June brought us several contests with Arizona Outlaws activity. The ARRL June VHF QSO Party and the All Asian CW Contest were the significant events of the month. Those scores, as well as the other contests scored for the AOCC Ladder can be seen on our Club Scores area of the website, in the Archived scores list.

AOCC LADDER – YEAR ONE

Speaking of the AOCC Ladder, thanks to the hard work of Dave AB7E and Sandy N7RQ, the final one year Ladder results are now online. Go to the AOCC Ladder page of the website and click on the big “Ladder Results” oval. That will take you to the Ladder grid that Dave developed and Sandy formatted for website sorting: http://www.arizonaoutlaws.net/ladderresults.html

Note that each column (each Ladder category) can be sorted by clicking on the Category column heading. Neat!

Each non-Officer category winner will be receiving a really nice award, later this summer!  An announcement will be made on the AOCC Reflector when to look for them.

AOCC SUMMER MEETING

Tentative arrangements are being made for a September 11, 2010 (that’s a Saturday) AOCC meeting in the Tucson area. More on this will be published on the AOCC Reflector as details develop.

AOCC REGIONAL COMPETITION (NAQP)

Dick W7ZR designed and developed rules for a cool, equalized, competition among the four AOCC “Regions” (North, Central, South, and Out-of-AZ members). For the initial run, we will use the three North American QSO Party (NAQP) events.

            July 17-18, 2010 – NAQP RTTY
            August 7-8, 2010 – NAQP CW
            August 21-22, 2010 – NAQP SSB

Full rules can be seen here: http://www.arizonaoutlaws.net/regionalcompetition.html .

IARU HF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

July 10-11 will bring us the IARU HF World Championship, the only real summer contest of significant international participation. This year is one of the special years, where the World Radio Team Championship is held internal to the IARU contest. Last time was in 2006. It will be held in Moscow this year, with 50 two-man teams, from all over the globe, gathering to compete. Let’s all plan to get on and support the efforts of those teams. Outlaw Steve N2IC will again be one of the competitors. Check out all the WRTC 2010 Teams and other info at: http://www.wrtc2010.ru/?id=16 .
           
OTHER SIGNIFICANT JULY CONTESTING

In addition to the above mentioned IARU HF World Championship on July 10-11 and NAQP RTTY July 17-19, the CQ Worldwide VHF Contest falls on July 17-18 as well. These and other contest details are announced weekly on the AOCC Reflector.

A SNAPSHOT OF AUGUST CONTESTS

August contests of interest include the European HF Championship, NAQP CW, ARRL UHF Contest, and 10-10 Int’l Summer Contest, SSB (all Aug 7-8); WAE DX CW and MD-DC QSO Party (both Aug 14-15); SARTG Worldwide RTTY, NAQP SSB and NJ QSO Party (all Aug 21-22); Hawaii QSO Party, SCC RTTY Championship, OH QSO Party, KS QSO Party and YO DX Contest (all Aug 28-29).
