Thanks for all the replies i received...
The major opinion seems to be:
"As long as it's fun to *you*, it's important."
That's a very good summary, i guess one that most can subscribe to :-)
Perhaps my initial question was misleading, i was looking for the contests
which should be mentioned in an article to newcomers as worthwhile taking
part, not to miss etc. Of course there are varied opinions around the world,
depending on chances in the various competitions.
As a rough picture, here goes:
CQWW mentioned most often
WPX
ARRL Round up
BARTG
WAE
Less often mentioned:
SARTG
JARTS
VOLTA
ANARTS
SCC
and all the rest.
Somebody made an important observation:
If it not supported by software - forget it. That shows again how important
programs like WF1B and others are.
Thanks again,
UE,
Ekki, DF4OR
