I plan on playing around in WAE next weekend - nothing serious as working Europe from Colorado is too depressing. In the contest, each US call area is a mult. My question is: Should I sign W2UP or W2
Hi Barry: I never sign /3 in WAE for the reasons you cite. Since you're just playing around, you could pass out the "0" multiplier if you wanted. I think your analysis of the pros and cons is spot on
