[CQ-Contest] Looking at my log

[k8gt@twmi.rr.com]

I also use CW-reverse on my TS850 and tune from high end of the band 
down.
That way, I don't keep following the same station all the way up the 
band,
getting beat out for every new mult.  But it is a surprise when someone 
else 
follows me down the band.  :-)

73, Gerry K8GT
