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 fifteen valid QSO
                                                                  with stations from at least three DXCC entities.
                                                 For the PRCC  rankings, each competitor's score is calculated as follows:
          The scores obtained in the competitions in which the contestant participated are added together,
              and the result is multiplied by the number of those competitions and then divided by ten.                                                                     
           PRCC score = [(PDC score +PSC score + PCC score) x (number of competitions: two or three)] / 10
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] / 10 = 2,865,000 / 10 = 286,500                       
           I recommend that, over the course of a calendar year, competitors take part in these contests in the sub-categories of the same category
from among the three listed below (M, SO and C&T) and that this ranking be drawn up after the conclusion of the PCC in December.   .
                           (For example for category M : at PDC at subcategory M-RTTY, at PSC at M-20 and at PCC at M-HP) or                                                                
                                                 for category SO : at PDC at subcategory SO-FT4, at PSC at SO-LP and at PCC at SO-80).
      Contestants taking part in subcategories from both categories (M and SO) will be considered to belong to the M category.
