[CQ-Contest] check log charlie

[Radio K0HB]

Scott, even if you DID buy a new radio it wouldn't make a difference.




My radio is fairly recent (FTdx-5000) and my software is very recent (N1MM+).




If I work a split, ie RX-7075/TX-7175, my log will record the Q on the RX QRG.

Is that the price of entry into CQWW?  Quite honestly my older radio still works pretty well and I do not see getting many more QSOs due to a new radio. The ROI would be very low
