CQ World Wide WPX Contest
Its that time of year again, the bands will be jumping with stations from all over the world. CW WW WPX is nearly here; the SSB contest will take place on Marth 28th & 29th. Even if you are not a "contester", this is still a great operunity to work some rarer stations and to give some points away, you never know you might just win your section! All the major bands will be used from 160m - 10m (excluding WARC of course). The exchange is the usual RST + Serial number, so 59 001 for your first contact, 59 002 for the second and so on. remarkably 99% of the contacts you hear will be 59, mostly a side effect of not having the time to look at the S meter. Since there is no standard for S-meter calibration, the report is somwhat pointless anyway - but that's a whole different topic!
