CONTEST OPINIONS WANTED BY WARD N0AX

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

We received this email from Ward recently. Each member of our club interested in contesting should reply to him individually; that makes it easier than getting a club consensus as one voice.

Hello!

I’m the Northwestern Division’s Contest Advisory Committee representative.
We advise the ARRL’s Programs and Services Committee (PSC) on matters
pertaining to contesting. The PSC asks us to canvas our constituents from
time to time on various issues and this is one of those times!

The question regards the ARRL Affliliated Club Competition for ARRL
contests – if your club doesn’t participate in the club competition, kindly
disregard this message. At least one score was submitted on behalf of your
club in an ARRL contest – that’s why the email is sent to you.

Assuming your club does send in its scores for the club competition, is your
club satisfied with the scoring system (calculation of the final club score)
for the Affliated Club competition? (The current scoring system simply adds
the scores from each log submitted as part of the club.) If not, please let
me know of your specific concerns and include examples, if possible.

Ward Silver
