[CQ-Contest] Contesting tip of the week

[ko7ss at yahoo.com]

In the last few months I have been lured into the LOTW DXCC + Challenge. Of course the
easiest way to get this done is operating contests. I sit with my N1MM bandmaps filled
with skimmer spots, the LOTW Challenge chart open in a browser window, and QRZ.com
open in another browser window. A bit OCD, I know.....

For any QRZ.com listing, it will say if the station uses LOTW or not. If they don't use it
I don't bother to work them. It can be that simple. This is my casual contester mode right
now and I suspect it is the same for lots of ops.

So, consider using LOTW. You may work more stations. And if you do use LOTW please
upload your log right after the contest.
