2011 October School Club Roundup Results

Unlike the February version of the School Club Roundup, the October School Club Roundup falls later in the semester, right during midterms. We normally don't participate simply because no one is available, but in an attempt to keep the club more active we decided to go ahead this semester. The number of operators at W7ASU was significantly lower than in February, as was the number of schools that we encountered on the air. Good propagation meant that most schools chose phone over digital modes, reducing the possibility of working schools twice (once for phone, once for digital) and further hurting our multiplier. On the plus side, 10m was open during the week, and we managed to work more than twice the DX that we did in February. The contest coincided with a licensing class we were teaching, so on Wednesday we invited the students to the shack to check out amateur radio in action and join us in the contest. Despite being stretched thinly, we still managed to eek out a respectable score -- albeit slighly lower than February's.
