Work the World this Weekend During the ARRL International DX Contest
(CW)!
The CW weekend of the ARRL International DX Contest is February
15-16 (UTC). One of the premier events on the contest calendar, this
event aims to encourage participants to expand their knowledge of DX
propagation on the HF and MF bands, and to improve operating skills and
station capability by creating a competition in which DX stations may
only contact stations in the US and Canada.
W/VE amateurs work as many DX stations in as many DXCC entities as
possible on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters DX stations work as many
US and Canadian stations in as many of the 48 contiguous US states and
Canadian provinces as possible.
US and Canadian stations send a signal report and their state or
province abbreviation. DX stations send a signal report and output
power. There are entry categories for individual operators and
multioperator teams as well as a choice of power levels in each category.
Even contest newcomers and low-power or QRP operators will find a
niche in the ARRL International DX Contest. It’s a terrific opportunity
to boost DXCC totals too. The ARRL International DX Contest phone
weekend will take place March 1-2, 2014.
