My tip: Don't worry about multipliers for the first 12 hours. Well, maybe
about YU/NWT. Concentrate on rate and the multipliers will come. You'll
have time to look for missing sections during the slow Sunday period.
I've never gotten a sweep on CW, but I've done it 5 times on SSB with low
power. (I'll be part time on CW, watch for me all-out in the SSB portion)
