Article: While the efficacy of fans during extreme heat and humidity has been debated, some research suggests fans are beneficial up to 97F (36C) with 80% humidity, and 108F (42C) with nearly 50% humidity. Whether hand-held or electric, fans can keep you cool by continuously circulating air. In your home and office space, locate fans in rooms where you are working or resting to keep the air circulating freely and to reduce the mugginess of heat. Try making your own "swamp cooler." These evaporative coolers can reduce temperature by significant amounts. They range from the simple (i.e. a bowl of chilled water in front of a fan) to the semi-complex. With just a few PVC pipes, a bucket, an electric fan, and a frozen gallon of water, you can create mid-40F (4C) wind. However, keep in mind that swamp coolers will not work with humid heat. A fan should not be the primary source of cooling down in extremely hot weather. Fans work well, but only if the weather is not too hot. Even if your home does not have central air, placing a small window air conditioner in one room of your home may help to keep it cool during the summer. For example, you could place the air conditioner in the room where you spend the most time, such as the living room, kitchen, or your bedroom. You can also try running the air conditioner at the highest comfortable temperature to avoid racking up a high electricity bill. Visit public buildings if you don't have adequate air-conditioning at home. A few possible locations to avoid the heat: The library is a great place to get cool and learn new information. Grocery stores are air conditioned well. And if it's particularly hot, visit the freezer section and peruse for a while. The sun's rays convert to heat. However possible, you should block the rays coming into your house to keep the temperature down. Closing curtains, lowering shades, or even blocking windows can significantly reduce the heat in your house and keep it cool. Awnings work as well, because they keep the direct heat off the windows without blocking out all light. Changing the color of your roof can decrease the temperature in the house. Cooler colored roofs are approximately 50 degrees lower during hot summer months. You can put a special coating on your existing roof to lighten the color, or replace the traditional darker shingles with a lighter color. If you are interested in getting a special treatment for your roof to reduce the temperature in your home, then contact a roofing professional to find out about your options. You might want to wait until you need to replace your roof to make these changes. Better insulation means less heat in the summer. If your house is hot, you can cool down easier with better insulation. Less crevices and avenues for the air to escape means the cool air stays inside. Ensure there is some air between insulation and roofing material.

Use fans. Use air conditioning. Close curtains and blinds. Minimize the effects of sunlight on your roof. Insulate well.
Article: You may want to store the numbers to your favorite radio stations in your phone so you can always be ready to call and not be searching for the number. Don't let the radio become background noise. Pay attention to when the contest happens. Call exactly when you are told to call. Don't start too early because your call won't go through and you could miss out on the actual calling time. When you hear about a contest that a station is offering, put a reminder in your calendar or phone to alert you to call. You can even set an alarm to go off ten to fifteen minutes before the station comes on to help prepare you. Digital watches, cell phones, and email accounts usually offer easy-to-use reminders. Grab your cell phone and house phone and use them simultaneously. Have your family and friends call in for you too. As soon as you hear a busy signal, hang up and re-dial. Don't just try once and hang up. Use the redial button if you can't get through on your first try. Those few seconds spent redialing manually will reduce or likely eliminate your chances of being the correct caller. Be persistent and keep trying. The people who win a lot of radio contests, play a lot of radio contests. People do get through, and you never know when a phone line will open up, so don't let the busy signal discourage you. Don't call into the business office or reception. It is not a sneaky way to get around the busy signal and you may miss your chance at winning. The only phone number you can win a prize at is the one that you hear the radio station give out on the air or the one that is listed on the website. Be optimistic and understand your chances are just as good as someone else's chance. If you never try, you will never win. You will not win every time, but with effort it may happen. Just don't give up and remember to have fun. It can be frustrating when you get a busy signal and you've tried multiple times, but there are contests everyday so be persistent. You can't win if you don't play.

Be ready to call and dial in fast. Set up reminders to call. Seek out ways to call in from multiple sources. Play as often as you can. Make sure you're calling the right number. Have the right mentality.
