Default 2012 CQ World-Wide WPX Contest. SSB (Amateur)

The 2012 CQ World-Wide WPX Contest. SSB is this weekend. Your chance
to hear or contact those rarely heard countries. 12 and 15 meters
daytime have been best. I contacted Tunisia on 15 meters and South
Cook Islands on 12 meters today. Check the DX Summit or DX Cluster for
listings of stations on the air.

I thought there were to be no contests on the WARC bands,
kinda makes you wanna go do a little jamming, eh?


You are correct: No contesting allowed on the WARC bands...but he did
NOT say that the 12 meter station was in the contest.

No *contest* stations would be on the WARC bands because when you sent
your log in the log checkers would bounce it a mile high. To say nothing
of the fact that 99.99999999% of the hams know there is no contesting
allowed on the WARC bands and would not be trying to run the contest on
those bands in the first place.
