[RTTY] 2003 WPX RTTY Contest Records/Results

[nasfred at 1bigred.com]

Hello,

Band point multipliers also contribute to the WPX score.  Understanding a 
contest's scoring is one of the items that has been mentioned several times in 
preparing for the contest season.  This correlates with understand your 
station's strength and how to use it to your benefit.  For example, if you get 
double point credit for 40 and 80 meter contacts and your station preforms 
well on these bands, then this can be a contest to concentrate on as you 
should do well.  Plan your operation to correspond to when 40/80 are to your 
benefit.  If you do this, you'll enyjoy contesting even more as you will be 
maximizing your score by efficiently using your time. 

73,
Mike, K4GMH
