Welcome to the mad nutty world of ham radio contests. Your picking a world
class event to start in. Get ready for lots of frustration, and lots of
FUN.
If you want to play on another band, check 20 first, then 40. But be
advised that 40 will require SPLIT operation. The DX will be mostly below
7.1 and USA needs to be above 7.150(advanced).
Again...welcome..and have fun.

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.

holler? I plan to S&P, but will listen to all advice.

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:

are made on other bands, the log file must clearly be marked as Single Band
in the header of the Cabrillo file.
