Scott will explain what a contest is, why you might want to participate, and how to get in on the fun. He will also give specific information about two upcoming contests that are perfect for newcomers to try their hand at contesting: The ARRL DX SSB contest and the Wisconsin QSO Party. There should be plenty of time for Q&A as well.

Scott has been hooked on contesting since he won first place in Wisconsin during the Novice Round-up in 1980. In addition to contesting from home, Scott has operated contests from DX locations such as Guatemala, Curacao, St. Maarten, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii, as well as several large contest stations around the US.
