[SCCC] Which station for higher score

[Richard J. Norton]

There are a number of other considerations.

1) What does each station have on 40, 80, and 160 meters?

2) Does either station have power-line noise?

3) Are they both on flat ground, or does the nearby terrain affect
them differently?

4) What is your objective? Win? Have fun?

4a) Are you more comfortable in your own home?

4b) Can you go to the refrigerator more easily?

4c) If you are home, are you likely to operate for more hours? Is it
likely that you would wander back into the shack for short periods in
between other activities?

You have operated both stations. You probably already have a good feel
for how each one gets out. For example:

5) Can you call CQ to Japan successfully on 15? 20? 40?

GL.

Dick, N6AA/W2
