First Club House Contest Activation for 2017

 IMG_1478  The Cleveland Amateur Radio Club will be activating the Club House January 21st, for the North American QSO Party. Last year we participated in the Multi-Two category, with a final score of 61,375 points for 491 contacts. This put us in 21st place out of 126 stations (Top 20% in the nation) that submitted logs. Also, as an added bonus, we worked all 50 states within the 12 hour contest period.

    Activation will begin at 1PM local time (18:00Z). If you are interested in participating or have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at  w4juu@carc.cc. Complete details and rules can be found at http://ncjweb.com/NAQP-Rules.pdf
