Subject:[Mldxcc] Sweepstakes - Mad River Radio Club

Along with the Southern California Contest Club, DFW Contest Group,
Contest Club Ontario, the Mad River Radio Club is very serious about
Sweepstakes.  As their website states, _Winning the SS Competition
remains an annual goal for the club_. 
Mad River has a very nicely written SS Handbook, for those of you
unfamiliar with the contest:

NCCC also has a Sweepstakes page, which has a wealth of information:

Last year, we won the gavel (although we have yet to actually see it).
 Unlike the CQP Club Competition, which we win year after year,
competing in the SS Club Competition is actually good sport, with
tough competition.  Winning the gavel last year was a tremendous
accomplishment for our club.
The usual clubs competing in the Medium Club Category, which limits a
club's entry to 50 logs total over two contests, were blindsided by us
last year.  We got away with it once, but don't expect SCCC, DFW,
CCO, and MRRC to be blindsided again.  They're all gunning for the
win this year.
The participants in last year's win included those listed below:

		AE6Y

		AF6SA

		K6BEW

		K6CSL

		K6DGQ

		K6DN

		K6III

		K6KNS

		K6LR

		K6LRN

		K6MM

		K6OK

		K6SCA

		K6ST

		KD6WKY

		KE6MOA

		KR6N

		N6JV

		N6RK

		N6XI

		N6ZFO

		NJ6G

		NZ6Q

		W1RH

		W1SRD

		W6BO

		W6OAT

		W6RKC

		W7RN

		WB6BET

		WC6H

		WD6EIW

		WK6I

		WX6V

I'm sending this because I may not be able to put in a serious effort
this year, due to complications involving my mother-in-law's house,
which is supposed to close at the end of the month.  Last year, I
contributed a bit over 300,000 points to our win and the last thing I
want to do is to hurt the club.  Unfortunately, I'm the Executor and
must do what I have to do.  Hopefully, some of you can work just a
bit harder to cover for points I may not be able to contribute this
year.
