[SCCC] HUGE SCCC triumph in UHF test

[Wayne Overbeck]

The official results are now online at ARRL.org:

SCCC won the club competition in the 2010 August 
UHF Contest by an enormous margin.  SCCC's club 
aggregate score was over 3.5 million points.  Our 
nearest competitor, the Northern Lights Radio Society, 
had about 469K--barely one eighth of SCCC's score.

Thanks to everyone who took part in this contest.

Congratulations to Steve Katz, WB2WIK, who handily 
won the single operator low power category nationally, 
beating the perennial winner, K2DRH, in what became 
a battle of expatriate "twos."  (K2DRH lives in 
Illinois, Steve in SCCC-land.)  Steve, operating 
at N6NB's home station in grid DM13, scored almost 
180K to set a new Southwestern Division record, 
smashing the old division record of 15K.

In the rover category, both N6NB and W6TAI broke the 
old national scoring record, with scores of 517K and 
487K, respectively.  Both of us had individual 
scores higher than any club aggregate score in the 
country except for SCCC's.

The next VHF+ contest is VHF Sweepstakes in January.
We will need several more good operators to replace 
people who may be unavailable for various reasons.
We have plenty of rover stations available.  If you 
have ever run a good rate in phone (HF) sweepstakes 
and you are a good driver, SCCC needs you in 
VHF Sweepstakes!  If you'd like to help SCCC kick 
some eastern (and northern) butts in VHF SS 2011, 
please email me.

73, Wayne, N6NB
