BCQP is fully supported by N1MM contest logging software, CQ/X GPS-enabled software for mobile contesting, and N3FJP state QSO party logging programs. Any software that creates a Cabrillo log is OK but the content MUST show the required information. See the rules for details.

BCQP runs in two segments: 12 hours on Saturday and eight hours on Sunday. The segments are NOT split by mode. Operate PH and/or CW as you wish, on one day or both during the designated blocks of time. Everyone can work all 20 hours of the contest or a few hours on Saturday and a few hours on Sunday, or just Saturday or just Sunday. Completely up to each person. There is no required off-time, but there can be NO activity during the gap between the 12-hour block on Saturday and the eight-hour block on Sunday.
