Soapbox : We had company over the weekend - our 25th anniversary - so I had
to find a way to do this with a chance of a sweep. I decided to do SOA HP
UNLIMITED - all S&P and try for an  80/80 sweep. Not a good choice, as I
think I spent more time in the shack than Ruthie would tolerate.

I got the sweep, but at what cost? I wound up needing WNY for the last one,
and fortunately found W2BC  on 15 meters on my own! Now I guess I'm forced
to buy a cup! Maybe I'll use it to make up with Ruthie. Think she'll go for
that deal??

N1MM has me down for 7 1/4 hours of operating, but I'm sure it was more than
that hunting the sections that didn't wind up on the cluster.

  I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations
  established for amateur radio in my country. My report is
  correct and true to the best of my knowledge. I agree to be
  bound by the decisions of the Contest Committee.

Hello all...

As I mentioned on the net last night, here are the 60 meter  changes that
will take place in December.

73,
Don
W4WJ

60 METERS CHANGES. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission released  a
"REPORT AND ORDER" on November 18, 2011, with new 5 MHz rules for  the
Amateur Radio Service. The effective date is 30 days after  publication in
the Federal Register. Some of the FCC changes are to now allow  Phone (Upper
Sideband), RTTY, Data, and CW; with specific limitations on  the use of
these modes, as well as the maximum allowed power level is  now
100 watts PEP (ERP) effective radiated power referenced to a dipole.  The
FCC has deleted a channel and added a channel. The new 60 meter  channel
list (for General, Advanced, or Amateur Extra Class license only) is  as
follows (Suppressed Carrier):
VFO Dial  frequency
------------------
5330.5 kHz USB  (center of channel = 5332.0)
5346.5 kHz USB (center of channel  = 5348.0)
5357.0 kHz USB (center of channel = 5358.5)  New!
5371.5 kHz USB (center of channel = 5373.0)
5403.5 kHz USB (center of channel = 5405.0) PLEASE NOTE: The FCC  deleted
the channel 5366.5 USB (center=5368.0) and "replaced it" with channel
5357.0 kHz USB (center=5358.5).
