ARRL International DX Contest (CW)

About this event

Contest Objective: To encourage W/VE stations to expand knowledge of DX propagation on the HF and MF bands, improve operating skills, and improve station capability by creating a competition in which DX stations may only contact W/VE stations. One contest period is CW-only and one is Phone-only.  Use only the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meter bands.

Exchange: W/VE stations send a signal report, and their state or province. DX stations send a signal report and power as a number or abbreviation.
