[WriteLog] VOLTA Scoring

Sat May 14 14:44:46 PDT 2011

Seems to be the Italian way of doing things. I have 94 Q's and 7,242,136 
points! Wow, am I good or what? Actually the secret is in the way the 
points are calculated. Per the rules: "Total exchange points multiplied by 
the total number of multiplier(s) multiplied by the the total number of 
QSOs. {[Points x Multipliers x QSOs = Final score]." So this contest 
actually uses TWO multipliers - the country multiplier which is then 
multiplied by the numbers of QSOs. I think this is why, in pre-Euro days, a 
cup of coffee in Italy cost about 10 million Lire!
