- Bill, Thanks for the history on the contest, and it does make more sense. But it can be a difficult contest for little pistol stations who have to S&P for every contact. Not being able to work the sa

- Sure it can. Suck it up! Keep tuning. And CQ when you find a spot--those 'big guns' have to S&P, too. That's the nature and beauty of SS. You've got to work for the Q's. You want a QSO with the same

- Rick you need confidence in your station. If you work everybody you call then find a frequency and get your own 'run' going. I have a very low dipole, 40', a 33 foot vertical, and 100 watts. I've had

- I vote for keeping the last 3 hours. A lot of years, the Ft. Wayne hamfest falls on the same weekend, and I'm "doing my duty" for the local club. I get home and get those 3 hours to operate. Being "f
