Hi OM;
I had noticed your call appearing in some of the printed results of =
ARRL/CQ contest in the past few years. Due to your participation in =
these contests I hope you find the rest of this note interesting.
In light of a recent ARRL Contest Advisory Committee/ Board of =
Directors ruling regarding contest club area(175mi radius ruling) to let =
clubs(mainly contest/dx clubs) decide whether to use a 175 mile radius =
or ARRL section as their membership domain had stimulated me to think =
that a contest club encompassing the whole ARRL Section might be an =
interesting and rewarding undertaking.
Here in North Alabama, Lauderdale and Colbert counties there is little =
contest activity. Jeff, N4YQ has been getting involved and I have =
started building a small multi-operator station which is 66% complete =
antenna wise. I had started to participate with the Tennessee Contest =
Group(TCG) out of the Nashville, Tn. area when the above mentioned =
ruling from the ARRL CAC came about. The TCG sentiment is that they =
will be changing their club geographical area to encompass the TN =
section which to me only seem right but puts me out of the group. This =
leaves me out in the cold as I am also 25 mile outside the 175 radius of =
the South East Contest Club(SECC). Since I have always enjoyed =
contesting(circa 1963) and belonging to a group of like interest =
amateurs .
I had contacted K4WI, Courtney Judd of Uniontown whom I have know for =
many years and discussed this idea with him. He jumped on board with =
some reservations which soon melted away as we discussed the =
possibilities of an organization solely to promote and sustain the =
interest/activity of contesting(competition) within the AL section. The =
discussion resulted in the following issues a club of this nature should =
address:
. Promote all forms of contesting
HF/VHF/UHF
CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK31 etc.
. Sharing of Technical expertise and experience
. Exchange Operating techniques
. Mentoring of interested amateurs(educate/train)
. Intra-club competition
. Regional/national Club competition (aggregate scores)
. Comradery and fellowship on and off the air
Currently with the efforts of Jeff, N4YQ there is a website which will =
allow any interested party to sign-up if interested. Jeff, Court and I =
are looking for ideas and suggestions in regards to all facets of the =
organization. There is currently no time frame to accomplish the =
finalization of the organization. We feel it will be driven by the =
interest of the amateur community within the section. We have discussed =
getting together at the three major hamfest in the section (Montgomery, =
Birmingham, Huntsville) in order to have some face-face meetings.=20
Please pass this information along to other active or interested =
amateurs. You can visit the start-up website, www.59al.org ,where there =
is contact information for either one of us.

with the efforts of Jeff, N4YQ there is a website which will allow any
interested party to sign-up if interested. Jeff, Court and I are looking =

organization. We
feel it will be driven by the interest of the amateur community within =
