WPX CW Operations – 2015

CTRI’ers;

If you are going to be on the air for this weekend’s WPX CW contest, please post a comment under this post with where/when you will be operating AND what call sign you will be using, so the rest of us can 1) know you’re on, 2) who you are, 3) what band you’re on, and thus we can spot you.  This will be a big advantage for those of us who are operating.

Thanks, and good luck.  Mike, K1DM

MIL-C-17E RG11

If anyone has a need for some 75 ohm RG11, I have a coil of about 180 feet available. It is marked “M17/6 – RG11  MIL-C-17E 77314 Plastoid Corp.” It is not brand new, but it has always been stored inside and has never been used and is in good physical condition.

If anyone wants all of it or a part of it, make me an offer.

Clicking on the “TOTALS” tab at the bottom of the window will take you to a summary of the handicapped scores for the season. The spreadsheet is an Excel 97-2003 format and can be viewed or downloaded by clicking on the link below. The next contest in the series is the CQ WPX CW Contest the last weekend of the month.

Meeting Notice — May 16, 2015

It’s that time again. If you are familiar with the interactive meeting notice skip down to “Topics“. This is an interactive meeting notice. What, you may ask, is an interactive meeting notice? As the phrase suggests, it is a meeting notice which requires interaction by the readers. For example: we need to have topics for presentation at the meeting; we need presenters; we need volunteers to provide lunch; we need to know who is coming to the meeting so the quantity of lunch portions may be determined, and so on. This post will be updated as interactions (comments) are appended.
