I'm an active contester and you'll find me in the SSB,
CW and RTTY pile-ups (I hope!).
Contesting is great fun though I do have to walk a
tightrope between family commitments and the intensity contesting requires.
I use contesting software (N1MM) and a foot switch,
both of which are essential for competitive contesting work.
