In addition to EI5DI's SD, the organizers recommend N1MM Logger. We do
not yet have a contest definition for this one, but you can use N1MM
Logger's DXSerial contest, entering the serial number received in the
appropriate place, and the province designator (when working a Chinese
station) in the Comment field. It won't score the contest for you but
will generate a Cabrillo file for submission to the organizers.
For those who savor such things, the list of provinces includes Taiwan.

Working China?
Well, I am a relative novice to DXing with a temporary antenna in a poor
location (mountains all around) and only 100 watts (which mostly heat the
mountains, I imagine!), but 01 Oct I worked BD4FM on 28012.1, CW. The signal
was weak but steady and I just picked it out of the band while no one else was
calling them--afterward things got busier for them!
The station is listed as using LoTW and eQSL, but I thought "sure!--doubt it!"
and didn't hope for much, but miracle of miracles--just to make me out as of little
faith!--tonight I have their confirmation on LoTW!!!
I live in Hidalgo, Mexico, 70 mi north of Mexico City about lined up with
Dallas, Texas, and in such a bad area that I am sure if _I_ can work them,
EVERYONE can!
I also worked BX4AG (from Taiwan) just 10 minutes before, but they don't list
any QSL info so I suppose by Bureau.
Anyway, to the subject--I hope to find info on the contest because I want to
get in on it now that I know I can at least work a few stations!
73 and good luck,
Scott XE1/AA0AA; AA0AA

Chinese ops are on almost 24/7 on freq of 14.270 plus or minus 10kc. If
you can not hear any China in that freq range, likely that time of
day/night is not good for that path. Their frequent operations are like a
beacon in that they are on the air so much, but mostly at that spot on the
dial.
How easy is it to work China from the United States? I remember working
BV1US (in Taiwan) from Denver back in the 50's, with 500 watts AM, and a
W8JK beam but haven't been a serious DXer since then.
