[CQ-Contest] How to start a run

[Charles Harpole]

Tim, general answer is BE MUCH LOUDER, have a desirable call sign, and be
spotted.
Today's contests "runners" have a massive ERP with big amps and stacked
yagis, have well-known call signs (or are in a needed place uniquely), and
somehow get spotted via RBN or club buddies or ... .

Of course, persistence counts for a lot.  GL, Charly  HS0ZCW
