ARRL DX CW Contest 2019 – 131 contacts

I did a little bit of this contest Friday, then a little before I went out on Saturday and then a little on Sunday. This one is fun because it’s all DX. It’s 48 hours though, which is a long time to do the whole thing. I joined the Florida Contest Group a couple weeks ago and Wolf NN7CW is a member. I met him at my first Hamcation, he was doing a CW speed test and it was super fast. I talked to him after he finished about CW. He posted to the FCG group that this contest was slow going (he did over 1200 contacts at this point) but he wasn’t continuing to the second day.



I’m happy with my contacts for the time I had to work it and I enjoyed working in CW even though I’m still getting the hang of it. They do the same contest in a couple weeks but SSB. I’ll do some of that too.

Map of contacts. I think that is my first CW contact to New Zealand.
