WRTC 2014 Comes to USA
Sat Dec 03
The Big Kahuna of contesting is coming to the USA in 2014. Lots of hams are rabid IARU contesters and and every four years the WRTC adds another dimension to the event by fielding a huge number of the worlds best operating in two man teams with judges from nearly identical stations in the same geographical location. Maybe the contest date of mid-July every year is magical because it is so far from the normal HF contest season. At any rate, here is the promo video.
December Meeting and Gift Exchange!
Wed Nov 23

Members are invited to arrive early to enjoy dinner and conversation before the meeting starts at 7:30 PM.
Don't forget, the meeting will feature our annual Holiday Gift Exchange. If you do wish to join in the fray bring a wrapped present of about $15-$20 in value. As usual it will be a "Chinese Style Gift Exchange" by lottery. In the spirit of WNYDXA tradition, they'll probably be lots of "gift theft" and fun. See you at the meeting!

KA2RQS DXCC Achievement
Fri Jul 15
The July membership meeting had a surprise in store. Long time club member, Jim, KA2RQS, was presented with his freshly minted 5 Band DXCC Award by President Fred, W2UB. If you’ve chased DX in WNY for any length of time you’ve no doubt competed with KA2RQS many, many times for those tough QSOs. It seems like Jim was in every big pileup chasing a new one. And just recently, his persistence paid off with a beautiful plaque from the League. Good show Jim!!
The Open Championship?
Wed Jul 06
Golf has its Grand Daddy of all competition, the Open Championship. But what about CW contesting? Some might say that it is the ARRL DX, others will argue that the CQWW CW is the ultimate competition. The CWops Club have now throw down the gauntlet by sponsoring the brand new CWops CW Open Competition on August 20 and 21, 20111. The basic idea is to have three 4-hour sessions over a single weekend. Each session favors a different portion of the globe so everyone can get in on the action. You may operate one or all sessions. Just like its golf cousin, anyone can come and play. No invitation needed like those stuffy club events. Check it out!
Your webmaster, K2QO, is CWops Member #573 and I know that there are numerous other CWops in WNYDXA.
