One of my first blog entries was “Tips for the Casual Dxer.” Now, I have another tip:
The night before a major DX contest, get on the air and work the stations warming up for the next day’s events.
I did this exact thing yesterday. Tuning around 15m, I worked in quick succession:
- PY1NX, who was booming in with 20 dB over S9 signal;
- PJ4/KU8E; and
- V47Z, a new country for me.
I probably could have worked a bunch more, but I got a little tired of simply sending 599s. It was nice to work the new country, though.
