[FARC] Contesting

[Rolan O. Clark]

Dear  Perplexed HI,

I don't know unless they had worded each other before  and were confirming 
that one person was the 109 and the other was the 213 on each persons list 
respectively.
Usually QST has the contests and the rules and how  to report contacts for 
each contest they list.

Does that make sense,

Rolan

Ok, I'll try "contesting" as a subject line.

Questions to the group regarding a Ham radio H F  Q S O  p a r t y.

Saturday afternoon on 40 meters I heard the following exhange:

"CQ CQ CQ this is KXXXXX for the Michigan QSO party QRZed."

"KXXXXX this is WYYYYY you are 59 in Ohio."

"WYYYYY this is KXXXXX roger 59 in Ohio.  I have you 109 on the list."

"KXXXXX this is WYYYYY roger I have you as 213 on the list, 73 and good 
luck."

The question I have regarding this exchange is what do the phrases, "I have 
you 109 on the list," and "I have you 213 on the list," mean?  I realize 
that the folks in Michigan running the Q S O  p a r t y might keep a 
numbered list of all their contacts, but what was the guy in Ohio doing?

73 and always perplexed
