the proper number in the middle of a contest.

KEY” and “CONTEST”.

Advice: Press the [CLEAR] button (located at the upper right of the [SELECT]
knob) to reset the Contest Number to “1”.
4. Press and hold the [MENU] button for two seconds more to store the new number
and exit.

You may also utilize the CW message capability of the FT-950 from the optional FH-2

Five memory channels capable of retaining 50 characters total are provided (using the
PARIS standard for characters and word length).
