Most serious SO2R guys have good stations and have no problem working the spots they are clicking on the first call. I've done this while running from a big station and listening on the sub reciever.
My consideration of WPX as a rate contest come from the late Bill Fisher W4AN (SK). He said to not worry about multipliers, and focus on rate. Then the multipliers will come. From my experience at th

Well, there are other similarly equipped stations out there competing with you. I'll bet you don't have to wait in line too long. 73, Ken, AB1J That was always my experience, even at the well-equipp

Kevan, You have mis-interpreted my statement. I wasnt saying that it was a lot of trouble to go to a spot. My issue is what happened on the radio in real-time after you got to the spot. This has abso
