===============================================================
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.

EL2A

The ops at EL2A relax before their 19.5 Million point assault on CQWW DX CW contest. Arizona Outlaw Ops AA7A, KC7V, KY7M and N7CW generated 15.6M points for the club!


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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