The Ham bands were packed with operators for the CQ World Wide DX Contest back in October. We had dozens of QSO’s (contacts) with 9 countries, 12 zones and accumulated 1,071 points. Our farthest country was Morocco, 5,979 miles away! Sal, WC6SAL, shared some of his secrets to success on FT8. By varying odd versus even frequencies one could improve chances of successful contacts. Dan, KN6DRN demonstrated how to convert log entries into Cabrillo format for contests. LHARG crewed a table at November’s New Resident Orientation. Hams & Coffee was festive and fun. We look forward to a Happy New Year.

Meetings are held at the South Tower every Monday night at 6:30 PM. Our club conducts a weekly radio network at 7:00 PM every Monday on the W6LHR Repeater at 147.030 MHz, 167.9 PL.
