[UK-CONTEST] Operating advice for new contesters

[Alex G3ZBE]

Hi all
I really think more experienced contesters should strike a balance
between encouraging those newcomers who want to become top grade
contesters and those who are interested and find it fun to enter, but do
not particularly want get obsessive about it.  Do we want to put
"casual" contesters (like me) off the whole idea of contest
participation?  At the end of the day the Hot-shot operators need the
casual contesters to feed their pile ups!

Chris' article is well worth a read as an example of constructive help.

I will now put my tin hat on.

Hello all

If you are new to HF contesting, please visit my new web-page which
gives
some advice on handling (and calling in) pile-ups :
http://www.qsl.net/zl1v/operating2005.htm

There are a lot of other websites with similar information and there are
several webpages with streaming audio of pile-up handling e.g.
