Big multi-mode HF contest of the summer is this weekend 1200z 14 Jul – 1200z 15 Jul (just 24 hrs) as Pat NG1G mentioned in an earlier post.  Simple exch of RS(T) and ITU zone (W1 is in ITU Zone 8); work domestic and DX stns; use SSB, CW or both (mixed-mode)…have fun and make some QSOs!

Solar flux level remains quite high and sunspots have been up lately so give the bands a try.  Additional contest info can be found here:  http://www.arrl.org/iaru-hf-championship   including an ITU zone map.

73 & good contesting… Bill  W1WBB
