ARRL November Sweepstakes, CW / via ARRL headquarters
The CW weekend of the ARRL November Sweepstakes is November 2 – 3. ARRL Sweepstakes is the “oldest domestic contest, beginning in 1930” with competition at the individual, multi-operator, and school club levels. In this contest, multipliers are the 85 ARRL and RAC Sections; each may be contacted as a multiplier once in the contest, regardless of band. The exchange may be daunting for first timers, but it’s familiar to those who’ve operated in this contest before. Contacts may be made on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters, but because multipliers may be worked only once, activity tends to cluster on the bands that are open and populated.
