[Elecraft] General Digital Contesting Help

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

Group,

I would like to attempt to try and do some digital contesting with my 
K3.

It took me a long time to get HRD and its associated software working 
and I finally can use the DM780 software fairly good.

What I am not able to figure out is the proper set of calls and 
responses that contestors are looking for.

So can someone point me in the proper direction on how to go about 
understanding how contesting works and how to log.   I have been trying 
to read up on the internet, but I am missing some basic points of 
knowledge to pull it together.

Thanks in advance for your help.
