[Elecraft] EEEEHAAAAaaa!! CQWWDX WoW!

[Bob Nielsen]

Enter the contests and you might just be surprised.  Sometimes a  
category (QRP, single-band, etc.) won't have a lot of competition (or  
even any!) and I've picked up a lot of unexpected wallpaper that  
way.  My very first contest (1953 WWDX, CQ didn't sponsor it that  
year) resulted in a certificate with less than 700 points and I have  
some with even lower totals.

Besides contests are a good opportunity to make a bunch of contacts,  
even when the solar activity is lacking.
