CQ WW DX CW Nov. 26
« on: November 21, 2022, 05:51:35 AM »

This weekend is the CQ WW DX contest, CW. Nov. 26-27, 0000UTC Saturday through 2359UTC Sunday.

I. OBJECTIVE: For amateurs around the world to contact as many other amateurs in as many CQ zones and countries as possible.

II. BANDS: Six bands only: 1.8, 3.5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz. Observance of established band plans is strongly encouraged.

III. CONTEST EXCHANGE: SSB: RS report plus CQ Zone number of the station location (e.g., 59 05). CW: RST report plus CQ Zone (e.g., 599 05).

IV. SCORING:

A. Score: The final score is the result of the total QSO points multiplied by the sum of zone and country multipliers. Example: 1000 QSO points * (30 Zones + 70 Countries) = 100,000 (final score).

B. QSO Points: Stations may be contacted once on each band. QSO points are based on the location of the station worked.

Contacts between stations on different continents count three (3) points.
Contacts between stations on the same continent but in different countries count one (1) point. Exception: Contacts between stations in different countries within the North American boundaries count two (2) points.
Contacts between stations in the same country have zero (0) QSO point value, but count for zone and country multiplier credit.
C. Multiplier: There are two types of multipliers.

Zone: A multiplier of one (1) for each different CQ Zone contacted on each band. The CQ Worked All Zones rules are the standard.
Country: A multiplier of one (1) for each different country contacted on each band. The DXCC entity list, Worked All Europe (WAE) multiplier list plus IG9/IH9, and continental boundaries are the standards for defining country multipliers. Maritime mobile stations count only for a zone multiplier.

This is the "Big One" for CW and DX enthusiasts.

If you're Morse literate, but weak on copying code, use the reverse beacon and spotting networks for the callsigns. Or better - listen to the pileup for a few exchanges and get the rhythm.  The exchange is almost predetermined by the callsign - it's 599 plus a zone so maybe 59914 for much of Europe (as an example).

 Unfortunately I'm working 12 hour days all weekend.

 Have made a paltry 393 QSOs in the short amount of time I have been home. Callsign is KHØW from Zone 27. Operating single band 15 meters................Always enjoyable working the high speed Russian operators!!!
