Well guys, this is it! Tonight at 1900 I start my first contest.

I will be a Single Operator, Single Band (10M), 25 Watts (RS HTX-10), operation.

I realize that this contest starts just as the band usually dies, but maybe 
I'll get a few Carribean and SA stations.  Tomorrow, I've got a couple of 
"things" but hope to put in at least 6-8 hours. Sunday will be a noon to close 
operation with a few breaks, probably a 4-6 hour effort. 

A few questions:
     If your're a sqeaky toy like me, do you S&P or find a clear freq and 
holler? I plan to S&P, but will listen to all advice.
     If I pull out the TS-160 and try to do another band after dark, what 
should I choose, 40 or 75?  This rig is 100W.  I'll just put the proper 
resonator on the Hustler MO-2.  Also, if I do, I'm confused about something I 
read:
<snip>
3.1.2.1. A participant may submit only one single band entry. If contacts are 
made on other bands, the log file must clearly be marked as Single Band in the 
header of the Cabrillo file.
<snip>
How can I work on another band and submit an SOSB report?

Thanks for you patience with the over-excited newbie...
