Making a club entry for a CQ WW/WPX contest is easy. Just get 4 entries to
put the same club name in the CLUB line of their log. Oh, and make sure
they all meet the rules for being within the circle (USA) or within the DXCC
country (DX).

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Participating in club competition
Hello all.
Quick question: How does one get their contest club recognized so that it
can participate in the various club competitions? North Pole Contest
Group would like to do that. Apparently there is a set of hoops to jump
through for ARRL contests. but is it different for CQ and other contests?
We'll never win anything, but we'd like to keep the club fresh, and keep
Alaska contesting growing.
Thanks,
Wigi, KL0R
