Riley, K4ORD called and said the folks operating in the DX Contest were giving 
ITU Zones instead of CQ Zones.  He thought this weekend is the CQ WW DX 
CW Contest, because what is printed in the November Issue of QST is:

           Start & Finish                   Contest Title                        Exchange
22 Nov 0000Z - 23 Nov 2400Z  -  CW World Wide DX CW     RST and CQ Zone

But both the October and November issues of CQ specify:

	Nov 29-30   CQ WW DX CW Contest

The "Sponsor's Web Site" <cqww.com> shows:

	2008 CQWW CW Contest: 0000 UTC, November 29 through 2359 UTC, 
	November 30 

The ARRL web site <www.arrl.org/contests> NOW shows:

	29 Nov 0000Z - 30 Nov 2400Z  for the CQ WW DX CW Contest

So, ARRL has "screwed up" in the QST magazine AGAIN - Hi !

The guy who writes the Contest Corral sure doesn't check his dates.

We finally figured out from the November issue of CQ that this Nov 22-23 weekend is 
is the LZ DX Contest.
