About
North Coast Contesters
NCC was formed in
1989 to further the efforts of contesters interested in the CQWW and
ARRL DX contests. The member area of the club is a 175 mile circle that
includes major parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania and extends into western
New York.
Over
the the years NCC has
given back to contesting by encouraging members to compete in and enjoy
the major DX tests. Because of this NCC has won the medium club
competition in ARRL DX test 15 times and the past 8 years (Brag Page).
NCC
also has a presence at the Dayton
Hamvention,
cosponsoring the Contest Super Suite. We are proud to count K3LR, owner
and driving force behind the K3LR
M/M machine and recent inductee into the CQ
Contest Hall of Fame, as a member.
NCC
sponsors 5 plaques for ARRL
SS and 2 plaques for CQWW CW and SSB.
