and ears will silently come to your aid in the heat of a contest event.
Here are some randomly ordered ideas worth exploring:
- Work multiple/numerous contest events throughout the year
- Call CQ a LoT
- On CW and RTTY verify that your CQ calls are actually generating RBN spots.
- When allowed by contest rules, take advantage of self-spotting (Ctrl-S in DXLog).
- ALWAYS send/say your callsign SLOWLY and SUCCINCTLY.
- Sending at 25WPM creates more callsign recognition than 35WPM.
- Promote your callsign on social media
- QRZ.com
- FACEBOOK
- YouTube
- 3830Scores.com
- WQ6X.Blogspot.com
- ToasTmaster meetings and RADIO CLUB events
- Using 1x1 callsigns (for specific events) can create an autocorrelation
which we can "cash-in" a year from the current event.
The above thoughts and musings are just some of the more obvious callsign recognition ideas.
What do YOU say / do to bring about callsign recognition?
