NCRC Completes WAS
We are proud to announce that W1SYE has officially completed Worked All States (WAS) and the fancy certificate from the ARRL is headed our way. Hats off to all the activators who have gotten W1SYE onto the air the past couple of years. You’ve all had a part in this effort!
A special thanks goes out to Willy, W1LY, who has the honor of completing a CW contact with the last station to confirm via LotW: Doug, W7KF, in Montana.
Regular NCRC Meeting Mar 14, 7 PM @ KVH
Our regular meeting will be held on Monday, March 14th at 7 PM at KVH. In addition to the usual business meeting and discussion of the upcoming All Saints Academy ARISS contact, we will be showing a video of the Navassa Island DXpedition.
DXCC Credit for SGI & Navassa Islands Arrives
A few weeks back, W1SYE worked VP8SGI, located on South Georgia Island. The confirmation for those contacts just arrived in Logbook of the World (LotW). South Georgia Island is ranked #8 (out of 340) on the most wanted DX list.
About a year ago, W1LY completed contacts on behalf of the club with K1N, Navassa Island. That island, off limits to humans, was ranked as #2 on the most wanted DX list.
Speaking of DX, the DXCC confirmation count for W1SYE continues to rise, following activity during the CW DX Contest. It currently stands at 88. You too can help W1SYE get our DXCC Certificate by working DX stations using the W1SYE callsign.
After receiving confirmations from Hawaii and Alaska, W1SYE has 49 confirmed states, and only requires a confirmation from Montana to complete WAS
