We are now less than 48 hours from the start of the 2011 WPX CW Contest. There may be a small chance of 'cloudiness' in the solar forecast, but not enough dampen our spirits. Looking for lots of activity and new records again this year. Rules in 14 languages: http://www.cqwpx.com/rules.htm Results from previous years: http://www.cqwpx.com/results.htm 67 plaques up for grabs: http://www.cqwpx.com/plaques.htm All-time records by world, continent, country, and call area: http://www.cqwpx.com/records.htm When the contest is over, please use the new web form for log submission. http://www.cqwpx.com/logcheck/ You can upload your log, have it checked for formatting and all necessary header info, make corrections, and then submit directly to the robot. It's the perfect way to avoid robot anxiety. Even if you can't operate the full contest, get on the air for as much as you can. Please submit your log. It shows CQ Magazine how much we appreciate the contest and it helps the log checking. A few hints: Watch those dits. Letters like S, H, and 5, or V and 4, or B and 6, are often miscopied. Copy the serial numbers. Need motivation? Go to the score database (http://www.cqwpx.com/scorescw.htm?yr=ALL <http://www.cqwpx.com/scorescw.htm?yr=ALL&mode=CW> &mode=CW ), select your country and call area, then work your way up the scores. Always feels good when you pass another score on the list. 73 and good contesting!
