Being fairly low on the Perry Totem Pole, I only made about 31 contacts
last weekend. So I (seriously) asked Google's AI "Bard" how to make more
contacts. Here are the results after a few seconds:
I asked Google’s Bard how to make more cw contacts during the Stew Perry
contest! After a few seconds:
Here are some tips on how to make more CW contacts during the Stew Perry
Top Band Distance Challenge:
- Start early. The band tends to be less crowded early in the contest,
so you’ll have a better chance of making contacts with stations from all
over the world.
- Use a good antenna. A good antenna is essential for making contacts on
160 meters. If you can, set up your antenna outdoors in a clear area.
- Operate at a high power level. This will give you a better chance of
being heard by stations in distant locations.
- Use a good CW key. A good CW key will make it easier for you to send
and receive CW at high speeds.
- Be patient. It can take some time to make contacts on 160 meters,
especially during a busy contest. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t make a
lot of contacts right away.
Here are some additional tips that may help you make more CW contacts:
- Use a contest logging program. This will help you keep track of your
contacts and make it easier to submit your log after the contest.
- Listen to the band before you start calling. This will give you an
idea of what stations are active and what their call signs are.
- Call CQ slowly and clearly. This will help stations to hear you and
identify your call sign.
- Be responsive to calls. If you hear a station calling you, respond as
quickly as possible.
- Use a friendly and encouraging tone. This will make it more likely
that stations will want to work you again.
I hope these tips help you make more CW contacts during the Stew Perry Top
Band Distance Challenge!
