The ARRL International DX Contest - CW is this weekend, actually starting at 6:00 PM local time tonight (0000z Feb 18).

USA to USA contacts do not count for points, only USA to DX. The exchange for USA stations is the report and state, e.g. 599 AR. DX stations will send a report and their power, e.g. 599 400 or 599 1k, etc.

There will be a lot of CW DX on the bands 160 thru 10 meters so get in there and pick up a few new ones on CW, or maybe and all time new one.

Rules are posted here: http://www.arrl.org/arrl-dx

My contest effort will be simple and casual. Too many other things going on this weekend.
