You can edit or reply to your own thread, using it as your log throughout the contest. The format is attached as an Excel file. It may be an excel attachment OR pasted into your thread. At the end of the contest, the contacts forum will be locked, so make sure you upload all of your contacts before the end date/time.

Make sure you clearly designate these in your log

• This is an "on your honor" contest and intended to be fun. Please play by the rule.

GG, I heard plenty of Europe this AM, the NE and NW this afternoon, and the World Wide group all over at S9 or better the entire day, so DX is working, but I've not heard one WDX member yet, and I've about twisted the channel knob off on my 2547.

I've made plenty of contacts too.

I figure with 10 call frequencies...and maybe 10 members working the contest...we stand about a 1% chance we will ever be on at the same place at the same time.

Skip is pretty strong today, busting through at 12 watts has been challenging. I am hanging on .395 today - tomorrow the World Radio club will be doing check-in, will drop to .375 (admittedly I am bouncing between .395 and .375 tdoay)
 
thanks for checkin in guys, I am standing by and calling....had great conditions earlier as Marconi mentioned, but the snow is moving in here now. I will be roaming the freq's and continue trying to give you some contacts.
