This Weeks Contests and a TOP OP Challenge

Uncategorized

 

The last couple of weeks featured some good CW activity, This week we go to SSB and RTTY. 

This weeks Featured Contest is the North American QSO Party – SSB.  This is a fun contest and only 10 hours.  It is a great way to sharpen up, get back into the swing of things and check your station for the fall season quickly coming upon us. 

This week is another opportunity to be the Club Top Op.  Lets all get active for the NAQP and see who can ring up the most. Brian and Paul are always tough whos going to give them a run for their money.  I will post results next Monday.
