Multiply CW + phone points by Power Level multiplier to determine CONTACT POINTS.

WISCONSIN STATIONS: Multiply CONTACT points by the sum of Wisconsin
counties (max. 72), plus states (max. 50) plus Canadian provinces (max. 13)
worked. Note: DX countries worked count for QSO points but not as multipliers.

NON-WISCONSIN STATIONS: Multiply CONTACT points by the number of Wisconsin 
counties worked (max.72). Note: Only Wisconsin contacts count.

BONUS:  WISCONSIN MOBILES/PORTABLES: Add 500 bonus points for each county
        that you operate from, outside your home county, with a minimum of
        12 QSOs per county to qualify.
