OK ADXA Folks - tonight starting at 6:00 PM is the ARRL International DX Contest - CW.

Get in there and work some DX and send in a log. Indicate your club as "Arkansas DX Assn" so we can be part of the club competition. I just uploaded a current membership list to ensure we have everyone included. Even if you only work 5 stations, send in a log for ADXA!!! Even if you can't copy CW, put forth an effort to make one contact and send in a log! Doing so will permit the ADXA BIG GUNS to honor you by placing a CW star on your "Man Card" for making a CW contact!

To be specific, our club name on the Club Competition is listed as "Arkansas DX Assn" so use the abbreviation for association. When I updated the membership list it barfed when I tried to spell out association. Don't know if it will do the same with a log so just FYI.

Remember, USA/VE stations work only DX stations for credit. Your exchange is sig report and state, so 599 AR or for our Memphis members 599 TN (Yes you are in our radius and included). You don't like sending "599" when the station is "339"??? GET OVER IT and move on. Its a contest, not a political forum.

I have about 4 hours of real work this morning then will be walking down the RX antennas this afternoon (in the mud following our rain) and getting ready to go.

Let me hear you in those pileups and GET IN THERE AND WORK 'EM!!
