| My thanks to all the schools that participated. |
| AG7HP ID Senior High School |
| This week Caldwell High School participated in an amateur radio contest called the ARRL School Club Roundup. Approximately 15 students from the CHS Engineering and Robotics classes spent their afternoons and evenings, every day this week, making radio contact with other stations from across the continent. Contest Objective: To exchange QSO information (station call sign, location, and signal report) with other school and club stations that are part of an elementary, middle, high school or college. A points system is used to score each contact and the student radio station was allowed to operate for a cumulative of 24 hours over a five day period. It was also encouraged to contact non-school clubs and individuals, although they didn't score as highly. Students earned almost 30k points in the competition this week while "working" several hundred stations from 42 different US states including Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. CHS junior Kelsey Ferro said at the conclusion of the event, "I really enjoyed the opportunity to use the knowledge of radios I learned in Mr. Z's class. This was one of the coolest and nerdiest things I can gladly say I've done. From stringing the antenna from the roof to using the radio and talking to new people, these kind of opportunities are why I love engineering". |

| K4WBM VA Middle/Intermed/JR High School |
| This was my first time doing the log for my CLUB. Please excuse any problems and let me know ASAP through my email if I have made any gross errors. Our kids LOVED the SCR this year!!! Great contacts everyone. |
| K5LBJ TX Senior High School |
| LASA High enjoyed seeing so many new schools on the air this SCR. In fact, we worked 52 schools which is second only to the 53 we worked in the 2005 SCR. And, great coordination among schools using SCR-Chat. Always hoping to work Alaska. Maybe next year. Students made 920 QSOs in low sunspots. Proud of them! 73, KC5EES (Trustee, K5LBJ) |
| K5LMS TX Middle/Intermed/JR High School |
| Fewer student operators, but two: Amelia and Isabel made probably 80% or more of out contacts, working pileups every day mostly without prompting from any of our three licensed operators! |

| K8TGR OH Senior High School |
| Had a great time, doubled our points since Feb. New goal to double again next time out. Each student club member made at least 2 contacts during the event and even asked to come back on a second day. Awesome! |
| K8YSU OH College/University |
| We had a great time. More students getting on the air this semester and making great contacts. The bands weren't great and our antenna was a compromise but we enjoyed ourselves. It was fun talking to the other schools on the air and working DX. |

| KD8NOM OH Elementary/Primary School |

| KM4RE GA Elementary/Primary School |
| As always, SCR was an amazing event for our students. For some reason, the interest level was less this time. We had a total of 5 students participate, although the bulk of the station operation was done by just two students. Both of these students took part in the event last year as fourth graders and spent considerable time in the weeks previous to this fall's SCR mapping out ways to improve on their past performances. I think that this part is as much fun for me to watch as the event itself. We save all of the data from past roundups, things like contacts/per day and average QSO/hour. After each roundup is finished, we always have a "debriefing" to discuss things that worked well and ideas on how to improve in the future. They take meticulous notes on this. The students then analyze this information and map out a plan. They really approach it as a competition, not against other schools, but against themselves. There was some disappointment that they fell a bit short of the club's best, but they also understand that even the best plan can be hindered by poor band conditions like we experienced several times during the contest. I cannot overstate how much I appreciate those folks who take their time to make the School Club Roundup possible. |
| KM4TAY VA Elementary/Primary School |
| The kids had lots of fun! We have 30 kids trying to cram around 1 radio, so hopefully we’ll have more radios and more kids talking in the Spring! |
| KR8ZE OK Club/Multi-Op |
| Many thanks to everyone that supported the SCR. We here at the KR8ZE QTH greatly enjoyed participating in the SCR and making contact with the young operators. They all did a very good job as did their instructors and teachers. Special thanks for those instructors and teachers who assisted with the young ops. KR8ZE learned a lot from this SCR in various areas of setup, operating and logging, to include log submission. Looking forward to Feb 18. 73, KR8ZE (Crazy) |
| N0HCS MN Senior High School |
| Harbor City Radio Club had a great week and was happy to make many digital contacts across the United States and Canada with our group of high schoolers and a few Elmers keeping us going strong. We were able to put in 3 days working around 6 hours each day. Thanks to everyone for a fun event! |

| Since I retired, I no longer run the school club ON4HTI, but it was still fun to make some qso's during SCR Week ! |
| W0QQQ KS College/University |
| Members of the Kansas State University Amateur Radio club had a great time participating in this year's school club roundup. Our new ICOM IC-7300 arrived during the week and got a great workout on the air. Getting this first new radio in over 20 years was a much-anticipated moment for our club. We can't wait to get on the air in February with even more participation. |
| W2HJ NY College/University |
| This is Simon Savitt KD2OAY. The faculty advisor (Joe Ciccone) of my university ham radio club is blind and so we did not use logging software. I did not know exactly what information the cabrillo log required when participating in the contest so there is some data that I cannot provide. The checks, precedences of individuals, and QSO numbers of my contacts are unknown. ARRL sections are based on the state my contacts listed they were in and an FCC license data lookup. I conducted RS reports but the given template does not indicate that I should be including them. My 3rd QSO (DL6MHG) is a DX station in Germany so I am unsure as to whether I can provide an ARRL section. |
| W4DFU FL College/University |
| It was my first time participating in School Club Roundup, and Monday was even my first time working sideband! We're looking forward to the next Roundup in February with more students participating. See you on the air! |
