    ARRL Contest Branch Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ, says the 1,270 electronic and handful of paper logs submitted for this year's ARRL November Sweepstakes[1] CW weekend surpass last year's log count. Now it's time for SS Phone. Jahnke stresses that SS Phone logs are due within 7 days after the event ends, by 0259 UTC on November 26. "As our updated processes have results and awards on a much faster track these days, watch for preliminary results announcements targeted before year end for CW, Phone or perhaps even both," he said.

    Meanwhile, on the eve of the ARRL November Sweepstakes (SS) phone weekend, SS CW scores posted[2] on 3830 suggest that the US Virgin Islands was the rarest section, due to damage suffered in last year's hurricanes.

    The ARRL Contest Update[3] for November 14 reports that Tony Kazmakites, N2TK, and Steve Strauss, NY3B, traveled to KP2M for the CQ World Wide DX SSB contest. They reported, "Lots of damage still apparent on St. Croix, and at KP2M we only had one usable tower after significant damage to the station from last year's storms." - Thanks to The ARRL Contest Update[4]; Contest Branch Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ
