CQWW RTTY contest…coming soon.
Yes folks, it’s coming soon, on the weekend of the 26th and 27th of September 2009, the CQ WW DX RTTY contest - one of the biggest RTTY events in the amateur radio calendar.
As usual there are plenty of dxpeditions or dedicated contest operations to coincide with this event. Of note for me are 3A/HA3JB in Monaco (I still need a QSL card from Monaco even though I worked it many years ago) and ZF2SX on the Cayman Islands, which would be a new one for me.
Add to this the usual crop of less common countries that can be heard during a major contest and it could be an interesting weekend…if I get on the air. I’ll hope for a few hours here and there even if only to try and snag those mentioned above. Fingers crossed the bands are in good shape for this one!
