Good morning contesters!

What is the world's largest radio contest that takes place during the last
weekend of October, attracting more than 40,000 participants? You guessed
it -- the CQ WW! As you may have noticed, band conditions are rapidly
improving. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the current solar bounty
will last through the weekend.

I also want to remind you of two new additions to this year's contest.

First, there is the new YOUTH overlay. If you're 25 or under, you will have
a special place in the CQ WW contest, including the opportunity to receive
one of 14 new plaques that have been sponsored just for you. Whether you're
25 or 85, spread the word. Let's show the world that the Youth movement in
contesting is alive and well!

Finally, we also have created a new EXPLORER category designed to allow
experimenters to be creative in their technical approach to the CQ WW with
relaxed rules and a sandbox to compete against others with similar
interests. For more information, check out: <https://cqww.com/explorer.htm>.

No matter what category you enter, be sure to have fun! I hope to hear many
of you this coming weekend!
