[WIARC] W9OAB CQWW SSB

[Danny Pease]

This past weekend several club members took part in a multi-op two
transmitter effort in the CQWW SSB contest. I don't have all the numbers,
but in about 14 hours of operating we made around 420 QSO's and raw score
was 268,380 points.

We had a couple of first time contesters and I believe they all had a good
time. N9JF provided a second 746 Pro radio for the second station when we
found out the club 520 was not working. We were not able to interface the
second radio to the computer but that did not seem to be much of an issue
for this operation. N1MM software allowed us to network the two computers
over LAN and other than not being able to log onto the DX spotting network
with either computer Saturday, worked flawlessly.

There will be several more opportunities to activate the club station for a
contest, the season is just barely started. This coming weekend in ARRL
Sweepstakes CW. This is a domestic contest and the exchange is pretty long
and complicated, but if anyone is interested in trying it from the club
station, let me know. Sweepstakes SSB will be two weeks after the CW
version, CQWW CW is late in November and the ARRL 160 and 10 meter contests
are in December.
