We all learned a few things as he talked about his experiences in contesting. Nice job Randy.<u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">We continued the discussion and decided to get involved in this Saturday's North American QSO Party contest. (see previous thread?) This HF contest allows for Team Competition and so far, we have two partial teams started up..hoping for a third. There seemed to be some concurrence among a few Board members present that there could perhaps be some Club recognition to our highest scoring team and that this could be the start of many future contests and such within the club. As Randy explained, not all contests are HF frequencies. Many of his favorites were VHF. In fact, there are several VHF contests coming up soon that we can get involved in...and, I hear of our own HiDARG contest being developed for this year..all modes, all bands, all licenses...ask me, I'll share :)<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">So, here's the deal:<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">We can have up to five members on a team so we're looking for some more players.

So <b>we need some players</b>. Each member of a team operates from their own station (home/mobile/club trailer/borrowed). No experience needed, just a willingness to jump in and play. Maximum allowed operating time is 10 hours..but, you don't have to play all 10 hrs. If you only have a few here and/or there, that'll work just fine. The idea here is to just have some fun while playing in a contest. You don't have to use a special computer program for logging, paper logging will work (we'll easily convert it after the contest)<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Each team has to declare a Team Manager and their Team Name...Randy and I are the first two Team Managers...<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Names?
