CQ World-Wide WPX CW contest will be held May 29-30, 2021 so začiatkom o 00.00 UT v sobotu a koncom o 23.59 UT v nedeľu. WPX contest sú celosvetové preteky založené na princípe nadväzovania spojení s čo najväčším počtom staníc s rôznymi prefixmi. Súťaží sa v pásmach 1.8, 3.5, 7, 14, 21 a 28 MHz módom CW. Pre tento ročník je v pravidlách several changes and for activity planning and band selection you can help statistics from the WPX activity map .
SSB: March 27-28, 2021 CW: May 29-30, 2021 Start: 0000 UTC Saturday End: 2359 UTC Sunday
I. Objective:
For stations all over the world to establish as many connections as possible with as many prefixes as possible during the race.
II. Hours of operation:
48 hours. Stations with one operator can work a maximum of 36 hours from total time 48 hours - breaks must be at least 60 minutes long of which no connection is entered. Stations with multiple operators can work a full 48 hours.

III. Bands:
Bands 1.8, 3.5, 7, 14, 21, and 28 MHz can be used. It is necessary to observe the valid band plans.
IV. EXCHANGE:
RS(T) report and connection serial number starting from 001 on first connection. Note: stations in the Multi-Two, Multi-Unlimited and Multi-Distributed categories number connection on each band separately (from 001).
V. RESULT:
A. Result: The final result is obtained by multiplying the number of points per QSO by the number of different prefixes (once per race, regardless of bands). B. Points for QSO: Connection with one and the same station is valid on each band once: 1. For connections between stations on different continents, three (3) points per bands 28, 21, and 14 MHz and six (6) points on 7, 3.5, and 1.8 MHz. 2. Connections between stations on the same continent outside one's own country are counted for one (1) point on the 28, 21, and 14 MHz bands and two (2) points on 7, 3.5, and 1.8 MHz. Exception: only for North American stations — for connections between stations in North America (both stations must be on the continent of North America) se count two (2) points on the 28, 21, and 14 MHz bands and four (4) points on the 7, 3.5, and 1.8 MHz. 3. Connections between stations of one's own country are counted as one (1) point regardless on bands. C. Multiplier: The multiplier is the number of valid prefixes with which it was linked connection, regardless of bands (one prefix applies only once). 1. PREFIX is a character combination of letters and numbers of the first part of the call sign. Examples: N8, W8, WD8, HG1, HG19, KC2, OE2, OE25, LY1000, etc. Any a different combination applies to a separate prefix. A station that works from another DXCC the country than has its original mark must use the mark for the transitional one broadcast as portable. The portable prefix must be with the authorized form for given country. In the case of such traffic, the prefix is the designation of the country portable operation. Example: N8BJQ operating from Wake Island will have a call sign N8BJQ/KH9 or N8BJQ/NH9. KH6XXX Ohio workers must use authorized prefix for district 8 (/W8, /AD8, etc.). Portable destination without digit will be taken as a prefix with the number zero (Ø) after the second letter of the prefix. Example: PA/N8BJQ will be taken as prefix PAØ. Also all call signs without digits they will be taken with the digit zero in the prefix after the first two letters of the call sign. Example: XEFTJW will be valid as XEØ. Maritime mobile, mobile, /A, /E, /J, /P, or other identifiers will not be taken as a prefix. 2. Participation with special occasional premiums is recommended, but they must be officially issued by the licensing authority of the given country.
