You may remember that last September our club participated in the Masons on the Air Contest, racking up enough points to secure FIRST PLACE for the second consecutive year! Now it’s time to defend our title in this year’s contest scheduled for Saturday, September 23, 2023, 10AM to 6PM local time. This is a SSB only contest on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 Meters. We will be operating from CP600 at the Greensburg Masonic Lodge, 349 Donohue Rd., Greensburg, PA. Contest details can be found at CQMorelight Website. For updates and details keep an eye on this page and listen to announcements on our club’s weekly net, Wednesdays at 9:00 PM local time on 147.180 (+600 kHz, PL 131.8) repeater. We will also be doing a VE test session the same day starting at 10:00 AM at the Greensburg Lodge! (See following post for details.)
