Hi all, I should have sent this yesterday, but it’s not too late to get in on the action: It’s the CQ WPX CW weekend. This is one of the best contests of the year in which to work some new countries, test your antennas, try a new rig, etc. 20 meters, in particular, is really hopping.
The exchange is simple; just <RST> <sequenceNumber> (starting with ‘1’). Full rules here: http://www.cqwpx.com/rules.htm This is a great contest for QRP, because all of the big-gun contest stations worldwide are using their high-gain antenna arrays (which help with signal strength on both ends). I was out hiking using the KX2 and the AX1 20/17 meter whip prototype (4’ long) today. Made about 10 contacts in 10 minutes with 10 watts (parallelism not intended :) Best DX was Uruguay. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
