I'll add one more thing, now that I think of it. when I first got started in
ham radio not so long ago, all I had was FM, and I didn't know anything
about contests. HOWEVER, I did look at the score listings in QST and once in
a while would find a call sign I remembered from a repeater QSO. I'd call
them and congratulate them and they'd tell me a bit about it. It sounded
interesting each time.... I'm still slow to get into this, but the listings
are an opportunity for contesting "PR". I don't think I'd hunt it down on
the web if I didn't participate and know where to go for it....
