I sure hope that everyone doesn't have the same attitude about SS that AA4GA
has. If SECC
has a goal they will be shooting for I will be in there contributing to
reaching it. If not...then I
will watching football this weekend instead of operating in SS.
We did very good on CW weekend. If I did the numbers right -> 2.2 meg and
22
entries. That an average of 100K per entry. If we just had 14 entries of 100K
on SSB
we would equal the last years winning score of the SCCC 3.6 m with 36 entries
We have a very
good chance to win the SS medium category gavel. Past history indicates we
usually have fewer
entries on SSB then CW , so we should be OK as far as staying in the medium
class. Don't encourage guys to get on for a few hours just for the sake of it
to put us in unlimited class. Why shoot for mediocrity and last place in the
unlimited category ?
The SMC and NCCC will be out in numbers because they have bad blood between
them. Also
don't forget the PVRC and FRC. Plus, MRRC and the Minn Wireless have a
competition going
between them as well.
Fast forward to Dayton 2006 and the contest forum. Dan Henderson is
announcing the winning
clubs for the SS Club Competition and handing out the gavels. Wouldn't it be
cool if he says " Winner
of the medium class - The South East Contest Club" It's great for your club
to get that recogonition and in front of your contesting peers. Isn't this why
we belong to a contest club in the first place ???
I think someone should take another list to see who will be FT and who will
be just playing around.
We need to do this planning if we want to win the gavel....
