Hi All,

The past 2 years we have been the uncontested winner in the school category for the Southeastern Division (Alabama, Georgia, Northern Florida, Southern Florida, West Central Florida, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Island Sections) but this year we will have competition!
Our competition will be The Sarasota Military Academy Amateur Radio Club. The Sarasota Military Academy is a charter public high school located in Sarasota County, West Central Florida.

We cannot be beat by a bunch of high school kids!

In order to compete in SS SSB as a school club the operators must be Student, Faculty or Staff. We need all the help we can get!
If you can help us please contact me and we can set something up. 40M is for the most part clear of AM stations and we should be able to rack up some big numbers Saturday and Sunday evening. 

It looks like the rain has washed away the noise at T6 so let's hope for some more light rain in the days leading up to SS!

I will also try to get the internet working at T6 so we can use the DX clusters to hunt for those elusive sections and get all 80!

Thanks,
