January ARRL VHF Entry for XARC ?
|
Hello All,
Earlier in the year Brian published a history of the Rochester Cup and the outstanding performance of XARC in winning the ARRL club gavel in the medium club category in the 90s. Times have changed, but the fun of local contesting is alive and well in our area. Recent ARRL rules changes have made it easier for smaller clubs (called local clubs) to participate with rovers (mobile stations). It could be a fun activity to get a few club members at home and a few to go out as rovers to a couple of grid squares and see what your equipment can do. In the local club category, you are limited to 10 entries and the fixed stations must be within a circle with a 35 mile radius. That seems like the right entry class for XARC, though you can decide to center the circle anywhere you choose. There is a little bit of up front work to do with the ARRL, but I would be happy to do this if there is interest. I can also present at a club meeting later in the year to explain tips and tricks for increasing your score and possibly coming away with a winning club entry.?
Just an idea to consider that is available to all classes of operators.?

Below - 35-mile radius circle centered around Henrietta. Does this cover a majority of club members?
