Hi all - My comments are directed to this weeks contest, CQWW SSB, Low Power. Hopefully, this year things will spread out some with 15m and 10m in better shape.

Search and Pounce is the main mode for Low Power as it is very difficult to establish and keep a run going because of the QRM from stations on every available freq. Last year 15m was the place for low power stations to go. This year 10m may work for us on the East Coast.

Often times that's correct, but especially when 10m is good, you can go higher in the band and actually maintain a good run rate CQing with low power. Act loud. It does work!
