If you are planning for next contest season's calendar already, here are
some things to think about. The following ARRL/RAC section records are
unclaimed (no station has ever before entered these categories from these
sections):
RI SO MIX QP
WMA SO MIX QP
NNY SO SSB HP, SO CW HP, and M/S
WPA SO MIX QP
KY SO MIX QP
SC SO MIX QP
AR SO MIX QP
MS SO MIX QP
WTX SO SSB QP
EB SO SSB QP
PAC SO CW QP
SDG SO CW QP
SF SO SSB QP
ID SO SSB QP
NV SO SSB QP
UT SO SSB QP
NE SO MIX QP, SO CW QP
ND SO CW QP
SD SO MIX QP, SO CW QP
MAR SO SSB QP, SO CW QP
NL SO MIX QP, SO SSB QP, SO CW QP
QC SO MIX QP
MB SO MIX QP, SO SSB QP, SO CW QP
SK SO SSB QP
NT SO MIX QP, SO SSB QP, SO CW QP, SO CW LP
As you can see, most of these unclaimed records are in the QRP power
categories. If you live in one of these sections, you might want to
talk up the 10 Meter Contest among your local QRP groups. Sign up to talk
about the contest at one of their club meetings in the fall. Persuade them
that five watts on 10 meters can be a lot more effective than five watts on the
other HF bands. There cannot be many other large HF contests that are better
suited for QRP.

Among DX locations, the following are all the DXCC entities from

of these locations, there is an unclaimed contest record in your

for the first time ever.
