All WPX Contest entries for CW/SSB since 1973 have been entered into a searchable database.

Online certificates are available for 2010 and later. Use the search to find your call in the database. Then click on the [Cert] link to view the certificate in pdf format.
The Log Check page allows you to upload your log and check its formatting. Once all errors are corrected you can have it send your log directly to the robot.
The ADIF page allows you to upload your ADIF format log file and convert it to the Cabrillo format used for contest entries. You can then have it send your log directly to the robot. Nothing could be easier for submitting log files from your general purpose logger!
