I had a lot of fun working this 160 Contest. I went in it casually to see how much fun I could have using my old FT-757GX radio on top band. You don't need the Latest and Greatest Radio to have fun Contesting. I find that simple little FT-757GX to work great for Contesting. Settings I use Fast AGC, RF Amp off and Full QSK setting. That is were the FT-757 shines the QSK at normal 20 t0 25 WPM speeds I like is great. I love the part of the Pile-up I hear while sending and am amazed when my call comes back to me and work that station. Yaesu's Classic Shift & Width works wonders pulling wanted stations out of the "Mud". -- VE7BGP
