Actually, we’ll be concerned with the ARRL Phone Sweepstakes, which is a domestic (NA works NA) SSB contest, rather than a DX contest.
I will not be a serious entrant, so I’ll have time to explain contest theory in general, and we’ll have time to chat between contacts, which will be mostly for demonstration. Anything learned will be a help at the next Field Day, eg.
There will be demonstrations of logging software and station engineering.
The contest starts at 1 pm (13:00 PST, 2100z), and I’m sure we’ll have had enough by about 6pm or so. The shack door is at the back of the house, under the sundeck. Beware of the cat.
5330 Wallace Ave. (on the border with Point Roberts)
Directions available if you need them.
