SUMMARY:ARRL RTTY Roundup Contest
DESCRIPTION:The first RTTY contest in 2019 from W4TA is the ARRL RTTY Roundup which starts Saturday\, January 5th at 1800 UTC or 1:00 PM local. We will also welcome any other club member who would like to try their hand in a digital contest. \nThis is a 30 hour contest in which we can operate 24 hours.  This means we will be working Saturday and Sunday.  Both of our stations will be active\, so we need lots of bodies to fill the operators chairs. If you would like to join the action let me know ASAP as first responders get the choice spots. Need to know the day or days and times of availability. \nSPARC has entered this contest many times and done very well.  Come on out and join the crew. \n73 Ron KP2N\n“RYRYRYRY” \nRelated Images:

SUMMARY:ARRL Sweepstakes SSB Contest
DESCRIPTION:ARRL Sweepstakes SSB Contest (November 17-18\, 2018)\n\nDates: Saturday\, November 17th @ 4:00 PM EST through Sunday November 18 @ 10:00 PM (Times will vary though)\nContest: ARRL Sweepstakes SSB\nGoals: To work as many other stations in both the US\, train operators and have fun.\nNotes: This is a challenging contest due to a longer exchange than the standard 599. Our goal is generally to obtain a clean sweep where we work at least one station from every ARRL section. We also have the ability to use 160m in this contest so that may come in handy for the close in states like South Carolina. This is also the first contest in the new shack location and with the new Elecraft KPA-1500.\nRESULTS:\n\nRelated Images:
