question about 10 meter contest exchanges

[crappykraco]

Ok.. I understand the RST report bit.

US stations add the state they're in.. Seems others are adding a sequential number for each contact. 201, 202, 203 and so on.

Other contests I've listened in on the state was not mentioned, but i hear them adding another number after the signal report.. Ex.. 59 15 , or 59 05... I guess what I'm saying is i don't understand what information is supposed to be exchanged, and it seems to vary depending on the contest.

OK. had the aarl exchange explained to me by brain damage.. I had read the contest rules and didn't see that part.

You can go to the sponsoring organizations website to info on the QSO exchange info. It differs by contest.

Check the "Contest Calendar" in every issue of QST, or on the ARRL (not aarl) website. That'll give you the information for the exchange.
