[LCC] WPX contest

[Mark Ketchell]

Hi Guys,
         The CQ WPX contest (SSB weekend) is upon us. Starting at 00:00 
Saturday, Friday night, locally, and running for 48 hours (single ops can 
go a max of 36). There ARE some rule changes this year, so be sure to visit 
the sponsor's website, cqwpx.com , to check them out. This one does not 
support team competition, but does promote club comp, so as always, be sure 
your cabrillo file has "Louisiana Contest Club" in the appropriate line. 
There are several categories to choose from, and the exchange is easy - 
signal report and serial number. This is also called the prefix contest. 
Each unique prefix, K5, WA5, WB5, AA5, etc., is a new multiplier. You can 
also work everyone once per band, so you are likely to hear lots of 
requests to "qsy another band?". Contacts vary in point value based on 
location AND band, so the scores can go really high. With US able to work 
everybody, it should be an opportunity for some good runs and lots of fun.

         So how about it? Who plans to be on, and what category?

call            category        bands           how much
K5ER            SOHP            ALL             full time


Mark, K5ER
