[CQ-Contest] WANTED: DX Entrants for the Arizona QSO Party 2016!

[Default]

While plenty of DX was worked during the 2015 Arizona QSO Party, there 
were NO entrants in the DX category!  It's a shame to see a plaque going 
unawarded.  Propagation willing, send in your entries for this year's 
AZQP.  Who knows, you may receive a nice wall hanging!

Announcement below.
