Sweepstakes CW Personal Records
Below is my history in the ARRL November Sweepstakes CW. This is my favorite contest of the year. It is surely the most competitive contest in the world.
I am particularly proud of my 5 national victories and 46 consecutive years with over 1000 QSOs. In 2003, I accomplished a long time goal of making the high power Top Ten from New England. It had been more than 30 years since that was last done.
