Contesting

A local Ham, Dick Zalewski, W7ZR, Sets A World Record!
Using CN2R’s station in Casablanca, Morocco, North Africa and operating as 5C5Z, Dick set a world record for single operator, single band (20 meters) in the 2007 CQ World Wide WPX Contest. He worked 1009 prefix multipliers for a whooping score of 11,745,769! If you want to take a look of Dick in action, go to www.cn2r.net, click on Video and then 5C5Z Operating. Here you can actually watch Dick working his way to a world record.

This web site is very interesting, allowing you to take an inside look at a world-class contest station. Want to hear what you sound like on the other end of a contest QSO? Simply click on the Contest/QSO Logs button, enter your call letters and your QSO is played back to you. How cool is that! Give it a try by entering the call, K7LY (Jerry's call), and take a listen.
