For a first timer, I'd put the number a little bit lower. Perhaps 100 on
voice or 50 on CW. That way the person doesn't have to try to run the full
contest and doesn't get burned out from the effort.

Good point. Pick a number that is something you are happy with. My
point was that if you set a goal, you will know when you have reached
it, and if you plan to enjoy it, you probably will!


I have found that I actually do better in the CW contests than voice even
though my CW skills are rather modest. My personal all time best was on CW
and was double the number of contacts from similar contests on voice.

I think the fellow contesters are better behaved also. My own opinion.
