Hello all,
?
This weekend is the CQ WPX SSB contest, which starts today (Friday) at 5:00pm local time and runs until 4:59pm on Sunday. This is a great contest to get on the air and make a lot of QSOs, because you aren't limited to only working DX stations. You can work as many USA stations as you'd like.
?
The exchange for this contest is 59 and an ascending serial number starting at 1. So your first contact would be "59 number 1", your second contact "59 number 2", etc.
?
Multipliers are prefixes (hence the WPX in the contest name), so KN6, K6, AI6, W6, etc. would all count as new multipliers.
?
If you plan on submitting a log, make sure you also enter one of the Overlay categories if you qualify: Tribander/Single Element Antennas, Classic (24 hours or less), Rookie, or Youth.

Since USA stations are fair game, I hope to work some of you on the low bands!
?
Have fun!
