The ARRL DX CW contest is a DX contest. I would not chose this event to work someone in my own country, it is unlikely that the QSO will be logged.

But CQ 160 CW Contest coming up in two weeks is an excellent venue to finish those Topband WAS quests. Also the ARRL CW DX contest in mid February. GL 73 George W8UVZ James Bennett schreef op 1/9/2015 om 6:50 PM: Hi folks - I'm trying to complete my WAS on 160 and need a confirmed QSO with anyone in the following five states: LA, MS, SC, WV, VT. I run an Elecraft K3/KPA500 into an Inverted L with a K2AV-designed FCP under it. Got a limited amount of real estate so I can't lay out much in the line of radials of receiving antennas, but. I have been able to easily work into the Canadian Maritime provinces (plus the remainder of the New England states), so I know I can hit those states. Problem is that I've never heard anyone from there on Top Band! So - if you can get on some evening while we have relatively good propagation, I'd love to arrange a schedule. If we connect I can QSL via LoTW or direct with my card and an SASE. Thanks, Jim / W6JHB Folsom, CA _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
