   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.
