Subject: North American Collegiate Radio Club Championship
Inaugural North American Collegiate Amateur Radio Club Championship
1. Object: For college and university stations in all ARRL and RAC sections
to participate in the ARRL November Sweepstakes and compete against other
college and university radio clubs.
2. Contest Rules: CW portion takes place on first full weekend of November
(Nov 5-7), phone portion takes place on third full weekend of November
(Nov 19-21). Both start on Saturday 2100 UTC and end on Monday 0300 UTC.
All rules, as stated in the October issue of QST, pertain to this
collegiate competition.
3. Station Location: In an effort to encourage club station improvements
all contacts must be made from the established club radio station
located on a college campus. No "portable" operation from a nearby
contest "super station". A club may operate from a member's station provided
that a club station on campus does not exist.
4. Results: Separate champions will be determined for CW, phone and combined
scores. Official results will be based on those published in QST so all
participants are required to submit a valid log to the ARRL. Participants
must also submit a score summary (the contest summary sheet, NOT a complete
log!) to the collegiate contest moderator. Provisional scores and winners
will be posted on the ham-univ and cq-contest mail reflectors by the moderator.
Send results to:
Internet: barron@rmc.liant.com
Mail: Robert Barron
P.O. Box 180703
Austin, TX 78718
5. Awards: To be determined. The ARRL has been asked to provide official
SS certificates to the top ten finishers.
This means:
1. Not limited to multi-op single transmitter if multiple ops not available.
2. Not limited to US stations only (though still North America only).
3. All club members allowed to participate (not just students).
4. Club station rule waived when no club station exists.
Jeff Tucker (N9HZQ) is keeping a list of college clubs that are planning
on participating in this year's Collegiate Championship. To add your club
to the list send Email (with your club's name and callsign) to:

CH> Last and FINAL TRY!! This is try #5!
OK, Hi Christy...Congrates on getting into I-net. Although I haven't lived
in Ventura County in a while, the Amateur Radio Club used to meet at the
Ventura Library, Downtown Ventura, once a month. They were all very friendly
and quite will to help me when I was starting out. If you are going for a Code
license, there is a shareware program called Morse Acadamy that is pretty good
for learning the code. Another one is called Super Morse.
Good luck and 73's Jim KA6TPR

Subject: W1AW steps on others?
I don't listen to the ARRL station, W1AW, but some of the local folks
do. Is it true that when their scheduled broadcast time comes they step
on any unfortunate enough to have a QSO going on that frequency? Is this
deliberate interference or to they have a right to the time/frequency
above all others?
