Helping some of the young contesters at Dayton 2008.

Hello, Fellow Contesters-

Just returned from Dayton 2008, where I was able to meet many of you. Thanks for taking the time to stop by. This was my very first trip to Dayton in 26 years of being licensed. It was a great experience. I'm glad I was able to help answer some of your questions and listen to your suggestions...and yes, even some constructive criticism.

One of the suggestions bandied about was an official Contest Branch blog. Your wish is my command (well, our Web Guru Jon Bloom, KE3Z, really did all of the work).

This is where I will be posting offical information on all things Contest-related, such as when results for ARRL contests are put online, when awards are going out the door, and if there are any problems you need to know about. This blog will cover both HF and VHF+ contests.

I hope this will help keep you informed on happenings here at the Contest Branch. As always, I strive to be available to you. Feel free to drop me a line with any questions, comments, or constructive criticism. Compliments are welcome, too. :)

Cheers,

Sean KX9X
