[VHFcontesting] Another rookie question

[Dan Evans]

Hi Steve, and the Group,

You have received a lot of great advice.  It's always nice to see this 
sort of stuff on the reflectors.  Keep in mind for every person that 
asks a question, there are probably 10 more that needed the info but 
were probably just "listening" to the traffic:-)

About the only thing I could add is I find it helpful to carry a 
notebook.  Computer logging is the only way to go.  I hate entering a 
log into the computer after the contest.  But keep a paper notebook as a 
back up, and to keep notes on what works, and more importantly what 
doesn't work during the expedition. This will then become your "to-do" 
list after the contest.   Also, don't forget to send us an "After Action 
Report" to the reflector after the contest.  This is a great way to help 
prepare for the next Rover expedition and there are other folks on the 
list that can learn from the info:-)

And above all, don't forget to have fun!
