To all,
It appears Sweepstakes was a successful club activity.
If there is any interest the 10 ARRL 10 meter contest should also provide the same or hopefully a greater level of fun. It both SSB and CW so folks could operate the mode they prefer, or both.
Better temporary antennas would be needed, 10 meter yagis fixed or rotatable would be the way to go. They are small and effective.
Since it is a single band contest the club should consider using the linear amp, it would be like using a solid state amp as retuning would not be necessary with resonant antennas. It would be a pushbutton contest.
Our operators would have a real commanding signal.
Just my .02 cents
