Contact W2MMD During The Club QSO Party!
By Jim Wright N2GXJ
Want to have some fun by making a radio contact with your own Club, W2MMD? You can, and it will be appreciated! Turns out W2MMD is signed up to be a Club station participant in the Club QSO Party the weekend before field day. You heard about this event in person at the April Club meeting, and may have seen it mentioned in the May CrossTalk. Now for some more details.
There is an unusual “percent of your Club members who participated” thing that goes into overall scoring. And there is an unusual permission to use repeaters for contacts too. Well, let’s have some fun with that (and toss some points towards the Club in this QSO party while we’re at it)!
If you’re not doing much on Friday night, June 19, 2026 at 8pm, give W2MMD/67 a call on our 2 meter repeater! I’ll be logging contacts for a half hour or so with as many of our Club members that call in that I can. Think we can get 100 Club members to show up in log as participants this way? Help boost our “percent of your Club members who participated” totals. If you call in, we might! It’s that easy! EchoLink is accepted! The more, the merrier!
Saturday morning, June 20, 2026, out at the Clubhouse, Mike Pentimall KC3VTF, a.k.a “Saturday Mike” will be running the HF station as W2MMD/67, logging as many contacts as he can. Come on by and help him make and log a few Q’s if you get the chance!
Want to see how many Club stations you can contact in addition to ours? It should be fun. And might be a good way to check your field day equipment (if you want it to) ahead of the following weekend. They even have a special update to the N1MM logger, if you want to get practice with that logger.

Hope to hear you on the repeater Friday night June 19th!
