SCARC US Islands 2016 Annual Contest

On Saturday August 27th, the Annual US Island contest was held. The goal of this 15-hour long event is for hams on US and Canadian islands to work as many other stations as possible (both island and non-islands) and for non-island stations to work as many islands as possible. This year the W7PIG effort was mounted at the QTH of Lee - K7IOC. The plan is to do the same in 2017.

Participants at W7PIG included: Tom - KD6TR, Sue - KK6SUE, Jerry - W6RKE, Duane - KC7EKA, Ward - W7SXM, Robert - KA7VIF, Terry - N7LRG, Katherine - KF7ZMO, Joe - WA7JT and Lee - K7IOC.
