[SJRA-Members] Getting ready for SJRA Club QSO Party on Oct 19

[J DORAN]

Get ready for SJRA Club QSO Party in ten days on Oct 19-20

A Clubs, please let Ken, K2WB know a count of your members and planned operations schedule for your club stations. Send an email to clubQSO at SJRA.org

B SJRA members please sign up to take an hour or more operating K2AA/103 from your home station. Any hours, any modes from 18:00 UTC (14:00 EDST) Oct 19th to 17:59 UTC (13:59 EDST) Oct 20th. All contacts made using K2AA/103 will also count towards your own personal QSO count.  The QSO exchange for club members is to use your call/103 and SJRA (the club acronym)  Non club participants exchange Call and Name.  

Multiplier will be number of unique club members worked and will count only once as a multiplier. Each unique bonus station call counts once for 100 points.  Send an email to ken at k2wb.com to pick times, bands, and modes best suited to you.  Our K2AA repeater can be used as well. 

C Ken, K2WB has identified a simple logging procedure if you use N1MM+ 
Look at attached N1MM Setup screens 

Use DX Mode
Set the start date and time
Select SSB+CW+Digital
Enter SJRA in the "sent exchange" window
Something similar should work with other logging programs. 

After the contest Export File as follows:

Click on File,
Click on Export,
Click on Export File (Generic)
Click on Export File Order by QSO Time
Name the file

D Recommended frequencies +/- 5khz please be aware and polite to nets and others.

6 meters 50.150, 2 meters 144.260 the SJRA net meeting frequencies
K2AA repeater 145.290 PL 91.5 (repeater use is approved by SJRA Trustee for this event)

I recommend we make an effort to check the K2AA repeater at the top and/or half of each hour
Finally, various members of the club will send emails and spots letting you know where and when they will be operating. Those using email keep in mind it may take a while for those messages to be received

Thanks for reading this far, look for additional info prior to the start on Oct 19th, Saturday 2PM EDST. We think there may be at least six other clubs competing. I hope to work you, good luck to all. 

Finally, by Nov 20 submit a log summary (see example in the attached rules) to clubQSO at SJRA.org

John, W2FDJ
