John Vogel (N1PGA) gave PART members a thorough introduction to contesting in the February 2008 monthly meeting. John, a member of the Yankee Clipper Contest Club covered everything from basic station setup to competing with the "big guns". It should be noted that several club members were inspired by the talk to get on the air for the ARRL DX SSB contest that was held just a few weeks later. Thanks, John!
