: Yes -- on different repeaters. You can't just make a contact every few minutes with the same person on the same machine. That would be a duplicate contact, and you won't get points for it. It's also not terribly respectful to those on the repeater ! This is the *Dean Clause*, named affectionately for Dean KG7ODB, who asked the question during an info session.

Explain the multipliers to me.
: Sure ! First, you get double points for any contact made with 5W or less. Then, we do some sleuthing through the log, looking for club and band groups. If you hit all repeaters in a given band (for example, all 6m repeaters in the contest), you get double points for all those contacts on that band. If you hit all of the repeaters in a given club, we double all those points too (for example, all three PSRG repeaters in the contest). Finally, if you activate at least 80 repeaters, we double your full score. This is a big one, and will be hard to achieve, but well worth it !
: Sure ! First, you get double points for any contact made with 5W or less. Then, we do some sleuthing through the log, looking for club and band groups. If you hit 30 repeaters in either the 2m or 70cm bands, you get double points for all those contacts on that band. If you hit all of the repeaters in a given club, we double all those points too (for example, all three PSRG repeaters in the contest). Finally, if you activate at least 80 different repeaters, we double your full score. This is a big one, and will be hard to achieve, but well worth it !

Can I stay on the same repeater the whole contest ?
: Yes ! You can "run a repeater", like running a frequency during an HF contest. You can make contacts with different people, helping them activate that repeater. Some folk will move between machines, and some will stay put. A strategy that mixes the two will probably win out, in terms of points.
