[CQ-Contest] CQWWWPX

[ktfrog007 at aol.com]

The WPX contests are my favorites.  Everyone works everyone.  You never run out of mults.  It's fast paced.  You can get a sense of how folks are doing from the serial number.  Even the SSB contest is fun.  It's even fun for nth tier stations like mine.



My only problem is my logger never knows the incoming serial number in advance, unlike the WW contests where the logger knows all.  Surely this can be fixed.  Right?

In the WPX, there are LOTS and LOTS of prefixes to the point where even at
the end of the contest, when running, you work a new mult every 3-5 QSO's

Pick a call, own it, and away you go.
Even if you are the only station on with that prefix, there will be lots of
folks that also have unique prefixes...
