Contesting

Contesting is an activity where amateur radio stations attempt to make as many two-way contacts with other stations as possible, following certain defined parameters of the competition, to maximize a score.

Over the years, I have guest operated at the following contest stations during a contest:

W5WMU
K5QE
KN5O (W5RU)
K5ER
KG5VK
K8AZ
K1TTT (via remote)

W5WZ is a charter member of the Louisiana Contest Club
