N3FJP napisal/-a:This is one of the "big" contests. If you are new, I would suggest to listen for an hour or so to get the hang of things. If you jump in without knowing what to do, you will not only get frustrated, you will also frustrate other operators.
I would suggest the following things
Read and understand the entire set of rules and guidelines for the particular contest - This is just common sense. Some just jump right in and go "Uhhhhhh I'm just handing out points".
Know your exchange - If you don't know what to exchange with the other operator, don't operate until you do. For CQWW WPX, it's RST and serial number. So you would send 59 01, 59 02, 59 03... etc.
Setup your station and software before the contest (today) - Use dedicated contest software like N1MM+, Wintest or N3FJP. It will make things much easier. Regular loggers like HRD and DXlabs have contesting "modes" but they are not really designed for contesting. I use N1MM+ for windows and you can't go wrong for the price. Just export the log in .adif from N1MM and import using your favorite general logger.
Test your station beforehand - Make sure everything is in working order.
For SSB, try to use a head set or something hands free - This allows you to type fast.
This is a contest, No time for rag chewing - Big contests like CQWW or anything that qualifies for WRTC is treated serious. Saying anything more than the exchange is wasting time. You might get away with rag chewing on QSO parties or such.
Don't forget about multipliers - Contacting certain stations will multiply your score. In this case each unique prefix (W1, NT1, NE1, CO6, VE7, KB1, WB1 for example) is a multiplier.
Know when to move on - Don't waste your time trying to contact a station. Give it a couple tries and if the operator doesn't come back to you, move along. There is a good chance they will be there later on
Rate is king - The point of a contest is to make as many contacts and exchanges as fast as possible within the time allowed. Use the KISS method (Keep It Simple Stupid, Keep It Short Stupid). If you are calling CQ and there are multiple people calling you, after the contact just say QRZ instead of saying "CQ contest, CQ contest, this is november echo one charlie, QRZ".
Experience will fine tune your contesting skills. It's very fun when you have high rates of contacts.
