______________________________________________________________This weekend is the CQWW DX Contest - Phone, the largest DX phone contest in the world. It begins at 0000z Saturday (that is 7 PM Friday night local) and ends at 2359z Sunday (6:59 PM local Sunday). If you're looking to pick up a new one on the HF bands, excluding 30, 17 and 12 meters, here's your chance! There will be a ton of DX stations on the air. Obviously, you do NOT have to be a contest participant to jump in and grab a new one or just make some Q's to check out that new antenna, rig or shack arrangement you worked on all summer (you DID have a summer radio project, didn't you?).
The contest exchange is a signal report and your CQ Zone. In Arkansas we are located in CQ Zone 4, so the exchange you would send is 59 4 (Five nine zero four). Contest participants (even US stations) welcome and really want you to contact them. If you do want to jump in and participate in the contest the contest rules are located here:
The majority of DX contest stations upload their log to LoTW so obtaining confirmation should be easy.
GL in the contest OM, or in grabbing a new one this weekend!
