Within the SECC we have ops that fall into each category. Where do you fit?  I'll let you guess the group that had the largest tally for 2009.
 
I would challenge  you to take a step up the ladder for your club  in 2010. Will you make that commitment?
 
To our newest members - I would especially encourage you to find a contest(s) below and make it a point to get on the air, whether for 1 hour or the full duration. Then submit your score for the SECC and LET ME KNOW how it went for you. We have many mentors in the group and by sharing your experiences we can all benefit.
