#WAE DX

The Worked All Europe DX Contest is organized by the DARC and held in separate weekends for CW, SSB and RTTY. European stations work the world and stations outside Europe work Europe, using a signal report and a serial number as the basic exchange. The contest is unusual because of QTC traffic, which adds points through messages about earlier contacts. Articles under this tag explain the structure of the contest, the logging of QTCs and the errors that tend to appear. Details such as dates, limits and the country list are in the current official rules.
