[SMCARA] Lots of DX this weekend

[Tom Shelton]

The CQ World-Wide DX (SSB) contest is going on this weekend.  If you hear a
station you'd like to work, your report is a signal report (in a contest,
always 59) and your CQ Zone (for Maryland, its 5) - so you would copy their
report - RS and zone - and give your report - 59 5.

 

Attention Techs here's what I heard and worked on 10 meters - yesterday from
mid-morning to late afternoon the Caribbean was open all day.  Europe and
Africa were coming in strong from the mid-morning to the early afternoon.
North and South America were good for a few hours either side of noon, and
the Pacific was strong from the mid-afternoon to the early evening.  Be
careful as you get close to your band-edges (28.3 - 28.5 MHz).  Also,
remember that the club station at the museum is available to you from noon
until 5 today - also note that the museum has started to charge a fee (on
the honor system) for entry (Adults $5, Students $3, Seniors 65+ $3, under 6
and PRNAMA members - free).
