August 2020

Hello fellow contesters!

Welcome to the Arizona Outlaw Contest Club website where a great deal of contesting tools can be found and downloaded for your use.

We are all looking forward to our Virtual Outlaw Roundup that will be taking place on Saturday, August 29. Normally our Roundups are live events that rotate between Phoenix, Prescott and Tucson, but this year we are doing a Virtual Roundup.

The ladder results for our fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, are now posted here on the website where you can see how our club members did in our intra-club competition.

Summer will soon be over here in Arizona when it will be time to work on our stations and antennas to get ready for the upcoming contest season. In September there is the All Asia Phone Contest and the CQWW DX RTTY Contest. October brings us the California QSO Party (in which AOCC came in first place in the Small Club category last year), the Arizona QSO Party, The Stew Perry Topband Challenge, and of course CQWW DX Phone Contest. Then November follows with ARRL Sweepstakes both Phone and CW and the granddaddy contest of them all the CQWW DX CW Contest.

I look forward to working you all in the upcoming contests. We need to be active so we can build some good points for the Arizona Outlaws Contest Club.

For those of you who are not members of our club, I invite you to join. There are a myriad of things to learn from our members and whether you are a seasoned contester or just starting out to learn about contesting we have something to offer you.

Good Luck in the Contests!
