Once again KT4ZB put out a call for some ops from the Coastal Amateur Radio Society (CARS) in Savannah  to set up a Multi-Single entry for the ARRL10 meter contest.  This was a continuation of the training for new operators similar to the past two years.  We had a few experienced operators and some newbies.  The entry was SSB only and low power.

 

Operators this year included Kevin, KW4B, Bill, K4WP, Chuck, N4KKD, Ken, W4JKG, Lowell, NY4D, Sue, W4SWJ, Paul, KC2NYU and Jere, KT4ZB.  KW4B led the way with 254 contacts. Several other CARS members were by to socialize and enjoy the holiday season.

 

Conditions were very good here and we were early into Europe. Best hour rate was 73.  Some of the nifty DX included KU9C/VP9, Bermuda, OA4SS, Peru, HZ1GD, Saudi Arabia, OD5ZZ, Lebanon, PZ5RA, Suriname, SV3DCX, Greece, TC3P, Asiatic Turkey, KH2L, Guam and ZS6RJ, South Africa,  We finally had a JA opening on Sunday late and worked a number of JAs to go with several VKs and ZLs. The group worked 9 of the XE stations.

 

The station worked just under 600 contacts recording 41 states, 9 of the Canadian provences, 8 Mexican states and 71 different countries.  There's a big smile on my face as my “boys & girls” got some experience with both the radio and N1MM. 

 

Thanks to the contest committee for sponsoring the contest.  Only thing I'd like to change is to break out the M/S to M/S SSB, M/S CW and M/S Mixed.

 

Merry Christmas and cu on the bands - Jere, KT4ZB
