The beams are working great and the antenna switch is also very nice.All good suggestions.. We should document with pictures connections/cables and such needed for each radio and put in a notebook. Should be easy to do, perhaps an activity meeting? Lots of fun today! 73, Steve RE: ARRL 10 METER CONTEST - K1RCT - 12-14-2014 All good suggestions Joe. Also, aside from the SSB & CW Go Kits we should have an Accessory Bin for each Rig to better organize the SSB, CW & Amplifier Apparatus. This way when we set up for a Contest or whatever, ALL items pertaining to that (those) Rig(s) are with the rig. Also maybe a Training Activity at the Club on Amplifier & High Power Tuner Use. I'd like to be able to use the Amp during the ARRL DX Contest coming up and I think others would too. Contest Update: When Mike K1MVM started this morning, we had 70000 points accumulated. He is Operating CW and when we changed the N1MM+ mode to CW, the Band Map literally filled with red Multipliers. I think I saw Mike start to salivate!!! Also; when Joe & I went back up last night, Joe discovered a few blown fuses in the Power Pole Strip. The Voice Keyer malfunctioned for a few minutes before he found the issue. RE: ARRL 10 METER CONTEST - N1API - 12-14-2014 Guess it doesn't take much to get Mike all hot and bothered! Heard the club twice this weekend. Once yesterday and once today when they topped me in a pileup. I was looking for you calling so I could pounce on you for a contact.

I'm going to leave it in since we are not penalized for dupes (with an Electronic Log Submission). Eventually if we can add other members' score to ours: K1PU - 192896 N1API - 316220 W1CTN - 127660 W1NRG - 167860 Raw Total = 804636 I wonder if it's that simple. RE: ARRL 10 METER CONTEST - W1CTN - 12-16-2014 Rob, You don't have to do anything else. The sponsor of the contest, ARRL for this one, will combine the individual scores and list them in the club sidebar when the results come out. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that the individuals who operated from home enter the club affiliation properly in their logs. That's how the little old Italian man, "Mr. Cabrillo", at ARRL and CQ knows what club bucket to throw the respective logs into. 73 Dave W1CTN Radio Ansonia 203 735 9725 RE: ARRL 10 METER CONTEST - KC1BAQ - 12-16-2014 I believe the proper name for the club log is "MERIDEN ARC". Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. 73, Joe RE: ARRL 10 METER CONTEST - N1API - 12-16-2014 (12-16-2014, 10:05 AM)KC1ACN Wrote: After review, one dupe exists: W1AW/7 in CW. Yes correct leave the dupes in. And Jim has a small score to add but not sure of how much.

RE: ARRL 10 METER CONTEST - K1RCT - 12-16-2014 Well I think Steve is handling supplying ARRL with "Operators in Good Standing" document or maybe has done so already. He was working on it last night. ARRL needs that document (and three contributions per Contest) before any Meriden ARC Member can contribute points to The Club in a Contest. That's The Report anyway.

He was working on it last night. Yes, sent in names of all club members as of yesterday for Sweeps with name and call sign. Name of club is Meriden ARC. I submitted to the contesting folks as that / W1NRG. I haven't heard back from my contact at HQ (Matt) so I assume all is well. I'll be sending this same list to HQ contesting either Wednesday or Thursday (we have 30 days to submit...I assume they don't sift through the rubble of all the logs until 30 days is up). 73, Steve - KC1AXJ |
