Contest FAQ

First you must know that CW contests are much more pleasant!!!! You don't have to shout like crazy in your mike for 48hours. And its possible to work with less power. I am using 100w(revised:)) only and never have had big problems copying me. But on SSB is different. Very often you find your self shouting in the mike cause some moron kW station can't copy you.
