[Drew Moore]

Get on the Air for the ARRL International DX Phone Contest this
Weekend: With the 2009 ARRL International DX CW Contest now history
<http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2009/02/11/10644/?nc=1>, the first
full weekend in March brings the next round of competition: The 2009
ARRL DX Phone Contest
<http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2009/intldx.html>. Like its CW
predecessor, this event focuses on DX station working all US states and
Canadian provinces, while US and Canadian amateurs try to work as many
DX countries as possible over the 48 hour contest period. Just as in the
CW contest a couple of weeks ago, US and Canadian stations send a signal
report and their state or province, while DX stations send a signal
report and their transmit power. Remember that for this contest, Alaska
and Hawaii are considered DX stations -- this means stations in KH6 and
KL7 focus their efforts on working Stateside and Canada. The ARRL
International DX Phone Contest runs from 0000 UTC Saturday, March 7 to
2359 UTC Sunday, March 8. Complete rules and forms are available online
<http://www.arrl.org/contests/forms/>. Why let all this DX pass you by?
Get on the air and have some fun!
