Well, Dayton is upon us. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend but sure hope those that do have a great time.
AS soon as I figure out how to put pictures up I will be adding quite a
few especially from ND8L along with his girlfriend from VP9. The thing
is she is four legged so watch for this up and coming.
Our
contest year ended
officially at the annual K8AZ NCC party on January 7, 2012. The year
was good as NCC once again took the number 1 spot in the Medium Club
category of the ARRL DX test. We had 20 entries total (Down from 31 in
the previous year) for both modes garnering a total of 56 million
points (down from 58 the previous year)! NCC has taken 1st in the
Medium Club category for 15 times since 1990!
Next up is the ARRL DX phone
contest. After the scores are tallied from CW it looks like we have a
good chance of winning the medium club gavel yet again.
Claimed scores are about 27M for CW. Let's get out there and try to
make as many Q's as possible for NCC in t he phone portion. No matter
if you make a few or make a lot, they all go toward the clubs
final tally.
We
discussed changing some
plaque sponsorships and changes will be announced here and on the
reflector.
The
officers remained the same.
Tim, KQ8M, took over website duty from Dan, W8CAR. Thank you Dan for
all your hard work!
2012
dues are now due.
Please mail your checks to Reno, WT8C. Also please make the checks
Payable to Reno Tonsi. Please consider donating an extra $10
to help defray the costs the club sustains.
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.
