I'm still trying to decide what to do. I do a fair bit of
contesting,
and KB3EIA is quite a mouthfull at those times. It's not too bad CW
wise
(tho I haven't done CW contesting - maybe if I ever get good enough)

The way to get good at it is to jump in and do it anyway. The way to
start
is to listen to one station over and over until you finally pick out
the
information and then to through your call sign in. Also never
hesitate
to
send "PS QRS" when necessary. You can even specify the speed with "PS
QRS
10" or whatever you are comfortable with. Most will slow down.
I'm not particularly good at it myself but am running about 50% CW
contacts
on the ongoing California QSO party.

Good for you Dee D. I played in it myself. Got 147 phone and 194 on
CW.

Although it was running about even most of the contest, later the voice
bands picked up and I ended with 95 voice and 78 CW.

Great job Dee D. Wish I would have known you were on. I would have given
you a listen.
Hey Sweepstakes is my all time favorite contest. Ill be on CW for sure.
And maybe phone also.
Two diff weekends.
