Contesting

There's a nice article in the latest RadCom for those just starting in or thinking about having a go at contesting. I think many of you will know the author ;)

Nice one April !

A great article ooozing with enthusiasm and making the excellent point that a licence-imposed power limit or the conscious decision to go QRP can be offset many times over by an aerial with some gain - and a decent location.

A great read, succinct and well focused. I am sure that article will be a powerful encouragement to others.

No RadCom for me yet … the strike is maybe starting to affect deliveries. Oh well, I’ll be patient.

Sadly, no RadCom for me yet either. Post seems to be extremely random these days. I can go weeks without receiving anything and then I get a load. Always amuses me as I live just round the corner from the sorting office.

Looking forward to reading the article.

Dom, you are mentioned in the article in the RadCom Magazine, mine usually arrives halfway through the month, like it did this Month.

Thank you all for the positive feedback :) hopefully it come across well and made sense, hopefully it get more people interested in the contesting side of things in radio.

I'll have you know, I've previously appeared in Practical Wireless! 😄

But thanks for the mention April and it was a pleasure to be your first contest contact. 👍
