#Multipliers

Multipliers are the elements of a contest score that multiply the points from QSOs, for example countries, zones, prefixes or states, depending on the contest. In CQ WW DX they are CQ zones and countries counted per band. Because each multiplier raises the score by a share of the whole, they are often worth far more than an individual QSO. Strategy therefore includes deciding when to run and when to hunt for new multipliers. The articles under this tag explain how to read multipliers per band and per hour, how to find gaps and how to protect multipliers from logging errors.
