The CQ World Wide CW contest is this weekend. If you are working on DXCC, or need band fills, this is a great contest to pack your logbook.
Here is a list of announced operations during the contest. https://www.ng3k.com/Misc/cqc2021.html
SFI is creeping up and the A and K are low. Conditions won't be great but contests seem to make their own propagation.
Exchange is RST (yes, always 5nn, hihi) and CQ zone. Same country contacts are zero points but zones count as multipliers. Make sure you work zones 3, 4, and 5. You can work a call once per band.
If you are learning CW this contest is a great way to study. Strange calls signs come fast and furious. You may not get it the first time. Keep listening to get the full call. Yes some of the speeds are ridiculous.
My goal is 2.5 million points. My contest buddy Jon is recovering from heart surgery and got a bout of COVID as a bonus. He is going to be OK but we worked hard to prep for this contest (added 2nd tower and antenna) and he can't participate. He will be monitoring my score online and praising/flogging as necessary.
