[Elecraft] how I operate the contest using the K2

[Mark J. Schreiner]

Hi Doug,

I'm not a super contester, and I'm just starting to hone my abilities as 
such, but I've found that by clicking on the bandmap to either a 
specific frequency (such as the bottom of the band) or a callsign of a 
station that I hadn't logged on my previous run through the bands (and 
maybe a new multiplier) is a pretty quick and efficient way to change 
frequencies without using rig memories or changing VFO or anything like 
that.  I use N1MM Logger but I'm sure other programs likely have similar 
functionality.
