[SCCC] Another SCCC gavel

[Wayne Overbeck]

The results of the 2012 ARRL UHF Contest are now online 
at ARRL.org.  It was a pretty good year for SCCC.

The club had an aggregate score of over 1.2 million
points, nearly four times the score of the #2 club, 
the Mt. Airy VHF Club in Pennsylvania.  The Potomac 
Valley Radio Club was third.

Individually, the top four rover scores nationally 
were posted by SCCC members N6NB, W6XD, W6TAI and 
N6EY (with W6TE).  N6MU was #5 nationally in the 
single operator low power category.
 
Maybe what is most amazing about this club effort 
is that it wasn't planned until a few days before 
the contest.  It was the Tuesday before the contest 
when we decided to rove.  On Thursday, N6MU agreed 
to get on at my home QTH--but just for long enough 
to work the rovers in four grid squares.  He was 
probably surprised to see that he was #5 nationally 
(out of 94 SOLP stations).  We were all a little 
surprised by how well this one turned out.

Once again, thanks to Field Marshall Art Goddard, 
W6XD, for his leadership and organizational skills. 

73, Wayne, N6NB
