Isn't that interesting?!
I'm 52 years old and been a ham and contesting since 1975, so thats 30
years.
My contesting depends mainly on the contest also for which mode I run.
But a trend of my own is if I am serious in the competition I usually go
solo and CW.
But if I am trying to get others interested in contesting, and or just
going to hand out points, look for new countries, just plain have fun, I
usually end up running phone.
