W/VE amateurs: Work as many DX stations in as many DXCC entities as possible.

DX stations: Work as many W/VE stations in as many of the 48 contiguous states and provinces as possible.

Dates:

CW: Third full weekend in February (February 18-19, 2023).

Phone: First full weekend in March (March 4-5, 2023).

Contest Period: Begins 0000 UTC Saturday and runs through 2359 UTC Sunday.

Individual team members may operate from their home stations in conjunction with the multi-op station. The home stations must be within a radius of 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the multihop station and must be within the same DXCC entity, US State, or Canadian province.  For more information, visit the link below.
