OK ....that's two arm-chair contesters who don't know when CQWW SSB is.
It is NOT this weekend. It is October 30-31. See http://www.cqww.com for
details.
Of course, if you want to try CQWW this weekend, that's perfectly fine -
less QRM for me to deal with on 15 and 20 on October 30-31.

Steve, N2IC
