2014 ARRL November Sweepstake Results
The Medium Club category featured a very close race. The (legacy) Southern California Contest Club took the #1 spot over the (upstart) DFW Contest Club. Each club scored around 4.5 million points with a margin between these two clubs of only 197,350 points. That difference could have been bridged by a single dedicated competitor. Congratulations to both of these groups

HR-1301
| HR-1301 Letter |
Ham Radio needs your support for HR 1301, a suggested letter is attached above for your use. Please read this letter to understand the purpose of the proposed legislation.
Our objective (as hams) is to get as many members of the US House of Representatives to sign on as co-sponsors for this bill as possible. At present there is no comparable Bill in the Senate; having a large number of House co-sponsors will hopefully influence the Senate to get behind this as well.
Please substitute the appropriate information for the text in red, and change the color to black.
If you do not know who the Representative for your district is, just go to this site:
http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/
Just put in your zip code and you will have the information!
Edit the letter if you wish, but it's not necessary. Sign your letter and mail it to Paul Blumhardt, K5RT at:
Paul Blumhardt
2805 Toler Rd
Rowlett, TX 75089
Please ask your friends and family members who are hams to also print and sign a letter and mail it to Paul.
Paul will compile everyone's letters and forward them to ARRL so they can be delivered to the appropriate Representative's office on Capitol Hill.
