[TVARC] June TVARC DXCC Standings, etc.

[Robert Speckmann]

Hi Pete,

Here's what I'm tracking, and my stats.   ( Robert - AE5LC )
Use whatever you want, if it's appropriate for the club. (sorry, if this format doesn’t match what you need)
All I do is FT8 (and a little FT4, just figured this out). Later, maybe CW and/or SSB.

QRZ Awards
These QRZ Awards are a nice entry level of challenge (for beginners, like me).

Contests

I accidently stumbled into the NA-VHF-CONTEST, ... then I kept going.  
This was my first contest and I was really flying by the seat of my pants.
Figuring out what CQ TEST meant, how to get WSJT-X into contest mode, uploading a Cabrillo log to arrl, etc.
Good experience.  I'm not sure if contesting is my thing or not.  I spent alot of time, and only got 39 contacts.
Seems like poor return, based on the time I spent.  My guess is that my homemade dipole in the attic and 100W radio,
limited my ability to be heard over the big guns.  Just a guess.  Still it was fun and a good experience.

NA - VHF        39 QSOs X 24 grids = 936 

I've submitted this to the ARRL but the totals aren't confirmed yet.   I put down TVARC as my club, but per the rules, 
if my name was not on the club list at the start of the contest, then the club will not get credit for my points. 

73,
Robert Speckmann AE5LC
