SALMON RUN SALMON RUN SALMON RUN
September 17 and 18 brings the seasonal migration of QSOs to Washington State. Make sure you get on the air
that weekend, especially if you can hand out the rarer counties. While the competition isn't cutthroat, there are some
mighty runs that can occur. New for this year is the elimination of the no-spot rule. This should cut down on any potential
fishy business.
Field day wrap up
Herb noted that despite our FD entry class of 3A vs another well-known club's entry of 6A, our scores were within 10-20% of
theirs.
Willamette Valley DX Club Convention
John N7TT mentioned that the WVDXC convention was a resounding success, and suggested some of the
techniques that contributed.
WWDXC DXCC Card Checker in the offing!
The club is going to have it's own ARRL Sanctioned DXCC Card checker. Dick, K7BTW, has volunteered to
take the test and has been recommended by the club to the ARRL.
