As a new ham, contesting is an interesting side of the hobby/service. I am currently only a Technician, but am working on upgrading to General in the next few weeks. I worked the SS as a guest op at the local radio club and had a very good time. The Sunday doldrums hit us very hard here in 3 land. We could hear the sections on the west coast, but couldn't make contact.
I have already informed the XYL of my future contesting plans. I have so much to learn... I should have jumped in this hobby/service 15 years ago when I was in my teens. Stupid me thought ham radio was for geeks. Guess I'm a geek now ;)
Any must read material out there for the budding contester? I'm not looking to be a big gun, but rather be a big in the little gun world.
