View his presentation recording <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/lqF6bp9xyJg?t=60\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join Dave Neal, W2DAN as he shares his enthusiasm for contesting in a presentation filled with information for both beginners and seasoned contesters. He is on a mission to welcome everyone into radio&#8217;s contesting world,<\/strong> and will show you why without casual operators contests would be boring for competitors. Each contest offers a new opportunity for hams at every level to push their own skills during a time-limited competition.<\/p>\n<p>You can get started with hands-on learning the weekend before his presentation (May 6-7, 2023) by checking out the annual New England QSO Party\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neqp.org\/rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">NEQP<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the 2022 NEQP results were just posted andW2DAN came in with a score of over 50,000 and 787 Phone QSOs.\u00a0 Another respected NCRC contester, Peter Bartram, KQ1X posted 275 CW QSOs. But other casual contesting NCRC members also participated: Carl KC1NAM made 43 QSOs across all New England counties while Mike Cullen, K1NPT logged 41 QSOs. So check it out, and join with whatever personal goal you decide on.<\/p>\n<p>Note that NEQP is open to Technician Class Licensees.\u00a0 The suggested 10 Meter contest SSB operating frequency is 28.380 MHz which happens to be in the Technician Class <a href=\"https:\/\/w1sye.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/technician.pdf\">privileges<\/a>&#8216; range of 28.300-28.500 MHz: CW, Phone\/SSB, so an NCRC club member might offer to set up a station on Sunday May 7, 2023 sometime during 9am-8pm on the 10M band and give interested licensed Techs or new Generals the chance for some hands-on experience before the club meeting. If you can help make this happen let club members know.<\/p>\n<p>73<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCRC\u2019s May Meeting will be a remote only meeting from 7:00pm to 8:30pm on Monday, May 8.
