Several folks have mentioned "Field Day".
Interestingly, mode is a factor there, too. You can
actually make three QSO's with the same station on the
same frequency band: phone, CW and "any other digital
mode".
I guess mode-specificity is an HF contesting
phenomena. I'm not saying that it's bad, I simply
find it fascinating. My frame of reference is that of
a VHF contester where the idea is to log a station
once without regard as to mode used.
On the other hand, I wonder what the January VHF SS
would be like if I could work the same station three
times. :)
Thanks for the info, guys.
Ev, W2EV
