I’m usually not one to work the big contests, but there are some advantages to participating, even if you don’t have a lot of time or plan to submit a log. One of the advantages is that there are a lot of countries on, and you can add to total of countries that you’ve worked.
This weekend was the CQ WPX CW contest. I only operated for about three hours, the bands were kind of lousy on Saturday, and I only worked 15 meters, but even so, I managed to add eight countries to the WA2HOM log. They include:
- HK1R – Colombia
- SZ1A – Greece
- 6W/RK4FF – Senegal
- HQ9R – Honduras
- EF8M – Canary Islands
- J7A – Dominica
- J39BS – Grenada
- HC2SL – Ecuador
It’s nothing real exotic, but new ones nonetheless.
