The classic November Sweepstakes contests from the ARRL are just around the corner. Clubs and individuals promote this contest. Clubs rally around this contest as individual scores within the club “circle” contribute to the Club Score.

This contest has been sliced, diced, and analyzed while having club members promote the contest to club members to participate.

The Mad River Radio Club even has a 23-page manual on how to do the Sweepstakes contest from the Midwest.

If you’re looking for ideas on how to run this contest, this is a great place to start. And thanks to the Mad River Radio Club for publishing it for all to see.
