I participated in the CQWW DX CW contest
Last weekend was the CQ Worldwide DX contest CW and I participated on Saturday and Sunday. Again a 48-hour contest so lots of chances to participate between other things in the weekend and getting a good sleep. I was planning to get more contacts in the log but it was a busy weekend and I was tired. But in the end I made 98 contacts which is not too bad for a morse contest. Bands I used were 20 and 40. An overview:Band 160 80 40 20 15 10 QSO's 0 0 62 36 0 0 Cty 0 0 26 12 0 0 Zone 0 0 9 6 0 0 Pts: 132 Mul: 53 Score: 6996For as far as I can tell this has given me a few countries in CW I didn't have before: Corsica, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, North Macedonia, and two new US states: Delaware and Arkansas. Update 2022-05-08: Results are in: 93 valid contacts, 119 qso points, 15 zones, 38 countries, multiplier 53, giving 6307 points.
