The Collegiate Championships
For the past several years, the colleges in the U.S. with Ham Radio clubs
have competed in the collegiate championships. This contest, piggy-backed
with the ARRL November Sweepstakes,
is a contest in which amateur radio stations try to contact as many other
stations as possible over a 30 hour period. The colleges participating
compete as if they were in only Sweepstakes, but then we compare our Sweepstakes
scores with other colleges. W4ATC StARS has done very well in this
contest, check out the official
results.
