I’m Richard and I’m a contester! Contesting and chasing DXCC helps feed my OCD-ness. I look at the open spots showing me where I need states and DX entities and I can’t help but get on the air.
I just joined the DFW Contesting Group and plan to participate in the CQ WW DX contest in October!
Very good pod cast. I like contesting even though I do not get to do it much. It is important to a new HAM like myself to see how much I can do with the little bit that I have to work with.
My Kenwood 530S is actually working well for an old rig attached to a home made fan dipole (10, 20, 40). Even after two years, I enjoy and get excited about making a European contact.
Keep up the good work Cale!
