I never used to enter a log, as I was never sure how to score it properly. There wasn't the information around in those days, and keeping the paperwork up to date slowed the rates down. I was more interested in DXing then, and was interested to work all the exotic DX that appeared in the contests. My first club contest was with the Clifton Amateur Radio Society, G3GHN, in FieldDay. They never had a hope of winning, but took it very seriously, and everyone had a brilliant time.

I like watching the 'big picture' unfold as a contest progresses. Seeing who is on the air, how they are operating. I love it when some exotic multipliers pop up out of nowhere. I like the patterns that emerge, getting to know how the band is performing. And the funny comments, and peoples reactions under stress.

Better aerial supports. A Beverage for the low bands.

Pick a class and contest that interest you. Do lots of contesting. Don't worry what others are doing.
