Alex,

One the the most useful tools out there is the
Google search engine.  It is like an encyclopedia
at your fingertips.

Assuming that you use a Web browser, go over to
http://www.google.com . (Wrong spelling of
googol, but what the heck, computer people can't
spell. :-)

Enter a phrase for the search you need, and pages
(literally) of excerpts of articles should appear,
together with links (URLs).  Click your mouse on
those links and the browser would bring you to the
individual articles.

Sometimes the links are in PDF or PostScript forms,
in which case, your browser might download them to
your machine's hard drive and then open the file up
with a different application (Acrobat, GhostScript,
whatever).

I just did a search for "W6ZX" and Google brought up
more than ten pages of links!  Give it a whirl, Alex.
Alas, W7AY gives just a few links :-).

You can "narrow" the search by using phrases
like "W6ZX contest" "W6ZX RTTY DX" and so on.

Using the phrase "DXCC most wanted countries" also
brought up more than ten pages worth of links.
