[ADXA] Looking for CQWW CW Ops

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

W5ZN will again be active in the CQWW CW DX Contest November 26-27. We 
have operated in a number of categories over the years. Last year was a 
single band 160 entry by me with Dave Patton, NN1N (now KW9A) operating 
here at one of the other op positions with a single band 40 meter entry 
with his callsign.

This year W5ZN will enter in the Multi-Single category. Dave, KW9A 
(x-NN1N) and Mark Obermann, AG9A, will be here with me as operators. I 
am looking for one, maybe two extra ops who could work a shift or two 
during the day on Saturday or Sunday. Now, BEFORE you start jumping up 
and down there are some strict rules. This is NOT an open house for 
guests or visitation. Please do not take this a being rude or belittling 
but this is a serious contest effort so here they are:

1. You must have past experience in a CW contest (understand the concept 
of run -vs- S&P).
2. You must be proficient in CW at 25 to 30 WPM
3. You must be proficient using N1MM logging software (easy to learn if 
you've used others)
4. There are no overnight sleeping accommodations here but several 
hotels 5 miles away in Searcy

For those who were here in 2019 at our open house the station is 
configured differently now, specifically the antenna layout. There is a 
stack of three JK MidTri's for 20/15/10 on one tower, the lower two on 
ring rotors - so all are rotatable. They feed a VA6AM high power 
triplexer so a station could be running on 20, 15, and 10 all at the 
same time. A separate JK MidTri is on a separate tower 210 feet to the 
south on a ring rotor and available for an operating position not 
associated with the stack/triplexer arrangement.

Two 40 meter beams are available. The Moxon at 120' and a 40-2CD at 60 
ft on a ring rotor. Then of course the 80 meter 4 square and 160 meter 
parasitic array are the same.

If interested and meet the above requirements please contact me OFF THE 
REFLECTOR and we'll chat.

Again, there will be no visitor or guest access during the contest 
period. The gates will be closed. For those who have asked we do plan 
another open house sometime in 2023.
