[Elecraft] Hello from K3 Owner

[Fred Smith]

I must agree the State QSO Parties and the NAQP are the way to go IMHO for
WAS. But some use the spoon fed nets like the 3905 they are on every band
now to do so even the WARC bands. I feel about the same way about the "DX
Nets" where they help each other to complete the calls or signal reports
where they continue for up to 5 min till finally the DX contact gets all the
info on the caller (with help).

There are 2 bands that they aren't on though and those are the 2 bands I'm
working on WAS on 160m SSB (using only the 160m contest) need 9 now and 6m
still need a whole bunch there 8>). The more you work for an Award of any
kind the more it means to YOU at least it does to me. I'm getting close to
5BDXCC and that is a goal at my age and health conditions anything more is
gravy.

Fastest way to get WAS is to get involved in one of the many domestic
contests. The North American QSO Party (NAQP) is tailor-made for low-power
work, since the rules require everyone to use 100 watts or less. Field Day
is great, as is the ARRL Sweepstakes. But the NAQP is twice a year, and is
only 12 hours at a whack.

You are already on LOTW, so that's great. I already have Basic, Phone, CW,
Digital and 6-band WAS from Gwinnett county, and in a little more than a
year, I worked Basic WAS from Floyd county using LOTW. 299 of my 300
confirmations for 6-band WAS came from LOTW. Only one, a 15m SC QSO, was on
a card.

Just get into the contests and operate, upload your logs and you'd be
surprised how quickly those confirmations come in. You may find WAS so easy,
that you move on to 5-band WAS.

Good luck.
