#Contest Goals

Contest goals are the targets an operator sets before a contest, ideally based on data from earlier logs instead of on a hoped-for score. Good goals concern things the operator can influence: hours operated, rate in the best hours, multipliers per band and the number of corrected callsigns. They are often written as a floor, a target and a stretch level. The articles under this tag explain how to build a baseline, find the biggest gap, allow for propagation and review the result with the same figures afterwards. The approach turns statistics into steady, measurable improvement.
