2000 Texas QSO Party at N5XU

UTARC traditionally operates both weekends of the Collegiate Championship. We have won the West Gulf Division in the ARRL November Sweepstakes Multioperator category, and even finished in the Top Ten! Club members have also used the club station to operate in a variety of other HF contests, including the Texas QSO Party, the IARU HF World Championship, the ARRL International DX Contest, and the CQ World Wide DX Contest.

For HF contest logging, UTARC uses TR LOG contest logging software by N6TR. Our contest radio is interfaced with the computer for frequency control and CW keying. We have headset microphones and foot-switches for multiple operators.
