Most of my early DXing was done in contests. It’s usually easy to work DXCC in one weekend, although Covid has held the numbers down the last couple of years too. 

Remember, even small logs help club score. We finished mid pack last year, which was great for a club with no multi op stations.

This weekend, beginning at 0000 UTC February 19 (6:00 PM local time Friday evening), is the ARRL International DX Contest - CW. It will run for 48 hours, ending Sunday evening at 2359 UTC (5:59 PM local time).

Bands are 160-10 (NO 30, 17,12 meters) and, obviously, CW. If 10 meters remains "hot" this should be an exciting weekend and excellent opportunity to pick up some new ones on the band.

One bit of info about this DX contest. Contacts with other USA/VE stations does not count for anything, so if you call a USA/VE station you may get ignored or worked rather quickly to "get you out of the way"!!! Only USA/VE contacts with DX stations count toward the contest score.

Of course, if you have no interest in a contest, get on and work some DX. The DX station will appreciate the Q!

Focus on the DX!
