For phone, we report the Belgian contest UBA DX Contest will take place from 1300UTC Saturday to 1300 UTC Sunday. Individual provinces of Belgium count as multipliers. QSOs with stations not in Belgium are also valid, but for the complete rules, we refer to http://www.uba.be/en/hf/contest-rules/uba-dx-contest-rules site.
In terms of DXpeditions, now you know VP6T, HK0NA, TN2T and C21HA are in full swing. The latter is working mainly in CW, but has done good chances these morning around 0700 UTC in 14 and 18 Mhz in SSB, mainly on long path, so point antennas to southwest. The new of the weekend should be represented by FW0R,Wallis and Futuna organized by Laci, HA0NAR, who already two years ago we listened from this entity. It was February 2009 and we had very few sunspots. It will be interesting to see how it goes this time.
