What’s it like to work a ham radio QSO party or contest? | Ham Radio

This video I show some short clips of me working the Mississippi QSO party and I put them together to show you a little about what takes place if you are new to contesting on HF. Generally it’s the same process, you see a upcoming contest that you would like to work as a contest Station. First thing is to read the rules and know the exchange for the contest, they can be different for each one.

I didn’t grab many recordings while I worked the QSO party, I worked about 8 hours out of 12. There was some down times where I got no answers to my CQ and then there was rapid pile ups.

ABOUT MY CHANNEL
My channel is about Ham or Amateur radio. I cover stuff such as Live streaming while on the radio so you can hear what your signal sounds like at my station, news or reviews on radios, gadgets, etc I use in my shack, and projects, or tinkering I call it, where I’m making something from scratch or attempting to repair something hoping it don’t end in smoke.
