[ADXA] IARU HF World Championship

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

At 1200z (7:00 AM local) The IARU HF World Championship contest will 
fire off for 24 hours, ending at 1200z Sunday (7:00 AM local). This is 
the contest that hosts the World Radio Team Championship (WRTC) every 
four years. This is NOT a WRTC year however activity will still be 
heavy. This is a phone and CW contest (both modes) during the same time 
so there will be a ton of DX on the bands today and tonight (excluding 
30, 17 and 12 meters). The rules can be found here:

Your exchange will be your ITU Zone (NOT your CQ Zone) for those here in 
Arkansas your ITU Zone is 7. You will also hear multipliers given out 
from IARU Member Society stations that will send their member society 
abbreviation. For Example W1AW will give "ARRL" as their report. As IARU 
Secretary and a member of the IARU Administrative Council I will be 
sending "AC" as my report. Each of these are a separate multiplier from 
the "zone" multiplier. A list of IARU members societies from around the 
world and their abbreviates can be found here:

There will most likely be DX on that some of you need for a all time new 
one, or a new one on a specific band. Keep an eye of 15 and 10 meters as 
well and expect some DX there.

You know what to do....GET IN THERE AND WORK 'EM!

And don't forget 6 meters. While not one of the bands included in this 
contest it is still hot!
