All the stations in the world (AT and non AT) are invited to participate. The participants will divide themselves in 3 (three) different categories:
Category - AT American stations
Category - non AT American stations
Category - stations outside America (AT and non AT)
Only "Single Operator" modality will be allowed.

Objectives and Score
American stations' (A and B Categories) objective will be to contact the biggest quantity of participant stations; while the stations of the rest of the world (C Category) must contact the biggest quantity of American stations. The score of each participant will be calculated as it follows:
A Category
10 points for each American country
1 point for each valid contact
Note: The contacts between stations from same countries will be considered as valid.
B Category
10 points for each American country.
1 point for each valid contact.
1 point for each AT American station contacted.
Note: The contacts between stations from same countries will be considered as valid.
C Category
10 points for each American country
1 point for each valid contact
1 point for each AT American station contacted.
Note: In this category only the contacts made with American stations will be considered as valid.
Tie break: It can be held between two or more participant stations. The winner station will be the one that managed to get all the contacts (and so the score) in the shorter period of time (first to last contact).
