Working the School Club Roundup on VHF

摘要

For any Amateur Radio club at a school or university, the ARRL School Club Roundup (SCR) has become one of the highlights of the academic year. SCR, which is held twice a year, makes these clubs the center of attention for many hams around the world. During this contest, you can hear students from elementary to university working a pileup on just about every HF band. However, while there might be pileups and lots of DX on the HF bands, the VHF bands provide a way for schools to be active in their local communi-ties.While repeater and national calling frequencies are not allowed in the contest, simplex VHF communication and volunteering in local clubs has become an important aspect of SCR for a growing number of clubs.
