Dear Fellow Contestors,

Northern California Contest Club (NCCC) invites you to join us on *Saturday,
August 9th, 2025 from 1900Z to 0300Z (noon–8pm Pacific)* for a special
on-air event — the *NCCC 55th Anniversary Fiesta*!
This is *not a contest*, but a *festive operating event* open to *all
amateurs*, regardless of club affiliation. Whether you operate *CW, SSB, or
RTTY*, we hope you'll jump on the bands and help us mark this milestone in
NCCC’s storied history.
*Event Highlights:*

*All Modes Welcome:* CW, SSB, and RTTY — no separate categories
-
*Convenient Bands*: 15M, 20M, 40M

*Power Categories:* QRP, Low Power, High Power — for both members and
non-members

*Simple Exchange:*
-
NCCC Members: State + year joined

Non-Members: State only

*Insert Fun banter here if you would like.*
-
*Repeat as desired.*
- *Fun to Call CQ*: Call CQ 55, CQ Fiesta, CQ NCCC.

Top single-op scores in each power category (member and non-member) win
a *$55 Visa gift card*!
No logs required. Just post your claimed score to *3830scores.com

ko6m@arrl.net if needed). A custom *N1MM UDC file is *available here:
https://bit.ly/4opB0l3 but any logger is fine. There is a member list
which goes in the SUpport Folder and the UDC file which of course goes in
the User Defined Contests folder.

More details, including history of the club and how to volunteer as a bonus

Hope to hear you on the air and celebrate this great milestone together — *CQ
Fiesta!*
