Do you operate the same call from multiple stations during a contest or do
you use varying callsigns at these different locations?
73 -- Paul VO1HE
I operate with different calls (the host's call) from each station. All the
radios are unique to each station, keeping in line with the one call per
transmitter rule. I enter separate logs for each station.
That way I become a new station every six hours or so, so I get to work
everyone several times during the weekend.
Thus the rate goes **UP** as the contest goes on, as I become a more and
more precious commodity, a new station. Sunday afternoon is not a drag!
My personal challenge is to "beat" the national winner, i.e. WP3R. That is,
the sum of my individual scores is more than the winner's score. Some
years, if propagation is decent, I do. Other years, especially when there are
disturbed conditions, I don't.
I find it somewhat perplexing that more people have not taken up this
approach to SS, as it is one heck of a lot of fun.
