On 10-10-2012 I had QSO with the same number of non-10-10 as I did 10-10 contacts because that is how the QSO Party is set up, the regular QSO do count for 1 point and the 10-10 contacts count for 2 points. That is saying a lot for the 10-10 members from the west USA because they really came out in to play to match the non members QSO. Of course, I think it maybe sinking in that I do call "CQ 10-10" instead of a regular CQ, so the non 10-10 members could have been holding back a bit. Of course, that does change a few times a year for the ARRL 10 meter contest, Field Day, and the DX contest but I am not really a contest operator, I just like to get On-the-Air when everyone comes out to play for the ARRL LoTW confirmations. Now that I have ARRL WAS 7 ways, I am concentrating on the DX confirmations, so I am to the point I could drop the 10-10 part and go with a "CQ-DX" but that would mean not contacting USA stations, so I have just decided to stick with "CQ 10-10" until 2015 and go from there.
