[KCDXC] ARRL Contests

[tombaugh]

Some of us like to participate in ARRL contests. At the risk of offending
Everyone...
In order to have a club score count in a ARRL contest, the club must be
affiliated with the ARRL.
I checked the ARRL web site and according to that KCDXC is not affiliated.
Does this mean we cannot have a club score in an ARRL contest?    YES !
Look at the list of responsibilities required by the Secretary including
8.3.3
Here are some more goodies from the ARRL:

8. Club Competition:
8.1. Six ARRL-sponsored contests include an ARRL affiliated club
competition:
8.1.1. January VHF Sweepstakes
8.1.2. (February and March) International DX Contest
8.1.3. September VHF QSO Party
8.1.4. November Sweepstakes
8.1.5. (December) 160-Meter Contest
8.1.6. (December) 10-Meter Contest
8.2. Only clubs actively affiliated with the ARRL may participate in the
club competition. This means the club:
8.2.1. Is affiliated with the ARRL, and
8.2.2. Has filed an annual report with the Field Services Department of ARRL
HQ within the last two years.
8.3. For a club to be listed, the following conditions must be met:
8.3.1. Entries from three different members of the club must be submitted.
8.3.2. The entry must clearly indicate the club name in the Cabrillo file
header.
8.3.3. The club secretary must send a list of all club members eligible to
compete for the club (not a club roster) and which level (unlimited, medium,
local) they wish to enter for each competition within 30 days after the
contest.
8.3.4. A member's score must be shown in the contest results to be counted
for a club. Only that score shown in the results (or in subsequent
corrections) will count for the club competition.
