ARRL INTERNATIONAL DX CONTEST (SSB) ---> Object of the contest is for W/VE
amateurs to work as many stations in as many DXCC Entities as possible on
160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 metre bands, while DX stations (also including
KH6, KL7, CY9 and CY0) work as many W/VE amateurs in as many of the 48
contiguous states and provinces as possible (complete rules can be found at
www.arrl.org/arrl-dx). This year's event will run from from 00.00 UTC on 5
March through 23.59 UTC on the 6th. Do not forget to give a look at the
Announced Operations listing maintained by Bill, NG3K at
www.ng3k.com/Misc/adxs2016.html - good contest to you all!
CASS AWARD ---> Presented annually, the Cass Award honours the wisdom and
spirit of Cass WA6AUD (SK) and encourages DXpeditions to maximize the
number of DXers worked with a Plaque for the Single-Operator DXpedition
that works the most unique callsigns within a specified interval. The 2015
Cass Award has been won by Jose Murano, LU1FM: "By working 8298 unique
stations during his one-man DXpedition to San Andres as 5J0B, Jose
demonstrated an outstanding effort to log as many DXers as possible". If
you are interested in competing for - or contributing to - the 2016 Cass
Award, please visit www.cassaward.com.
CR2X FAREWELL PARTY ---> Radio Aracala (OH8X) established the CR2X contest
station in the Azores back in 2008. The CR2X project has taken all major
European records to a level that may last for some time. The CQ WW/ARRL
SOAB records were captured as the main target, further flanked by all
single-band CW/SSB records in the ARRL DX contests. For one final time, the
Radio Arcala group (CU2BV, CU2CE, CU2DX, OH2BH, OH2PM, OH2UA, OH6KN,
OH6KZP, OH7EA and OH8NC) is getting together in the Azores for the ARRL DX
SSB Contest, which will be their farewell activity. They will modify the
single-op station to run in a multi-multi setting, using the latest power
splitting techniques with which three bands are served simultaneously by
one antenna, both receive and transmit. See qrz.com for further
information. Special CR2X QSLs will be sent automatically via OH2BH. [TNX
OH2BH]

on the Weak Signal Propagation Reporter Network's website, www.wsprnet.org:
- click "Map" in the upper right hand corner;
- set the search parameters for "all" bands and "24 hours", and

(while on the island).
The expedition will operate a 250-milliwatt battery-powered propagation
beacon that is capable of transmitting on 40, 30, 20, 17, 15 and 10 metres.
The beacon will cycle through the bands during the expedition.
