This is a great weekend for working a lot of foreign stations whether you collect countries or not. A lot of stations will be on the air from all over the world starting at 7 pm CST on Friday till 6:59 pm on Sunday.
Most of the foreign stations will have big antennas and great operators who can pick out weak signals. So, give them a call and send them a simple 59 04 exchange. 59 is the RS and 04 is our CQ zone. You can read the instructions at this web site http://www.cqww.com/rules.htm . The contest runs for two days. Come Sunday, a lot of the big stations will be looking to work new stations. So, even if you don't have a good antenna, give them a call. If you hear them, they will most likely hear you. Europe should be open for us during daylight hours on 15 and 20 meters. Try South America in the afternoon on 10 meters. Asia opens up for us in the evening hours on 15 and 20 meters. 40 and 80 meters are great for night time operation. If you want to keep a log and compete in this contest, contact me or N5XZ or K5HM if you need help with logging programs. AC Log has a low cost version that you can purchase. 73 and have fun working the world this weekend. Get on the 10 meter net at 8 pm tonight on 28.488 MHz if you need more information. Nizar K0NM.
