TI1R was also QRV with mostly SECC members, but I haven't seen a claimed 
score yet.  Bob, please post to the reflector so everyone can see the 
score and the breakdowns.  Others were no doubt QRV, but these are all I 
have found at this time.

This Week's Contests:

1.  NCCC sponsored SS CW Practice Sessions:  160-40M Thursday and Friday 
nights local (Fri and Sat 0230 to 0300Z).  Usual SS rules and exchange. 
  Good idea to get on for one of these to make sure everything is ready 
for CW SS on Saturday.  Report your scores to the 3830 Score Reporting 
page.

2.  Ukrainian DX Contest.  CW and SSB.  12Z Sat to 12Z Sun.  160-10M. 
Exchange:  RS(T) + serial # or 2 letter oblast abbreviation.

3.  ARRL SS CW.  21Z Sat to 03Z Sun.  Note that the local time is one 
hour later than we have been accustomed to in most prior years.  Times 
are 5 PM EDT Sat to 11 PM EDT Sun, since we haven't yet switched back to 
standard time.  24 hour max.  30 min. minimum off times.  Exchange: 
Serial #, Precedence (most of us will be A, B, or Q depending on 
power--respectively LP, HP, and QRP), Call, last two digits of year 
first licensed, and ARRL section.  Hope everyone can enter and 
contribute to club aggregate scores.  Remember that SECC has won the 
medium club gavel twice.  The aggregate scores count both the CW and SSB 
weekends.

4.  Adventure Radio Society November Spartan Sprint.  0100-0300Z Tuesday 
(Mon night local).  160-10M CW QRP 5W or less.  Exchange:  RST + SPC + 
power output.  This contest is again reporting scores and I hope will 
again be very popular.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend and a lot of QSOs.  I will probably 
operate some in the Ukrainian contest before SS starts.  Hopefully, I 
can make some arrangements to avoid conflicts and can be fulltime in SS 
CW.  SO1R again, but I hope to have the SO2R setup going again (for CW 
at least) soon.  I should be full time in the Spartan Sprint and I hope 
others will join in that fun event.  Just use your logging program in 
the QRP contest mode and your score is submitted on the honor system.

73,  John, K4BAI.
