Hi, all,

I've been reading this reflector for a couple of months now, and have my
first SSB SS under my belt... more or less. Anyway, I'm getting a new
FT-1000 Field and want to set up my station efficiently and would like to
learn what I can from those that are doing (to borrow a phrase).

I'm in Fayetteville - Anybody have time (probably only weekends) to help out
a newbie (to contesting, anyway?) I'd like to at least sit in on a m/m or
m/single, if possible - and I could even bring my new rig (to WPX) if
desired.

And finally - while I am set up on Echolink, I almost never use it and am
curious about your comment that it is/could be a useful tool for contest
prep? Or do you just refer to using it as a logistical channel?

tnx & 73,
Brad
