Club Competition Update

Last weekend’s competition was the ARRL’s Sweepstakes CW contest. 47 MWA’ers turned out to hit the airwaves. When the dust settled, it appears that 85,000 was the magic number. Four MWA stations (AA0AW, K0MPH, N0BUI & N0UR) all scored 85,000 points! We’re trying to figure out what the magic score will be for SS Phone!

We now start the busiest part of our contest season. We usually have four contests in four weeks. Thanks to November sharing a weekend with December, we have a week off in the middle! Sweepstakes Phone is this weekend. Let’s all dust off the microphones and run up a great club score!

Good luck to all!
