CQ WPX RTTY This Weekend!

 

Hi All,

CQ WPX RTTY is this weekend and runs 0000 UTC Saturday to 2359 UTC Sunday!

CQ WPX is really cool!? Everyone can work everyone for points and multipliers, so you don't need a robust DX station to make a lot of Qs.? In addition to DX, there will be plenty of stateside stations to work too!?

The exchange is just 599 and a progressive serial number.? Multipliers are simply prefixes.? For example, W3, N3, NE3, WC3, K3, KA3, KB3, etc. are each separate prefixes that each count as multipliers.

You'll find the complete rules here:

https://www.cqwpxrtty.com/rules.htm

And the logging software for this contest (which takes care of the serial numbers for you automatically) here:

https://www.n3fjp.com/cqwpx.html

Several free digital programs that interface with our software are here:

If you need sample macros for your digital software, this will get you going:

Please install and connect your digital software to our CQ WPX software?early this week?as detailed here:

https://www.n3fjp.com/help/digitalsetup.html

Getting the software set up is easy and we are happy to help before the contest starts, but once we are in contest mode, the support hat comes off!!!??

Lord willing, I am hoping to bring a good effort for this one and work you on RTTY this weekend!

Enjoy!!!

? ?How does it do the automatic serial #??
?
I thought the only way was using <CNTR> & <LOG> <INCR> in fldigi macros.
?
When I log both S/Ns are recorded.
?
BTW ?Someone told me you could use a SINGLE number! The contest software simply checks it against the receivers decode of it.?

Hi Bo,

Thanks for your e-mail.? I can't speak to how FLDigi internally retrieves the next serial to send, but N7YG Digital Engine reads it right from our CQ WPX log.? The Macros I use with N7YG Digital Engine are here:


I also have a file of my macros at the page above that you can import right in to Digital Engine and then modify as needed, rather than having to start from scratch.

I suspect other FLDigi users here will be able to provide more insights on that program, but if not, there will certainly be more specific help on the FLDigi users group.

Enjoy!
