If you make any effort at all, you should be able to work DXCC in CQWW. With LoTW, I'll bet you'll pretty much be able to confirm it, too!

Good Luck!

We are using the computer Connor brought for SCR; I don't know the passwords to anything else.  As for software, we downloaded N1MM, and SCR-Log.  I like N3FJP, but it isn't free.  I will go up to the station before the contest and find software.

I operated for a few hours last year in CQWW, and I got about 40 DXCC's with a dipole at 25 feet.  I'm sure we will be able to rack up QSOs with the SteppIR.

We will be operating as W5TC.
