[bars] ARRL 10m contest - Technician Friendly!

It was the 1989 10M contest, for me, hand logged, CW sent by hand, and all of 60 contacts resulting in a certificate “First Place Single Op, Technician, Mixed Mode, Eastern Mass Section”.

 

That was in-between helping my very young family set up the Christmas tree and hang lights, sneaking away whenever I could to play radio.

 

It resulted in 35 years of follow-on contesting that I still love to this day. The certificate still hangs proudly in my shack.

Hiya Folks,

The ARRL 10 Meter contest is coming up on Dec 14 & 15 UTC (starts Friday night local time).  This is a great contest for beginners as it is on a single band, offers separate CW & SSB categories (or both!) as well as a 'limited antennas' category for folks with wire antennas.  It is particularly well suited for Tech. class license holders as it is limited to 10 meters where you have CW & phone privileges.

We are at the peak of a sunspot cycle and 10m has been jumping!  This will be a great opportunity to dip your toe into contesting, increase your DXCC/WAS/WAZ count or simply test your stations capabilities on 10M.

This will be my first entry into this contest and I'm really looking forward to it!  I'm happy to take any questions (on or off list) folks may have -- I'll do my best to answer.

73 & Good DX!

T.

p.s: The club has loaner HF radios available if you don't have one of your own!
