On the next weekend the WPX CW contest will take place. I usually take part in the most popular contests just to work some ATNO (with almost 180 DXCC entities worked as QRP it is difficult to find something new and easy) and this year I am also thinking to combine it with a SOTA activation-overnighter on SP/BZ-063 or perhaps SP/BZ-038. The nights are really short in this period so it should not be a problem to stay awake all night, as long as I get some rest in the afternoon before I head to the summit
I intend to take only a delta loop antenna for the 20 meter band, looking at the cluster it seems to me that the station that interests me (mainly Caribbean, South America and Oceania later in the morning) pop up usually around 3-4 UTC on that band. With some (a lot) luck I might also be able to work some S2S DX. Any fellow activator with a similar plan?
