[SJDXA] Last night's meeting

[Steve]

Agreed. 

We  restarted SJDAX  in West Creek with the notion contesting and met with overwhelming success with the 160M SSB contests as a group of rookies. 

 

While not all in our group are contest orientated, we certainly have a core of seasoned and otherwise capable SSB operators. And I for one don’t have the equipment and antennas at my home station that approaches SJDXA station capably in West Creek.  For those members wishing to sharpen their skills the OBARC Field Day is an excellent opportunity to gain experience.   Some OBARC members take a competitive approach to FD.  OBARC often scores in the top ten in its class. 

 

I suggest we participate in an upcoming contest.  Rather than a full 48-hour contest, may I suggest a more limited participation as the warm weather months are filled with other activities. 

 

The QSL projects have put SJDXA on the map. But we should utilize and take advantage of the West Creek facilities and put SJDXA on the contest airwaves.
