Ready, set, roundup! School Club Roundup (SCR) gets under way on Monday, February 9, and continues until Friday, February 13. Scott Davis, N3FJP, has just posted ARRL School Club Contest Log 1.0, a new-windows based program for the School Club Roundup.

The twice-yearly SCR is an opportunity for school club stations at all levels to get on the air for a friendly radio activity. Sponsored by the ARRL, the ARRL Hudson Division Education Task Force, and the Long Island Mobile Amateur Radio Club (LIMARC), the contest aims to foster contacts with and among school radio clubs.

Participation in the School Club Roundup is easy, and there’s a club category for everyone: Elementary/Primary, Middle/Intermediate/Junior High School, Senior High School, College/University Club, and Non-School Club. There is also an Individual category. Stations exchange signal reports, class (“Individual”, “Club,” or “School”), and US state, Canadian province/territory, or DXCC entity. If you just want to get on the air and hand out contacts, enter in the Individual category.

The top three entries in each category — Elementary, Middle/Intermediate/Junior High School, Senior High School College/University — will receive an Award Certificate. Non-school clubs or multiop groups and individuals are also eligible for certificates.
