| The Florida Contest Group |
 |
The Florida Contest Group (FCG), an ARRL affiliated club, is Florida's amateur radio contest club. It's members share a common interest in the sport
of amateur radio contesting. FCG members have a wide range of contesting experience, from beginners to World Champions. They willingly share their knowledge and skills to promote
ham radio contesting in Florida. Members, who number in excess of 200, range from Jacksonville to South Florida. FCG has a "Panhandle" division for those contesters living in the Florida Panhandle
who are outside the ARRL's 175 mile "club circle".
The Florida Contest Group supports and encourages all types of
contesting, from HF to light, all modes, power classes and skill levels. |
 |
| Keeping In Touch |
|
Communications is key to amateur radio. The Florida Contest Group uses several methods to communicate with its members, including frequent area meetings,
the Gazette newsletter and a club e-mail reflector. All of these methods are used to inform members of what the club is doing, and to encourage, support and help each other in our contest activities. |
 |
| Meetings |
|
While the ARRL no longer specifies meeting requirements for club members, the FCG continues to hold face-to-face meetings as often as possible.
These meetings are usually held in conjunction with major hamfests, such as Melbourne, Orlando, Tampa and Ft. Walton Beach. Occasionally, meetings are also held at members' homes.
Non-members are welcome to attend to find out more about the FCG or about contesting in general.
Watch for announcements of upcoming meetings.
