2008 ARRL Sweepstakes SSB
The PVRC is gearing up for a huge effort this year to hopefully win the gavel back for the NCCC. Let’s hope we can do it. I had a great time in the 2008 ARRL SS CW a few weeks ago and am hoping to improve my score since my last effort in 2006. If all goes well, I should have a legal limit amp to help me on 80m, which based on previous efforts will be the workhorse band of the contest.
I have everything ready to go - the antennas are setup, the computer is working correctly, and the family knows to not bug daddy. It’s contest season and this is Sweepstakes phone. The contest starts at 4pm here in Maryland and the plan is to start with a run on 40m then move to 80m as the rate drops in the second hour. If I have the amp, 80m will be difficult, if I don’t have the amp, 80m will be brutal. Let’s hope for the amp.
See you in the pile-ups, de WM3O
