Currently participating in my first contest

Well, it’s the Texas QSO Party weekend. I am not really a contest person, but as my family is away from the QTH this weekend, I thought I’d give it a try. I’m logging with WRL. Not sure I’ll have enough energy to continue on day 2 of the contest, but it’s certainly been worth trying at least once.

I hope you had a successful contest.

I registered for the contest but, unfortunately, propagation was not my friend. My EFHW wire couldn’t hear anything out of TX. :disappointed_relieved:

I, too, am new to the contesting world and have thought of just giving it a try and concerned that the whole thing won’t become overwhelming but I digress. My question is all these multipliers when it comes to computing the score, it appears no one has a complete example of how to calculate. have you found a site or an individual who has offered a better explanation to you yet??

Thanks,

Don
