Hi !!
Totally agree with K7QQ. For the last WPX, I have no plan to operate I was busy
with work and sick. On Friday morning I finally decided to participate SOAB HP
assisted, I get ready the station in Friday evening. Just 3 hours to slept 3
and start the contest.
My claimed score it is on top5 at 3830. If I can't notify my participation few
days before..... no chance to win ???
Or if I decide to changes category at last minute for any problem or
inconvenience or propagation.....no chance to win ???
Best regards.
