[CQ-Contest] My experience applying for a 1X2 call, HELP!

[Kent Olsen]

Jeff

I have passed up a couple of 2X1 calls that I am kicking myself for now.

Yes I am going to apply for 2X1 calls from now on.

Thanks all for the replies.  I am going to stick with 6 calls. I guess I
will hit the lottery someday.
