Brian: Contest operating is a great way to improve your code speed. You can listen to the station make multiple contacts and pick out the exchange - then call him. You will know what he will send, and you will be operating at a speed greater than normal. This is a good opportunity for you. Most contest operators will slow down for you. Don't be afraid to send QRS. And most important - have fun!
