1. Work 50 pairs of county names, in different states, for a total of 100 contacts on OMISS net frequencies and net times. For example, ESSEX, MA and ESSEX, NJ would be 1 pair of counties / 2 contacts.
2. County names must be exactly the same spelling. Also, if a county such as "Johnson" is worked in two different states and then you work it again in a 3rd and 4th state, you can use the 3rd and 4th instances as a new pair of twin counties.
3. Johnson County would appear on your log sheet 4 times, but in 4 different states.
4. Triples may not be used: If you have 3 of a county name, you would have to wait until you worked a 4th of that county to make a 2nd pair. Stations worked must be OMISS members and they may be fixed, portable, or mobile.
5. All contacts made with OMISS members on OMISS Nets are valid.
