#Band Strategy

Band strategy is the plan for which band to use at which hour of a contest. It depends on propagation, on your antennas, on the time of day and on where the multipliers are likely to be. This tag collects articles about reading your QSOs by hour and band, finding openings you missed and building a plan for the next contest from real numbers. Good strategy usually means fewer band changes at the wrong moment and more time on the band that pays best. Looking back at your own log is the most reliable way to improve it.
