Why do people calling in competitions not say what area they are interested
in DX'ing with? Three times I tried to join in yesterday only to be told
after making contact they were only interested in USA states... hmmm. It
would only take a second longer in the call to say this to save anyone else
from wasting their time replying to their calls. Grrr....

Graham,

It's a good idea to determine what the contest is before calling:) The one is an ARR run contest. The idea is to work the US & Canada states & provinces. The exchange from them is report + state, e.g. "59 PA" and when working them is report + power.

It was fun getting in between the kilowatts + beams with my 10 watts & indoor dipole (actually all you need patience and more time listening than calling). I'm not sure how they score but I assume there are more points for working QR stations. I certainly got some nice complements and worked most of the eastern seaboard states around New York as well as New Found land & Ontario.


Charlie.
