Supported Contests
State QSO Parties
The majority of the contests supported by CQ/X are naturally state
QSO parties since those contests are the ones having a mobile
component. The current version of CQ/X supports the following
state
and regional QSO parties:
*Multi-QP allows operation
of multiple QSO parties that are running concurrently. Three of these
multi-contests are currently supported:
-
the multi-contest consisting of
7QP, New England QP, and Indiana QP
held in May
-
the one consisting of
Florida QP and
Nebraska QP held in late April
-
the one consisting of Kansas
QP, Ohio QP, and Hawaii QP held in late August
The
capability includes a means of splitting the log
once you are done and a documented process for producing the final
Cabrillo for submitting to the sponsor. To use this feature in each of
these multi-QPs you will need version 1.7.8 patched through Patch
178-04.
Other HF Contests
The current version of CQ/X also supports the
following contests that
do not have a mobile component but are contests that I enjoy. Others
will be added now that most of the work on the QSO parties is nearing
completion.
VHF/UHF Contests
The current version of CQ/X uses GPS data to detect and display the
current grid square in preparation for supporting VHF/UHF contests but
it is not yet set up for the details associated with these contests.
However, the current plan is to include support for some of these
contests in the near future since these contests also have a mobile
component.
