Farewell to our dear friend Bill Schuchman W7YS, who passed in late December. In addition to being a great Outlaw and very active contester, he was a founding member of the Potomac Valley Radio Club -- rest in peace, OM.

ARIZONA OUTLAWS shot up their targets in the 2011 CQ Worldwide DX CW Contest
Forty-five Arizona Outlaws, stretching from Yuma to the Bahamas to Liberia, laid down some major gunfire in this year’s CQWW DX CW Contest.  When the gun smoke had subsided, the Outlaws were all standing and over 46.7 Million points showed everyone we were ace high!

Combined with the over 27.7 Million points claimed score for CQWW DX SSB, that gives the Arizona Outlaws Contest Club over 74 Million points (15 Million more than 2010) and another new 7th Area Club Record!

This is a really big deal; a huge score for a club only three years old.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congrats to every Outlaw who made any number of QSOs for the club.

AOCC NET
Our infinitely able Net-dude/Outlaw, Steve AA7V (ex-KN5H), has worked hard to organize a 75m net for our members! Join us on 3733 each Wednesday night at 7pm MST (0200Z Thursday).  Steve is the usual NCS, but other Outlaws will be asked to take the helm as well. We have had as many as 30 check-ins.  Non-members are welcome.
The Net is mp3-recorded and posted to N7MAL’s website every week.. A link to Mal’s site is to the left “Wednesday Night Net Recordings”.  Join In on the Net.

==================================================

NEW MEMBERS
One new Arizona Outlaw was bushwhacked into joining this past month. We now have 160 members. What a ruckus we can make!  Welcome to:

 

73, Outlaw Bob K8IA
“There’s a ruckus brewing out there!”

Go saddle up and git on the air!
