[CQ-Contest] SS question

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I wasn't talking about a mug that you purchase from the ARRL.

Getting the sweep is pretty important if you are trying to win. If you 
can manage to get it early then you can concentrate your entire effort 
on running and you don't have to devote any time searching for mults.

I received an email from the ARRL and they are changing the rule to be 
more consistent with how they score your log.

So now you can work your 24 hours, then turn on packet and find all your 
buddies in the club that you missed during your 24 hours and give them 
points..................contesting at its finest.
