The ARRL Phone Sweepstakes contests is this weekend. It will start
tomorrow, Saturday, at 2100z which is 3:00 PM local time and runs
through 9:00 PM local Sunday night. 

So, Joel, this is not DX so why mentioned it? Well, maybe you DO need
the USA on a band or two.....check your records to make sure you aren't
missing an easy one! Other than that, I know some of you are also
chasing WAS, 5BWAS or a Triple Play WAS. This is an EXCELLENT contest to
grab some states you need and if CW or digital is not your bag here is a
great phone contest. The exchange is unique so brush up on that. Also be
aware that you can only work a station one time regardless of the band
so if you work a very rare W5ZN in Arkansas on 80 meters you cannot work
that station on 40 meters, or any other band, during the contest so
you'll need to find another station for a state you may need on multiple
bands. The link to the rules are here:
