Most folks start on 20M but try 15M halfway
thru, then
the dash to the finish on 40M... but play and have fun.

for 1 watters between 14058 to 14061. Try SSB on the half

hopping can yield your highest score. 7 QSO points

and 3 QSO points for non-nuts. Use any logging program you
wish, even paper, but DO NOT SEND
LOGS. And remember, you
do not have to submit an entry to
play and have fun.
