2012 February School Club Roundup Results




A rather uneventful School Club Roundup. DX and propagation were down, but the number of schools was up. Attendance from club members was also down, but we did manage to beat our score from October and had a number of pleasant QSO's with other schools sharing the same mission as us: to introduce more young folks to amateur radio. Changes to the contest rules meant that we spent the majority of time operating phone modes and only dabbled in digital modes to pick up the occasional multiplier.
