CQWPX

 

CQWPX is a series of international amateur radio contests annually in March, May, and September. The contests are organized by CQ Magazine and are sponsored by the CQ Amateur Radio Club.

There are three main contests in the CQ WPX series: the CQ WPX RTTY Contest, which is for digital communication using the Radio Teletype (RTTY) mode; the CQ WPX SSB Contest, which is for voice communication using single sideband (SSB) modulation; and the CQ WPX CW Contest, which is for morse code communication. All three contests are open to all licensed amateur radio operators.

Radio operators can participate in the CQ WPX contests as individuals or as part of a team. During the contests, radio operators attempt to make as many contacts as possible with other operators in different countries and regions. Points are awarded for each contact based on the distance between the two stations and the mode of communication used.

The CQ WPX contests are popular among amateur radio operators because they allow them to test their skills and equipment, make new contacts, and learn about different cultures and geography. They are also a way for ham radio operators to share their knowledge and skills with others and promote the hobby of amateur radio.
