Nov 6th - 8th CW Sweepstakes
One of the favorite contest events of the year! SECC get ready to for some fun
competition.
One of our members suggested we setup teams for a little extra internal fun.
What do you think about that idea? Depending on the total number interested we
could have 4 or 5 people on a team.
Are you planning to participate in SS CW? Would you be interested in joining a
team? Let me know if you are and I will start a list. I would like to get
something going and make this a fun event for everyone. We are open for ideas
and I encourage discussion. We could blow the doors off this one and win the
ARRL Gavel? The SECC has won it before so we have the power. It's all up to
you. Sign up now!
Wait there's more: NA4BW, K4BAI, K1ZZI will sponsor one plaque each for SOHP,
SOLP and "Unlimited". How about plaques for QRP, Multi-Op? Or can you think
of another category of interest? Oops we will need more sponsors! No club
dues / nothing in the treasury. If you are interested in sponsoring a plaque
for a particular category just let me know. Plaques are $20 each and they are
very nice, first class. Same as our NAQP and GQP plaques.
