> * Sweepstakes Records - thanks to the efforts of N5KO and K5OT, complete sets of Sweepstakes records for both modes are now available at http://www.arrl.org/sweepstakes and http://www.arrl.org/contest-records .  The records are available by category, by division, and by section.  A complete list of winners by category, extending back to the first Sweepstakes in 1930, is also provided.  For fans of statistics, the number of logs submitted each year and a cross-reference of call signs is also provided.  This is some nice work!  Is there a record in your location or favorite category that might be within reach this year?

> * Sweepstakes Participation Update - the package of information explaining how to participate in Sweepstakes, including all the rules and examples of log formatting, has been updated by Sweepstakes Manager K5OT and is downloadable from http://www.arrl.org/sweepstakes .  Is your club or public service team thinking about giving Sweepstakes a try this year?  Direct your members to this informative document and get them up to speed!
>  
> * Affiliated Club Competition - as reported earlier, the new system for submitting club eligibility lists has been under test - and is now available online at http://contest-clubs.arrl.org .  Club secretaries can submit their list of eligible members by uploading a file or via copy-and-paste from a list to http:// http://contest-clubs.arrl.org/upload.php .  The club's section or the center of the club's circle must be included in the upload.  Information about how to submit a list is available at www.arrl.org/contest-club-tools . Work is ongoing to make each list available for public inspection and it will be announced when that capability is available.  Because an email confirmation is used to be sure each list is authentic, be sure the information for your club is up to date in the ARRL's Club Affiliation records as the authentication email will be sent to the email address on file in your Club Affiliation record.  For now, just the UPLOAD function is enabled – the SEARCH option will be activated as soon as club eligibility list display testing is completed. 
>  
> As an example, your eligible member file will appear similarly to the below:
>  
> Full club name:      ARRL HQ Operators Club
> Club locator:           FN31pr
> Eligible member:  W9JJ,FN31un
> Eligible member:  KA1RWY,FN31us
> Eligible member:  NN1N,FN31wv
> etc
>  
> This is list of only your eligible members who reside in and operate from within your club territory (some clubs have members that are not eligible to be included in this list due to their residency or operating location if outside the territory).
>  
> Remember that the deadline for submitting an eligibility list is now the start of each contest - 2100 UTC on November 5th for CW Sweepstakes.
>  
> If you have questions about any aspect of Sweepstakes, or Contest Club Eligibility Lists, please contact us.  We'll be glad to help!
