Urgent* Sat. Nov 12 Mtg Agenda item — our club’s ARRL Club Competition roster eligibility list submission update required by revised ARRL Contest Club rules is NOT current. We don’t presently appear on the updated list — see here: http://contest-clubs.arrl.org/viewlists.php

After thorough review of these very recently revised rules I suggest we now submit as a “Local Club” (10 or fewer log entries per event typically, NOT overall club members) to more accurately reflect our group’s make-up and geography (as our small membership resides pretty much entirely within the prescribed Local Club “circle” which includes all of RI and eastern CT, assuming a circle center on CT-RI state line at about Rt 165 [Grid Square FN41co]). In the rare case that more than 10 of our members submit a log for any individual contest, ARRL’s Log Checking software will now **automatically** upgrade our submissions to the “Medium” Club category *for that specific ARRL event only*.  But for the very significant majority of ARRL contests our club members enter, our CTRI CG should be categorized where we belong — as a “Local” contest club.

Since our revised roster submission doesn’t appear at all on the above indicated Club Competition eligibility list we need to take action ASAP to ensure our scores will count towards CTRI CG for all current/future ARRL contests…as of now they do not!  Further info from ARRL here: http://www.arrl.org/contest-club-tools
