[CQ-Contest] CQ 160 and Winter Field Day QSOs

[Tim Goeppinger]

Attn CQ 160 Contest participants:

Winter Field Day is one of the fastest growing contests.   There were over 600
participants last year, and with the extra publicity in the December QST, many
more this year!  Here is how you can join the fun on 160m:

Winter Field Day overlaps the CQ 160 Contest for 24 hours this weekend from
1900z Saturday until 1900z Sunday morning.

My club's WFD station in Southern Calif  will be looking for QSOs an 160m, and
we will be giving out combination CQ 160/WFD QSOs.

If you could add a macro for the WFD exchange, it would be appreciated.   I am
sure 99.9% of you are operating 1 transmitter from Home, so that makes you a
1H.      The exchange would be a 1H plus your ARRL Section abbreviation.   For
example "1H NTX".    The section for DX is "DX".  We are in the Outside class,
so expect our exchange to have O (oscar) in it.

Additionally,  compared to ARRL Field Day, this event is really lacking in
CW contacts (only 13%)!   If you could make some CW contacts on 20m, 15m and 40m during
the daylight hours, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks to Tony N0NI who had his macro ready to go last year.

Hope to see you in CQ 160/WFD this weekend on 160m!

Tnx & 73
