Repeater Information: W0UK 146.76 (-) | CTCSS 88.5 Hz

Next weekend is the CQ WPX Contest! If you're planning to participate and submit a log, you'll probably want to use a contest logging program. Logger+ is the most popular logging program used by contesters. It is available for Windows computers from their website - https://n1mmwp.hamdocs.com. The program is easy to use in contests, and has a lot of features to help you succeed, such as a built in keyboard-CW keyer and lots of log analytics. It can tell you where that DX station that you need is working, and then you can click on the callsign and it will bring your radio to the exact frequency (if CAT control is configured).

Download it and try using it!

Here's the correct answer from Monday night's question! If you participated with us, thank you!

You always want to have a backup frequency in case there's unintentional interference on your frequency or there's not good propagation between the net stations. So the correct answer is C!
