#SSB Contesting

SSB contesting covers HF contests held on phone, where callsigns and exchanges are spoken. Compared with CW, phone is more sensitive to accents, noise and similar-sounding letters, so clear speech and good phonetics matter. Popular events include the phone weekends of CQ WW DX, CQ WPX and ARRL DX. Typical topics are the choice of operating style, spoken exchanges, confirmation of callsigns and rate management. The articles under this tag are aimed at operators who want to raise their rate without raising their error count. They also explain how to review a phone log before it is submitted.
