Contest Exchange (report) is Number (from log) category M Call W0EF check 82 sect MN
So you would give to contact 100 :
100 M W0EF 82 Mn
You want the same report back from them IE
323 B WB0N 77 MN is what I would send (if you were my 323rd contact.
Also remember we are a multi op but only 1 xmitter can be on at a time . So the idea is station 1 is the run station (meaning stays on the same frequency and keeps calling cq hence running)
And station 2 is the search and pounce station. Meaning you look around on a different band than station 1 is on for new stations/mults to work. When you find 1 motion to the op on station 1 you have 1 to work. He then pauses while you quickly work them. Remember quickly so the run station doesnt lose his frequency.
