Just a heads up that the CQ WW DX Contest (SSB) is happening next 
weekend (Oct 26-27).
This is an excellent opportunity to work DX, even with a modest station.

See the rules here:??? https://cqww.com/rules.htm

The required exchange is signal report (always 59) and CQ Zone (Zone 4 
for Colorado).

HF conditions continue to be good, so propagation should be worldwide.
Technicians can get on 10m SSB and work the world.
