Tom, good luck with your DXCC.  On another topic, I found out 
that if you are using a battery if the battery was charged only 
with a solar panel you get more points than if you are using a  
battery that was charged from the power grid.  I just heard that 
a couple days ago so can't vouch for the voracity of that.  Jim

Jim:

Point values are uniform, irrespective of the classification of 
the station
worked.  They will vary by mode, though.  For example, phone 
contacts are
worth 1 point, while CW and digital are worth 2.

All you need for the contest exchange is your station 
classification, and
ARRL section.
