An Amateur Radio Club Update

[R Russell Miller]

As you may already know, our Club is working to re-establish itself on campus. 

In the meantime, Club members, past and present, may request the use of the Club callsign, in a coordinated manner, via Club Trustee Jim N3JT.  The details of that process are here:

Over the past few years a number of Club alums have been keeping our Club active and on- the-air with great success.  One Club member, Greg W1GF, has been and continues to make great progress toward working stations in locations never previously contacted as well as operating in the 2022 Collegiate QSO Party.  

Recently, Greg contacted both Bouvet Island and Crozet Island which brings the Club DXCC Total to 343 worked and 343 confirmed. There are only ten DXCC countries that our Club has not worked.  These countries are:  Pratas Island, San Felix Island, Eritrea, Kerguelin Island, Minami Torishima, Kure Island, DPRK (North Korea), Trinidad & Martim Vaz Islands, Syria and Prince Edward & Marion Islands.

Congrats to everyone over the years for their work to add new DXCC countries to our Club's totals.  You can find more information and an Excel spreadsheet on our Club's Website.  https://w3abt.seas.upenn.edu/awards/

The 2022 Collegiate QSO Party results are in.  W3KZ was the winner - Thanks Greg!

Outstanding performance!
