[TVARC] ARRL 10m Contest Tips & Tricks

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

I was thinking of writing something for the club to prepare for this
weekend's ARRL 10M Contest, but the Florida Contest Group did it for me.
Attached is a bunch of slides that were presented, and much of it should be
useful to our TVARC stations.

 

Remember, we can contact stations on CW and/or SSB.  More activity will be
found on CW since the points for those QSOs are double those for SSB.  I've
found that, especially Friday night, that you may not find all that much SSB
activity.  But that should change by later on Saturday, when stations
operating Mixed (CW and SSB) will need to find those multipliers on SSB (can
work stations on CW and SSB, and mults are per mode).

 

Don't be afraid to call CQ, at least on SSB.  It can be quite exhilarating
to have a whole bunch of stations call you.  Just calmly pick out one at a
time, give them your 59 Florida, copy the response and say thanks, QRZ and
your call.  Easy!

 

Look also for other TVARCers, since we'll be able to work one another - and
maybe, later in the contest, when contacts are getting harder to come by, we
can suggest working each other on the other mode. 

 

Right now, solar flux is up to 150, so if it can hold up there than we
should have some great propagation.

 

Good luck all and 73,

Pete, K2PS
