO/HRD with own country counts 0 (zero) point but is good for the   
   multipliers credit.   
      
   Â· QSO/HRD with own continent counts 1 (one) point,   
      
   Â· QSO/HRD with different continent counts 3 (three) points,   
      
   Â· QSO/HRD with any Italian (I & IS0) station counts 10 (ten) points.   
      
   The same station can be contacted on the same band once on SSB/CW/RTTY but   
   only the first QSO is good for multiplier credit.
