Greetings from northeast Ohio....new member. Have a general class license...question....it seems whenever and wherever I go on the ham bands there is only contests going on and the folks are not interested in ragchew...any ideas? Jeff B.
well, as a general rule, you either love or hate contests.
I really don't see the point of them myself.
too many good things are ruined as soon as you keep score.
are you a "weekend" operator? things are a lot different during the weekdays as compared to the weekends.
what bands do you normally operate?
the WARC bands can be a great place to operate when the coon-testers are ^^ ab v c^^^^ ab v c^^^^ ab v c^^ and five-nineing.
New member and I gather a relatively new ham by the content of your post?. You need to get on more ofter and visit the WARC bands as hookedon6 mentioned.. Contests are few and far between.
