Hi Scott,

All the contests aren't US based,  they are sponsored by groups all over 
the world.   Who can work who depends on the particular contest.

it helps to know the exchange for a contest you may want to play in.

You do not have to submit a log for the  other station to get credit.

Here is a link to a contest calendar page.    You can see the basic info 
for each contest, and go to the home page for a particular contest's 
rules if you wish:

One nice thing about contests, even for the casual op, is that  for some 
of the big international contests, the rare DX comes out of the woodwork 
for that weekend.

73, hope to work you in some future contest, Steve 	 KW3A
