      The ARRL DX Contest SSB starts tonight at 6pm. The full rules can be found here. My guess is the bands will be full of action. This should be a great way to contact some DX stations. I’m looking forward to seeing how many I can hear, and get them in the log.

      N3FJP Logging Software and N1MM+ have logs for this contest. I hope my antennas are up for the challenge.

      Good Luck! I hope you make a lot of contacts.

          Whew! Sometimes, chasing DX isn’t for the faint of heart. The pile ups were relentless. I had fun making some contacts though. I took the opportunity to work on my portable setup. I’m ready to try it out at our next POTA activation.
