Subject: [w4aql-members] Sweepstakes SSB at W4AQL - Operators Needed!

 

Dear all, 

This weekend is the ARRL November Sweepstakes SSB contest. The SS SSB
contest has traditionally been our most participated event of the year, and
since it’s a domestic phone contest, everyone (student, faculty, staff, and
alum!) can have fun no matter their experience in radiosport. I encourage
everyone to stop by the shack (Van Leer E496-A) this weekend, catch up with
old and new friends, and get on the radio! Dinner will be provided on
Saturday, and lunch and dinner will be provided on Sunday. 

The contest runs from 2100 UTC (4pm EST) Saturday to 0259 UTC (10pm EST)
Sunday, but you need not be present for the entire duration. We plan to be
off-air from 0600 UTC (1am EST) to 1200 UTC (7am EST) to satisfy the 24 hour
max operating time requirement. Contest rules can be found here:
http://www.arrl.org/sweepstakes

If you are driving: the closest parking to the Van Leer building is Visitor
Area 4, at the intersection of State St and Ferst Dr. 

If you are new to contesting, please read the contest tips here, courtesy of
the Potomac Valley Radio Club:
https://www.pvrc.org/Files/ARRL%20Sweepstakes.pdf. I will also be at the
shack an hour before the contest starts to set up the station and answer any
questions you may have. 

The club will be participating in the school category as usual. For the past
few years, in both CW and SSB, we've come in second behind Hesston College,
KØHC, in Kansas. We would like all hands on deck! If you are interested in
participating, please let me know about when you plan to come. 

If you’re not in the W4AQL Slack workspace, please use this link to join:

as we will be discussing contest logistics in the #contesting channel. 

Hope to see many of you there! Go Jackets, beat Hesston!
