I have never been interested in that. Some of the awards are interesting, but I was in the military for many years bouncing around. It was difficult to work contests because of the locations where I was posted. I occasionally work 80m and 20m. I use either an 10-80 Easy Tenna I bought from ebay several years ago, or a home made dipole for nets and local rag chews.
Most of my work is with VHF because of range trips and hunting. I took an ancient Yaesu FT-101 to moose camp one year. I got it set up and never used it.
