CQ WPX this weekend
Ka6bim
Just a reminder we have the CQ WPX SSB contest his weekend. It looks like there will be a lot of DX activity. So get on and work some countries. Also since this is SSB, there are no robots spotting us so please spot any club members that you run across. Spots really help to pick up the rate. So spot often if you are S&P. Also spot any juicy DX you find. I treat this as a DX contest not just WPX Note Self Spotting is NOT allowed for this contest.
Get on and rack up some points for the club, both for the PNW competition, but Marathon as well.

And a K index of 7, with a G4 storm.
Fingers crossed.

We’ll be using the WM7A callsign this weekend, with W7VO again on the VOTA station.

Let’s all bow our collective heads and pray the propagation gods settle down, or it’ll be a long weekend, especially on the low bands. Maybe the club needs to sacrifice a FT8 equipped computer by tossing one from the top of K2PO’s tower before the test to appease them. 🤔
GL in the test!

We will be on as N7DUX this afternoon.
Trying to expose some new hams to DXing and contesting.
