The XW4DX DXpedition website documents the amateur radio operation from Laos, a country ranked #98 on Clublog's Most Wanted list. This resource provides insights into the planning and execution of a significant DXpedition, including antenna choices like _Hexbeams_ at 14m, a 4-square for 40m, and a top-loaded vertical for 160m. The team, comprising operators such as _F4BKV Vincent_ and _F2DX Patrick_, focused on challenging paths, particularly towards the North American East Coast, where Laos is #41 most wanted. Operational constraints included prohibitions on 6m, 30m, 60m, and 80m bands within Laos, necessitating a focus on other HF frequencies, especially 160m and 40m. The expedition utilized up to five stations simultaneously, with equipment transportation being a major logistical challenge, partially mitigated by direct shipments from _Spiderbeam_ and donor support. The expedition ran from November 16th to 27th, 2023, with the complete XW4DX log uploaded to LoTW by December 23rd, 2023. This site serves as a historical record of their efforts to put Laos on the air for DXers worldwide.

The State QSO Party Challenge is an annual program recognizing amateur radio operators' participation in U.S. State and Canadian Province QSO parties. To qualify for the SQP Challenge, participants must make at least two QSOs in a minimum of two SQP Approved QP contests and submit their scores to 3830Scores.com. The site details the SQP Mobile/Portable Challenge, an overlay competition encouraging mobile/portable operations, with scoring identical to the main SQP Challenge: (Number of QPs entered) x (Number of QSOs) = Score. Eligibility for the Mobile/Portable Challenge requires prior qualification for the SQP Challenge. The website also mentions a State QSO Party Club Challenge and provides contact information for questions. The 2026 SQP Challenge will be dedicated to Stan Zawrotny, K4SBZ, a key team member instrumental in the program's development. Participants are recognized for reaching five levels of achievement: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Scores are calculated by totaling reported contacts and multiplying by the number of SQPs entered year-to-date, encouraging more entries and longer operating times. The Worked All QSO Parties (WAQP) program, sponsored by Icom America, offers certificates for participating in at least 50% of approved contests, with a goal of participating in all. WAQP requires submitting a log with at least two valid contacts to the contest manager, in addition to the 3830scores.com submission.
