________________________________________________
It was an honor and a privilege for the Tennessee Contest Group (TCG) to
operate W1AW/4 during the IARU contest. We thank Dave Sumner, K1ZZ, for
giving us the opportunity. As a medium size club with a large and oddly
shaped geographic territory (the state of Tennessee,) we faced some
interesting challenges. Some of our members live 500 miles apart and
our membership is not evenly distributed throughout the club territory.
Most of our members reside in the central to eastern sections of the
state. Even so, distances between most member stations easily exceed
100 miles.
Decisions were made early on to cover both modes on all bands with the
loudest stations available throughout the full 24 hour contest period
consistent with a geographic distribution that would maximize club
member participation. We achieved that goal and with nearly 9,000 QSOs,
far exceeded our operating expectations for this point in the solar
cycle. Seven (7) operating locations were utilized. Fifty (50) TCG
member ops and friends contributed in one fashion or another. Special
thanks are given to the families who let us play radio again just two
weeks after Field Day.
