[SECC] Nov 6th CW Sweepstakes - Sponsor Update

[Ralph K1ZZI]

Yes Jeremy you are correct about Rookie.  It doesn't matter how long you've been licensed just 2 years or less contesting.  We will need a minimum of two people competing in each category however.  In addition we should have a minimum of 20 signed up to make this worthwhile.  Good luck!

  Ralph,
  So the Rookie category is length of time contesting regardless of how long you have been licensed? Remember I have been a ham almost 20 years but only contesting for a little over 1 year.. If so I am gunning for that one!

    We had a very good response from volunteers willing to sponsor plaques for SSCW.  Here are the categories and sponsors:

    Rookie - Contesting 2 years or less - WB4MAK
    SOLP Tribander / Wires 40-160 (no yagis) - W4IX
    SOLP - K4BAI
    SOHP - NA4BW
    QRP - NT9K
    Unlimited - K1ZZI
            
                    Award Eligibility:
      a.. Signup - commit to contest and post score  
      b.. All SECC members in or out of Circle* 
      c.. Need minimum of 2 people competing per category 
      d.. Log 50 QSO's minimum 
      e.. Prior 2010 winners limited to one plaque annually 
      f.. SECC officers not eligible
    *Unlike the NAQP contest, the club aggregate score cannot include OP's from outside the SECC Circle for this contest,  
    however, we still want to provide award eligibility to all our club members regardless of your location.

    We will need at least 20 participants to support the investment of six sponsors.   Except for our sponsors there has been practically no response or input received from anyone.  Please reply by Nov 1st if you want to participate.  I will add you to the current big list of (2) contesters!

    Nov 6th - 8th CW Sweepstakes 


    One of the favorite contest events of the year! SECC get ready to for some fun competition.   
     
    One of our members suggested we setup teams for a little extra internal fun.  What do you think about that idea?  Depending on the total number interested we could have 4 or 5 people on a team.
     
    Are you planning to participate in SS CW?  Would you be interested in joining a team?  Let me know if you are and I will start a list.  I would like to get something going and make this a fun event for everyone.  We are open for ideas and I encourage discussion.  We could blow the doors off this one and win the ARRL Gavel?  The SECC has won it before so we have the power.  It's all up to you.  Sign up now!    
     


    Wait there's more:  NA4BW, K4BAI, K1ZZI  will sponsor one plaque each for SOHP, SOLP and "Unlimited".  How about plaques for QRP, Multi-Op?  Or can you think of another category of interest?  Oops we will need more sponsors!  No club dues / nothing in the treasury.  If you are interested in sponsoring a plaque for a particular category just let me know.  Plaques are $20 each and they are very nice, first class.  Same as our NAQP and GQP plaques.
