  • January Contests

    From Rug Rat@1:135/250 to All on Sun Jan 4 17:50:02 2026
    Anyone planning on doing any contesting this month?

    I missed the ARRL RTTY Roundup! :( as I was not looking at the calendar.

    I plan on working the NCJ North American QSO Party on the 17th!

    We did OK last year with 143 QSOs and 84 Multipliers for a score of 12,012 points! So we have a score to beat!

    Get the radio's out and the antenna's tuned!

    If you want to compete amongst BBSs, send me an email and I will keep a lookout for you when the scores are published, and will repost the results.. :)

    You know, I'm not really much of a contester -- I just happen to see one happening, so I'll hop on and grow my log book. I really should plan for them.

    This might be a fun new thing for me to do!

    Like you had mentioned in another message, I just wasn't on the radio much over the past couple months, outside of running the local 2-meter net. I need to do better.
