[W3GV] Upcoming Contests

[Zipperkng at aol.com]

GM All...Just a reminder...We have two contests we plan to operate in  this 
weekend, Jan. 18-19..The North American QSO Party-SSB and the ARRL January  
VHF Party. Depending on attendance for the SSB contest, we could consider 
using  2 stations. So please try to contact me if you intend to operate this  
one. I would have to try to get the logging program installed and  working 
in the associated computer. For the time being, I intend to use the  N3FJP 
logging program for the SSB contest, as we did for the CW one last  weekend. 
For the VHF contest, N3FJP also has a program, but fine if whoever is  
working it wants to use a different one as long as he, (or she), can integrate  
it into our N3FJP Master Amateur Log when the contest is over.
 
I do not see anything of interest the w/e of 11/25-11/26, but if  anyone 
sees one they would like to operate in, post your interest so we can  all 
consider to possibly join you. Below, if you do not have it, is the link for  
the whole years Contest Calendar...

Looking forward...Feb. 1 - 2 there is the 10-10 International Winter  
Contest-SSB. Do we have a 10-10 number?
 
For those of us that are single (or married), Feb. 8-9 the YL-ISSB QSO  
Party-CW (LOL!). Don't see much else those first 2 weekends of Feb. Does  
anyone?
 
Feb. 15 - 16 is a big one...ARRL International DX Contest-CW. Followed  
March 1-2 with the SSB one.I hope we can have a lot of participation  in these 
and have several rigs running. Even if you are not a CW man, come  down and 
help log!! No CW necessary. Whoever is operating will give you the  contact 
exchange and call to enter..Very easy! Same goes for the SSB...Do  logging 
if you are not into contesting.
