-
- 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:
- tucker@eedsp.gatech.edu

- 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?
