The CQ WW contest season opens this weekend with the RTTY mode.  The
following practice sessions provide an opportunity to check out equipment,
software, operator, etc.:
 
Thursday, 21 September, 2200-2230z
Friday, 22 September, 0300-0330z
 
Use whichever bands work for you at each time slot.  Use regular contest
messages and be prepared to have someone alert you that the contest starts a
day later.
 
Rules are available at  <http://www.cqwwrtty.com/rules.htm%20> 
http://www.cqwwrtty.com/rules.htm in English and
several other languages thanks to a number of volunteer translators.
 
MixW users please note the instructions at
 <http://www.cqwwrtty.com/logs.htm#MixW_Notes> 
http://www.cqwwrtty.com/logs.htm#MixW_Notes which explain how to setup the
logger prior to the contest so that a proper Cabrillo formatted log file
can be created after the contest.
 
Submit your log using the web tool at  <http://www.cqww.com/logcheck/%20> 
http://www.cqww.com/logcheck/ which
checks your log format in real-time for convenient and quick fixes, as
needed, before submitting to the log server for you.
 
Have Fun!
