Contests this weekend. 1. EU PSK DX Contest. Worth your time. Work some European DX on PSK 63. The speed will take your breath away. If you have never worked a PSK contest, this will get you interested in something digital besides RTTY. PSK 63 only. Most digital decoders can handle PSK 63. Starts Saturday Morning at 7 AM
2. UN DX Contest. No, not the United Nations. It is UN as in the prefix for Kazakhstan. If you havent worked Kazakhstan, this is your big chance. Both CW and SSB 3. Portuguese Navy Day DX Contest No, you do not have to work the entire Portuguese Navy. This contest is part of Portguese Navy Day celebrations. CW, SSW and digital (RTTY and PSK). Celebrates the arrival of Vasco da Gama in India. Da Gama was the first European to reach India by sea in 1498. Quite a feat, no GPS, and no Holiday Inn. 4. Aegean RTTY Contest Need Greece or some Greek islands. Work them here. 5. His Majesty King of Spain CW - If you dont know it, King Juan Carlos is a ham (EA0JC). You might get lucky while you are working up your code speed 6. Baltic Contest- CW and SSB 80 meters only. Do you need Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia? That s a tought band but you might get lucky!
