[LCC] [W1AW/5 LA] Planning for LCC fun in 2015

[Steve Lott]

or instead of re-inventing the wheel
and maybe just encourage all of us (esp me as I need the encouragement)
to participate in more contest during the year..............

we embrace what another "young" club has done successfully

The Arizona Outlaws DX club has this Ladder competition

http://www.arizonaoutlaws.net/ladder.html

we could of course tailor it

I like how it is based on WRTC qualification rules

I did not have time to get into the read of all the details,  and we as a
group need to discus them
looking for both Pro's and Con's on this

what about embracing the N5LCC idea with use of slots in the on line
schedule during LAQP  and doing the Arizona Outlaw ladder as well ?

The new year will be here soon
lets at least do something ???

come on guys tell us what YOU are thinking !!!
