      Or just want to see what it is all about are invited to come over to KG5VK’s Station November the 18th
      anytime after 2 PM

      The Contest does NOT begin until 3 PM Local Time
      The Name of the Contest is ARRL Sweepstakes (SS) and this is the Phone weekend.
      The CW Contest was the first weekend of November, and I am out of Pocket that weekend.

      It should be noted I have set aside my time in this version of ARRL SS Phone
      to do training of those that wish to learn about contesting and mentor anyone that shows an interests in the field of Radio Sport.

      If your Interested you may let me know before the 18th or even at the Club meeting earlier in the same day.

        I have worked out my schedule, and my plan is to be there and participate in the contest. Is there anything that we need to bring?

        I’m looking forward to being there.

          Awesome.
          You do not need to bring anything
          If you have a favorite Headset
          I have mine setup so we can swap them out if you like or just use mine.

          Cheers!

            Steve,

            I’ll make a note.  I will have been flying five days in a row and then doing meeting prep Friday night and getting the Club meeting set up that same Saturday morning, the date moved up a week to deconflict Thanksgiving.  I may have to go home, crash and burn, but I’ll sure keep it in mind.  Thanks for the invite!

            Phillip
