Dunno, Jim.

Would have to check the Field Day rules for clarification  on that point.

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 WA6EKS

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.
