Depending on where you live and the band, that might not help! For example, 1500 W and 6/6 is not enough to run stations on 15M during Sweepstakes from my area of the country. There is just too big of a skip zone covering most of the eastern US on the high bands.


>From OH for domestic contests, 80M will usually be best followed by 40M. But even 40M will go long during winter nights (get on 40 early to work close in states). 15 and 10 will only be runnable if there is sporadic E propagation in the summertime contests.
