[ADXA] CQWW CW Contest & ZF5T

[w5znjoel at gmail.com]

A merry band of ADXA folks including KM5G, N5DX and W5ZN are traveling to ZF
today and tomorrow to join K5GO at his ZF5T Multi/Multi contest station for
the biggest and baddest CW DX contest of the year this coming weekend, the
CQ Worldwide DX Contest. Other operators arriving onsite tomorrow include
KO7SS, W9RE, NE9U, K1CC, and K0AP. Operators for 20 meters joining remotely
this weekend include W1VE, VE9AA, W0AAE, and W5SJ.

 

ADXA folks are requested to support your fellow ADXA members and work us on
all HF bands (excluding 30-17-12 meters). The contest begins at 0000z
Saturday (that's Friday night 6:00 PM local time) and runs until 2359z
Sunday (5:59 PM local). The exchange for this contest is signal report and
CQ zone. In Arkansas you are in Zone 4, so 599 4. You may hear what is known
as "cut numbers". For example, 5NN or even ENN for 599 and cut numbers for
the zone like N for zone 9, A4 for zone 14, and AN for zone 19. The ZF5T
station is located in Zone 8.

 

You are also greatly encouraged to "GET IN THERE" and join the fun and work
as many DX stations as possible with your station. There will be TONS of DX
on all the bands and a perfect opportunity for you to increase your DXCC
Mixed and DXCC Challenge totals, your DXCC CW numbers, individual DXCC band
counters, or your WAZ award totals. 

 

*****PLEASE NOTE***** for those of you here at home, working other USA
stations does not add any points to your total or the other USA station's
score outside of the initial zone multiplier only. This is a DX contest so
please do NOT run up and down the bands working USA stations as it is of no
value. For ZF5T, which is not located in the same country, we can work as
many USA stations as possible. The rule states "Contacts between stations in
the same country have zero (0) QSO point value, but count for zone and
country multiplier credit".
