OK, rules will be up in due time but the basic concept is this.
1 point per contact if your station is in your shack.
2 points if you are on your patio / deck, antenna maybe your normal antenna but the operating position is not in your shack.
2 points if mobile,
3 points if portable in a park, antenna maybe mounted to your vehicle
4 points if your are portable with antenna not mounted to your vehicle, a POTA or SOTA.
Thinking the weekend of Aug 10-11.

I would suggest being as inclusive as possible, which is a theme echoed here on WWDX by many. From that starting position, two points: (1) limiting the contest to mobiles and portables is unnecessary given the well-thought-out point system you've designed; and (2) a parallel contest should be run on CB.
Just my .02.
Good luck and thanks for the effort.

Main motive is to get people out of the shack in the summer, hence the point system as motivation to get away from the shack.

Oh by the way that old Kenwood 2 meter all mode I got from you is in daily service.
I donated it to a disabled ham and he is really enjoying using it.
