Early contesting should never be about winning. I mean, you don't enter<br>
your first marathon to win it without training for it first, right?</blockquote><div><br> </div></div>=================<br>Another very good option for beginning contesters would be to find a multi-op that is taking place in your area. Even if you just go and plug your headphones into a splitter and listen for most of the contest you will learn ....... and I'd be willing that they will let you sit down and operate, too. <br>
<br>I know that's how we run our K8EPV Multi's in St Clair County - whether it's MI QP or Field Day - anyone sitting around gets to operate ..... and not just at midnight or the slow times.<br><br>73 Hank K8DD<br>
