"This year saw the NCCC enter (and win) in a category that heretofore  
had not been entered in the RTTY Roundup — Unlimited Club. The Potomac  
Valley Radio Club (PVRC) captured the Medium Club competition again  
this year in a tight race with the Society of Midwest Contesters  
(SMC). And in the Local Club category it was the Orleans County ARC  
beating out the Eastern Washington ARG.
