I worked G1A (UK Young Contesters) during the CQ WPX CW contest a couple of weekends ago and wanted to send for a QSL card. The QRZ page said it was coming soon so I emailed the QRZ admin contact and he indicated that for the 2009 CQ WPX CW contest, the QSL Manager for G1A is M0DXR. M0DXR’s QRZ page indicates QSL via the bureau is fine.

As mentioned in my CQ WPX CW Contest Summary, I logged a new DXCC thanks to GJ3WW in the entity of Jersey. Well last night it looks like G3WW uploaded his contacts for his contest call and I have a new one confirmed!

I was just casually listening on the radio and doing other things when I noticed a DX cluster spot for a RTTY station. I tried to find that station, which I didn’t, but I did find a station calling CQ Triple Play NJ and some other states so I came back to him. It was KA7HUO in Montana. You can never find a MT station when you need one and here there was actually looking for NJ. Go figure!
Thanks for the contact Jess and good luck on the Triple Play Award.

Honey, I found an antenna that I’m sure with some shrubs and plants, no one would even notice I put it up!

This past weekend I was able to operate in the 2009 CQ WPX CW Contest. I again used the computer to assist in the decoding and sending of morse code. For the contest I was able to make a total of 409 contacts. Those contacts cover 25 of the 40 CQ zones and 67 unique DXCC entities. I was able to log one new DXCC which is Jersey, an island located just off the north east coast of France.
I was also able to log 2 New Zealand stations which were coming in nice and loud and came back to my the first time I put my call out to each. I also logged 4 Japan stations.

http://www.levinecentral.com/ham/grid_square.php has been updated to add in the ability to specify a 4 or 6 character grid locator and show it on the map (Thanks K2DBK for the suggestion).
I also added in the ability to clear the form and if a call sign is entered it links to the QRZ page for that call.
The specifics of the page are in the last post – New and improved Maidenhead Grid Square Locator
