Bob,

You can work anyone, including DX stations. They are not "out of
bounds." In fact, each new country you work is a multiplier.

- Canada, Mexico, and USA stations will send you RST+their state or province.
- Other DX stations will send you RST+serial number.
- You send the same exchange (RST+your state) to all of them, no
matter where they are or what they send you.

That's all there is to it :-)

Please see the full rules here:

If I hit a DX contact, let’s say South Africa if I’m pointing south, for example, they would return a serial number if they are participating in the contest and want to help. If they contact me, however, I don’t need to give them a serial number because they are out of the contest bounds?
