This is WA7BNM Contest Calendar. With a couple mouse clicks you can find the contests going on, who is putting them on, and much more info. The exchange is also there which can be hard to find if mentioned at all on other sites.

I use it weekly to see if there is something I want to dabble in. When propagation is good you'll sometimes run into contests run in the EU. Nice to be able to find the exchange in a hurry and work the DX. Next week is the North American QSO Party, CW. Simple exchange and 100w max. Hope to fill some of the band/mode holes in the log.

To answer your original question, ARRL RTTY Roundup.

Prosigns are what I anticipate being a weak point for me on RTTY, PSK, and CW (if I ever get there)

I found this link that I just book-marked and need to print and laminate for shack usage. (of course RU isn't listed )

I find it tough to figure out the correct one

LOL. You do fine on Olivia, and it's got WAY more options than RTTY.
