Hi Guys,<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>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 <u>per band,</u> 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.<br><br>

about it? Who plans to be on, and what category?<br><br>
