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.

These QRZ Awards are a nice entry level of

I find them to be fun, and
challenging.

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,
