Hi Gary

The problem is the WPX is a rate contest and most of
the serious stations are calling CQ. The other problem
is there are a lot of prefixes in this contest so the single
op has little incentive to search them out.

Here's what to do:

Wait until late Sunday to operate. If no other WG7 prefix
has been active you will be swapped by the M/M, M/S
stations after the first spot. And they will be loud, tired
and hungry.

Good luck.
