Old post about contests from 2004

I just stumbled across an old posting on the Elecraft list from two years ago where Jules-N2WN mentioned submitting entries into contests as a group of K2 users or Elecraft Rig Users. Tom LA1PHA also expressed an interest.

Some contests require that the "club" be one where the members reside within a certain geographical radius and perhaps require of physical meetings etc.

But other contests seem to allow you "form" the club for a specific contest.

So for the ones that don't require us to travel to Finland or TN or NY for a meeting perhaps we can submit our scores together.

But in order to do so we need to come up with a club name.

Suggestions are solicited and anyone else interested in pooling your contest scores with a K2 or Elecraft-based contest group are welcome to chime in.

Re: Old post about contests from 2004

Sounds like a great idea. I've noticed that for some contests I don't have a "valid" radio club that I can submit my scores for. If the rules allow for a non-affiliated club and wide geographical area (and whatever other rules may apply), I would vote for "Elecrafters" as a plain and simple name.

I like Elecrafters too.

I don't see any club rules for the ARRL 10M contest so I've resubmitted my
log with the CLUB = Elecrafters.

Hopefully none of the folk at Elecraft will object to use using
"Elecrafters" for the club name? <Eric/Wayne? Any problem with this?>

In reply to this post by Tom Althoff

Ok... The robot kicked back Elecrafters as an unknown club. I've submitted
a request to N1ND to ask him to add ELECRAFTERS to the list if it doesn't
violate any rules about having meetings, members living within X distance
of each other etc.

I'll let the list know what they say.
