Hello Folks,

As part of my effort to document our club, I added a post on our website
about our involvement in the Rochester Cup, and subsequently winning the
ARRL Gavel for the 1993 Medium Club category in the January 1993 VHF
Sweepstakes.? A lot of club members participated to make it happen, but
it is nice to reflect on this achievement 30 years later.? Stan Avery
WM3D was our high scorer, which was a bit of a surprise to me, though I
admit I didn't really know Stan.



and you can easily get to it on the home page:

My memory is limited, but if others wish to add to this story, it would
be great.? One can comment on the Post, but you need to login.? If you
were registered at one time, but don't know password, try the forgot
password links.? If you were never registered, try to register.

Or you can email me your comments and I will get them in somehow.

WordPress is the website/blogging software we use, so don't be surprised
to see that popup, as they handle all of the authentication for the website.

Just wanted to acknowledge Barry Ricket's contributions to the Rochester cup.? Barry recognized that the multiplier relationship to percentage of club member participation favored our smaller club and really pushed the members to participate .? Which gave us a higher score.
