PRO RADIO CONTEST CLUB AWARDS 2026      
      To be included in this ranking, contestants must participate during a calendar year using the same callsign in at least two of the three contests
      organized by the PRO RADIO CONTEST CLUB, PRO DIGI Contest (in january). PRO-SSB Contest (in november) and PRO CW Contest
          (in december) and in each of these contests, they must make at least 25 valid QSO with stations from at least three DXCC entities.                                                  
                                     The PRCC results for each year are published after the PRO CW CONTEST by December 31.     
                                                             For the PRCC  rankings, each competitor's score is calculated as follows:
    The score from the competitions in which the competitor participated is added up and the result is multiplied by the number of these competitions.      
                                                                      
                                                                                                           The score = (PDC +PSC + PCC) x (2 or 3)
                                For example, if a competitor obtained 25,000 points in the PDC, 350,000 points in the PSC and 580,000 points in the PCC, result will be :
                                                                 PRCC score: (25,000 + 350,000+580,000) x 3 = 955,000 x 3 = 2,865,000  points.
                               
                               During a calendar year, competitors must participate in these competitions in any subcategory of the same category among the
                                    three  below (M, SO and C&T) and this ranking is drawn up after the conclusion of the PCC competition in December.
