CONTESTER EDUCATION
There are many sources you can use to obtain a wealth of contester information. The two we’d like to feature are those presented by old guard contest clubs, Potomac Valley Radio Club (PVRC) and the Northern California Contest Club (NCCC).
PVRC has sponsored many fine, contest focused webinars the last several years. Fortunately, they have always recorded them and they are available for download here: http://www.pvrc.org/webinar/webinars.htm .
Two good ones were presented regarding N1MM Logger. Check it out. Our own New Mexico-based Arizona Outlaw, Steve N2IC, was one of the presenters.
NCCC has a great set of recorded contest-related videos, as well. Check out this link: http://www.nccc.cc/webinars.html .

AOCC NET
Our infinitely able Net-dude/Outlaw, Steve AA7V (ex-KN5H), has worked hard to organize a 75-meter 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. Lately, Hank K7HP has stepped up to help out regularly.
Non-members are always welcome.
The AOCC Net is mp3-recorded and posted to N7MAL’s website every week. A link to Mal’s site is to the left under “Wednesday Night Net Recordings”. Join in on the Net.
==================================================
