Description

Drawing loosely from two presentations delivered at Contest University 2022, roundtable members Dan KC7MSU, Brian W7JET, and Charlie NJ7V discuss some of the most important and commonly overlooked ham radio operating techniques. This is a practical, experience-driven conversation focused on what really makes a difference on the air.Referenced presentations:Contesting 101: Operating — Doug Grant, K1DGOperating Mechanics: The X Factor in Contesting Success — Pat Barkey, N9RVCW OPs What Makes a Good, Courteous CW Operator?: https://cwops.org/what-makes-a-good-cw-op/3830 Scores: https://www.3830scores.com/Connect with us:* Discord: https://discord.gg/YDeM3JeH* TikTok: @redsummitrf* X (formerly Twitter): @NJ7V_Support the channel:* Buy us a Coke: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/RedSummitRF* Red Summit RF Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/redsummitrf#apdz #SOTA #HamRadio #PortableOps #QRP #Workbench #Electronics #POTA
