Dear fellow contester,
Next weekend, August 9/10th, the Worked All Europe DX Contest is finally starting into its 54th season.
## 第54回なのかぁ。すげー。
I want to thank you again for your last years participation and I’d like to invite and welcome you for this years CW event (48 hours 00:00-23:59Z).
## でもね、懐かしのコンテストなんだけど、今年は
## お出かけすることにしちゃったの。ごめんね。
The official rules and many more information can be found in the Internet:

Please be aware that in 2008 we also commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Worked All Europe award. A WAE Marathon will be held starting with the WAE DX Contest CW next week and ending with the WAE DX Contest SSB in mid September. Please visit http://www.darc.de/referate/dx/fedds.htm , where a lot more information is available.
## WAEアワードだと60周年・・・・・。すげー。
Please be aware that in the context of this WAE60 Marathon Europeans might be interested to work other Europeans too, which is unusual for the WAE DX CW and SSB contests. These EU–EU QSOs are fully legal, of course, and can/should be present in the WAEDC contest logs as well. While they will not count as points for the contest score, they certainly count for the WAE60 award and they will not hurt the contest scores at all.
Thus, if you are a European and another European is calling you during the contest, don’t get angry this time – just work and log him and after a few seconds he is gone again.
Finally I hope to meet you on the bands during the contest.
Enjoy!
Best 73 de Joerg, DL8WPX
