W1YU is on the air this weekend for NOVEMBER SWEEPS!

SIGN UP FOR AN ON-AR TIME SLOT TODAY!

W1YU is participating as a school club in the 2017 ARRL November Sweepstakes this weekend and we need club members to operate from the club station at the Graduate Club.

Never contested? No worries…  IT IS EASY & IT IS FUN!

(AB1DQ will be available if you need ‘in the shack’ training)

November Sweeps is a great contest to ‘cut your teeth on’ – the goal is to work as many stations as possible and passing and recording a simple exchange.

Learn more online here.

W1YU is well appointed for the contest… we have the rigs, the antenna, and straight-forward contest logging software – ALL WE NEED IS YOU!

The contest starts at 4:00 pm EST (2100 UTC) on Saturday and runs through 9:59 pm EST on Sunday [0300 UTC, Monday]

We are looking for club members to sign up for two hour shifts.

Please go to the DOODLE POLL here and indicate all time slots you are available indicating your first, second and third preference in the comments section. AB1DQ will send the final schedule via email.
