I went on the air one year ago as KK4MJA; last weekend I celebrated my ham anniversary by participating in IARU Word Championship, now as K4MJA. As always, with my antennas and time available (not much of either), I had no intention to compete but rather to support the real competitors by my effort. I made some contacts and enjoyed it very much. I think it will be even more exiting as I will be able to do the CW...still in the process of leaning it. Here is the map of my contacts during the contest: K4MJA->>IARU HF Championship contact map 73!

CQ-M is Russian HAM contest (by Russian Radio-Amateur Union AKA SRR AKA Союз Радиолюбителей России); its going to be the 53rd's CQ-M this weekend. The contest is both CW and SSB. Here are the rules: http://cqm.srr.ru/en-rules/
We will be participating with my friend Sergey K4/RU4W who is CW guru and yet to build his shack here in Miami, so he will be working from mine under my callsign. I'll be doing the SSB part. With the antennas available, we will be doing search and pounce mostly. Wish us luck.

73!

PS I will be handling the station's QSL traffic for the event. All QSLs go to my callsign. I will not be uploading CW portion of the contest to any of my online logs (QRZ, LOTW, EQSL), unless asked. SSB will be online promptly, as usual.
