Back in 2010, I was wondering and did some initial research to see how many College Amateur Radio Clubs are participating in ARRL's DXCC. I was surprised to learn that I could find only seventeen Clubs active in DXCC. This is a 2012 update to that article:

Experienced hams knew it all too well. Volunteer Examiners expect it. And for some reason, newly licensed hams fear it. What could it be? As the title suggests, completing your first contact is a daunting -- yet exciting -- event for many. Why is that? What can we do to get over that lump-in-the-throat feeling known as “mic fright?”
You may have read some of my previous articles that mention how exciting my first few contacts were. What wasn’t mentioned is that I spent a few months simply getting over an irrational and unknown fear of talking on the radio – “mic fright,” as they called it. During the few months after getting my license, I merely listened to the almost daily 2 meter nets that occurred throughout the Greater St Louis area. My nearest one was the WA0FYA net out of Washington, Missouri, which was the same club that helped me get my license. Despite knowing almost all of the...

For the last several months those of us over at the Rochester Institute of Technology ARC, K2GXT, have been experimenting with MediaWiki hosted on CollegeARC. This wiki is located at Projects.CollegeARC.Com. The wiki has been setup to allow clubs to have a common area in which to document their projects. The first major project documented with this system has been the RITCHIE-1 High Altitude Balloon. Before letting other clubs know about this part of CollegeARC we wanted to not only test if it was a correct solution but also to fill it with some content as a basis for other clubs to see how they might want to documetent their own projects. Easy access to the wiki has been provided with the additions of a button called "Projects" on the left sidebar.

Several College Club stations will be operating on February 18th in the first college club QSO party. This QSO party is an excellent opportunity for students to experience the HF amateur radio bands. The goal is to have college club stations from all over the country on the air making contacts at the same time. Hopefully stations in the Northeast will be able to hear stations on the west coast across all the bands. Feel free to invite your club alumni to participate as this is an event open to all hams. For further information check out this link for the rules and more info. If your club is interested in participating e-mail

Collegiate clubs are always looking for operating events and opportunities that excite and motivate their members to be active, especially on HF. This year’s ARRL November Sweepstakes certainly fits the bill and – for the first time in years – the bands will have plenty to offer Technician license-holders, too! Sweepstakes – or “Sweeps” among friends – is a contest in which modest stations can do very,very well. There’s no need for giant towers and antennas or legal-limit amplifiers – simple antennas and a “barefoot” HF rig will do just fine. Sweepstakes brings out many US and Canadian operators, and there will be a lot of stations to work on the bands. More stations = more contacts = more fun!
Your club can participate in two ways. The first is to submit a score in the School Club category of the main competition. With its 30-hour time limit, the shared-operating nature of the category fits right in with the busy fall semester. Give the Phone...
