#Continents

Amateur radio contests group stations into seven continents, and the continent breakdown of a log shows where your contacts came from. It reveals how well your antennas and your timing worked toward each part of the world. This tag collects articles about reading QSOs by continent, comparing the picture with earlier years and spotting openings that you did not use. Together with countries and zones, the continent view is one of the quickest ways to see strengths and gaps in a station. It is especially useful when you plan antenna changes or operating schedules.
