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
