[CTSARA] Reminder - SARA Meeting Tonight

[Jon Perelstein]

Our April meeting is tonight, April 6, at Stamford Govt Center (888
Washington Blvd in Stamford), 8pm, in the 6th floor Safety Training Room.

Our featured speaker will be Emily N1DID talking about contesting. Emily is
a contester par excellence and a member of the Yankee Clipper Contest Club
(YCCC).  Emily expects to be joined by Mike Loukides, the local rep of YCCC
and one of best contesters going (for the computer geeks among us, Mike is
also the VP of Content Strategy for a major publisher of computer technical
books and the author of a Java-based contest logger).

While you may not be a hard-core contester, it can be fun to push a little
and test yourself and your equipment.  Even if you're not a contester (or
don't think you are), contesting can be very useful for building up your
WAS and DXCC lists.  For example, a lot of hard-to-find DX is on the air
during contests.  Emily's presentation will focus on contesting at 100
watts with a wire antenna (which is all Emily uses) and how you can make
yourself more successful at getting the contacts you want to get.

Pizza 6:15 at John The Baker, 30 Long Ridge Rd in the Bulls Head Section.
