Monthly Activity Newsletter ? November 2011
Jim Roberts VE7ZO
It was terrific to see the SECC activity in the CQ WW SSB and the SS CW this
past weekend. Many personal bests and just good fun! Next up will be the SS
Phone and CQ WW CW with conditions expected to improve even further. (See
solar activity below)
The W4 CQ WW Records are attached for your reference. With a few exceptions,
the records have dates around the last solar cycle peak, so with today?s better
equipment plus skimmer, many of these records are ripe for the picking. Some
QRP categories have no previous entrants so with a little effort, they could
populated by the SECC in 2011.
CQ WW SSB - 3830 Reports:
40 entries submitted to date! Don?t forget to send in your scores with club
affiliation.
ARRL SS CW ? Logs Received:
So far logs received from AA4GA, AE4O, AE4Y, K1ZZI, K4BAI, KN4QD, N4DU, N4PN
2010 CQ WW CW Results:
Big score from N4PN on 40M led the US with 1934/38/140 ? Congrats to Paul who
now holds the US 40M records on both SSB and CW! Paul also had an outstanding
effort during this year?s CQ WW SSB test with a 15SB entry on 1,032,120 with
1986/40/148. This is ahead of Lee?s AA4GA previous W4 record set in 1999 and
K2SS/1?s US record set in 2000.

CQ WW CW test.
NQ4I: Rick and company made a big splash in the CQ WW SSB with 16.5M and
raised the overall W4 M/M record with individual station QSO records on 10M and
40M. Rick has his sights on the CW 13.9M W4 record now held by K7GM/4. SECC

W4DD, and Rick NQ4I will be QRV.
W8JI: A new set of phased beverages at Tom?s will improve the already
outstanding low band receiving capabilities at the station. Expect to hear a
multi effort from W8JI during the upcoming ARRL 160 test.
K1ZZI: Ralph plans to be active in both the CQ WW CW test and SS Phone to help
contribute towards the SS gavel competition. Good results from the CQ WW SSB
for Ralph as he made 3.8 million assisted just working S&P.

Other News:
WRTC 2014: John, K4BAI is still seeking commitments for sponsoring one of the
50+ operating tents during the WRTC 2014. Cost is $1,000 and we have already
had preliminary contributors pledging over half that amount; a great way to
help the organizers and raise the SECC visibility. Let John know if you are
interested in helping us sponsor this worthy event.

their stations. There is a nice section of the website dedicated to shack
photos.
