Hello Fellow Contesters,
Relatively speaking, I am new to this sport and would like to ask some
advice! I have a small station (loop in the attic and QRP to 100 watts)
and I would like some advice on running. I would like to know, "when is a
good time to run?" And, "what part of the band should I run in?," and "
when do I stop running?" I have run a few times in several contests but
it appears that no one hears me! I usually stop running after 5 minutes
without a call because my voice tends to get tired! 

Should I run after I have worked everyone else on the band?? What band
would be the best to run on? 20 Meters? I will be operating this contest
with low power so don't expect a big signal! Also, what band should I
start on?? I usually start on 20 because the band fades away shortly
after the contest begins! Thank you so much for any help. Good luck in
the contest and Good DX!
