Great Contest University Video from 2013

Each year, the day before Hamvention starts, there's a couple of "specialty" events going on in Dayton.  FDIM and Contest University are just 2 of them.  I have not yet attended Contest University but you don't really have to in order to get the goods - they have posted videos of the presentations from last year!  Some of the stuff is not really applicable to the modest, home station, but there are a lot of great tips on operating techniques and tips & tricks that can make contests more fun and rewarding for even the more casual operators.  Check em out!
