[W8MWA] November Sweepstakes Contest Club Information

[Dan Ringer]

Please note that the ARRL Section shown on the 
http://www.kc8tai.com/index.php/n3fjp-contesting-ftp-upload/ setup 
screen should  NOT be W8. *It is WV. *The ARRL Sections List at 
http://www.arrl.org/contest-sections-list, upon which Josh's screen 
appears to be based, is a bit confusing.

ALSO, do not rely on the AE7Q website for an accurate history to 
determine the year a ham was first licensed. It will give you the year 
the current callsign was first issued to the current holder, but not the 
year the current holder was first licensed. Some hams have had several 
callsigns. That information does not appear to be easily available 
anywhere. I don't think even the FCC has it. That's one reason why hams 
are constantly looking for old Callbooks. But, even the Callbook could 
be inaccurate due to publication lead times. You'll have to use your 
best estimate.

Lastly, if you are a single operator, the use of spotting assistance, 
including messages with friends,  puts you in the Single Operator 
Unlimited class (U), not the Single Op classes (Q, A, or B)

Good luck all!
