I am very excited to announce, that after several weeks of significant effort by your 2009/2010 officers and our superb new webmaster, Chaz Cone W4GKF, the NEW, IMPROVED and REFRESHED SECC web site is now up and running! We have even tweaked the SECC logo.

My goal was to have a site that provided for 'one stop shopping' for the SECC member and several excellent suggestions have been incorporated into the new site.  My personal thanks to a great slate of officers for your valuable input and an extra special thanks to Chaz who has done a tremendous job in getting the site where it is today. Please take a look around -   secc.contesting.com  - and let me know what you think - good, bad or otherwise.

Also, for those that attended our annual meeting back in August, one of my announced goals was to make available for purchase a good quality shirt for our members that would leave no doubt as to your contest club affiliation. I am pleased to announce that we have located a suitable vendor for this endeavor. You will have the ability to order the shirt in all sizes. You can have your name and call as well as the new SECC logo embroidered. The shirt prices will vary based on the total club order, but expect to pay ~ $30 per shirt. Once we have received all the names, calls and size information we can get the final pricing locked down. 

Your Vice President, Ralph Bates K1ZZI has volunteered to help me with gathering your names and shirt sizes, so if you desire to purchase a shirt(s) go ahead and email Ralph (not me!)  your information. And don't wait around.

We will use October 31, 2009 as the deadline to send Ralph your name, call and shirt size infromation (that's  > 3  weeks from today) so PLEASE if you want the shirt - get your information to Ralph before that date. Soon after October 31,2009 we will  firm the order pricing with the vendor, based on the total club order, and advise your specific charge and instructions for payment. The costs do vary a bit as the larger shirts 2X, 3X and 4X are a couple of $$ more than the S -XL. You can view the shirt that will be ordered by clicking the link below:

It will be GREAT to see our club brethren at hamfests and other activities wearing our new shirts. Make a statement and order 1 today.

Thanks for your attention and I hope that you have BIG plans for some of the very best contests of the year that are right around the corner. If not - why not? 

The CQWW SSB begins 0000z October 24 (that's Friday evening October 23 - 8pm local) and runs 48 hours. Also don't forget - the SECC wants the Gavel back in 2009. Make sure you have plans to operate the ARRL Sweepstakes this year and not just a few hours - multiple hours or the full 24 because that is what it will take for us to recapture the Gavel . The SECC won the gavel 2 years in a row not too long ago and it's time bring it back where it belongs!. 

Will your club be able to count on your participation? I promise I'll be in there.
