[CQ-Contest] ARRL Sweepstakes

[Ken Adams K5KA]

This November brings the 74th running of the ARRL Sweepstakes Contest, 
arguably the premier domestic event in radiosport.  It is steeped in 
tradition and history, with an extensive awards program sponsored by 
individuals and the principal sponsor, Icom.  It is a genuine test of 
operating skills and rewards the very best.  The popularity of all our 
radio contests is directly related to the level of participation; The 
more players we have, the more fun we have.  So this year let's all try 
to get 1 new person to give SS a try, then acknowledge them at the next 
club meeting.

With just a little help from some of us veterans a rookie may take that 
first step and become a lifetime contester.

Good luck to all this year, and cu in SS !
