Once the contest starts and any SMC member calls you, SMC Member will show on the screen and show their name and state.

I will also add this to the Resources tab. It will be updated from time to time. We also may add other useful files.

WPX Zone 4 Award thank you

12/23/2014 – From K4AB:

“It was a nice surprise to open the mailbox and get the plaque for Zone 4 in the CQ WPX phone contest!

Please give my appreciation to all the members of the club…I know I’ll see you all in upcoming contests.

73,
