me, GA QSOs were a large part of Don in IL's log. This was the last FH

in Oct, I think. The scheduled dates are posted on the QRP Fox Hunt

ASAP if you want to participate and give him your expected power level

is a big CW Sprint contest that is held twice a year.
SECC (South East Contest Club) would like to invite all persons,
particularly in and around our club circles (as shown on the maps on our
website) to join our club and participate in contesting individually and
collectively. The ARRL circle of 175 miles includes almost all of GA,
most of SC, Western NC (including Charlotte and Asheville) and a small
part of Eastern AL. The CQ circle of 250 miles includes most of SC, all
of GA, east AL, northern FL, western and central NC, and eastern TN.
SECC was founded by the late Bill Fisher, W4AN, in the late 1990s to
encourage contest activity in our geographical area. You may not that
paragraph 5 of the By Laws require submission of at least two scores for
SECC to continue membership, but that provision has never been enforced.
We encourage you to submit your contest scores showing "South East
Contest Club" in your Cabrillo header after "CLUB:"
SECC has no dues, but members will be given the opportunity to volunteer
helping to pay for club sponsored plaques, internet expenses, expenses
of the GA QSO Party, etc.
Bill Fisher passed away in 2004 and his call, W4AN, is now held by SECC
as a memorial club call. The call has been used in multi op contests,
individually in contests and otherwise, and for a rover in many state
QSO parties. Look for W4AN/M to be QRV for part of the Alabama QSO
Party the second weekend in September this year. Any member who wants
to use the call can obtain permission from the custodian of the call
(now K4BAI and will be changed to KU8E) as long as a copy of the log is
provided to the custodian for QSL answering purposes. You can see a
copy of the club QSL card on the website.
Over the years, the club has had multiop stations competing at the
highest level of contesting, including N4RJ, W4AN, NQ4I, WW4LL, and
W8JI. At the moment WW4LL is the only multi op location being used as a
mutli single or multi two in our area on a regular basis and all the
WW4LL operating at this time is being done remotely.
Over the years, SECC members have founded the Alabama Contest Group, the
Swamp Fox Contest Group (SC), and the Georgia Contest Group.
Unfortunately for it, the GCG has recently indicated that it will
disband. Many of its members are also members of SECC. Those who are
not we hope will join SECC.
In past years, SECC has twice won the gavel that ARRL awards to the top
middle sized club through entries in the ARRL November Sweepstakes. With
the possibility of combining the scores of the former SECC members and
the former GCG members in one SECC club score, the opportunity will be
there for SECC to again compete for the middle sized club recognition.
This year, this is one emphasis for our club. We hope any of you who
are reading this and are inside the ARRL circle for SECC will join the
club, sign up for the reflector, operate in SS and submit your scores
for SECC. Other contests, sponsored by ARRL, CQ, and others will also
be entered.
If you are not sure if you are already a SECC member, go to the club
website: https://southeastcontestclub.com and look at the alphabetical
roster. Check to make sure that your Grid Square information is
correct. Check to see that you are on the ARRL contest list and your
grid square is accurately listed there. If you are not a member, there
is a link on the club webpage for an application to join. Please fill
it out and W4GKF, SECC secretary, will acknowledge it. Also on the
webpage, you will find a link to join the SECC groups.io reflector. You
don't have to join the club to join the groups.io reflector, but we'd
appreciate it if you would especially if your score could count for SECC
in upcoming contests. Some contests do not a geographical limitation
and teams that are entered in contests often include non members who
want to join a potentially winning team.
SECC, with the assistance of the Southeastern DX Club (centered in
Atlanta) sponsors the Georgia QSO Party the second full weekend in April
each year. This is one of the most popular state QSO parties, in part
because of the number of counties in GA (159), in part because of the
larger number of mobiles and rovers and portables active, and in part
because of the enthusiasm of the participants.
SECC originally had at least one in-person meeting per year to meet each
other and to elect officers. Other than that, it was mostly an
internet/reflector club. This year, the club has begun to have meeting
by Zoom every two months. The next one will be in October and the
subject will be the upcoming ARRL November Sweepstakes. Info on joining
the Zoom meetings will be provided on the groups.io reflector.
If you have any questions about SECC or contesting in general, you may
send them to me, K4BAI at k4bai at ku8e.com. Please do not reply to my
.att e-mail address because att is having problems delivering mail at
the moment. Or address them to the president, Jeff, KU8E at
ku8e at ku8e.com. Or just post them generally on the groups.io reflector.
There is a wealth of knowledge in the club and someone should be able to
help with most any question you have.
Hope everyone has a nice week and weekend and a lot of QSOs. Remember to
contact K4BAI about teams for CWOpen and KU8E about teams for NA Sprint
CW. 73, John, K4BAI. For SECC.
