SCCC Bulletins
The Southern California Contest Club (SCCC) was formed in 1976. If you have documents pertaining to it or can tell me the early history of the Club, please contact me.
This is not the official web page of the Southern California Contest Club, nor am I an officer of the club
any longer but I have
scanned and made available copies of the old club bulletins that I have in my possession. In those days,
there was no internet and thus no SCCC web site. Bulletins were written with a text editor or
early word processor and printed on a dot matrix printer. Copies were made at work or wherever a copier
could be found. Those copies were stapled, folded and stamped by hand. In fact,
most were addressed by hand too! My, how times have changed!

about 50 So Cal hams. On August 1, the first SCCC Board of Directors meeting was held at the home of WB6VZI
(now N6VI). The authors of the SCCC charter were W6EE, WA6TLV, W6RTT, WB6YBL, WB6OLD, WB6DOI, WA6OTU, KH6BZF and
WB6ZVC. The first official SCCC meeting took place on September 1, 1976 at the California Federal Savings and
Loan in Arcadia. Temporary officers were appointed and approved at this meeting. President: WB6ZVC (now N6TR),
Vice President/Contest Chairman: WB6OLD (now KR6X); Secretary/Treasurer: W6RTT. It was also announced that the SCCC
would be publishing the National Contest Journal. I bet most of you didn't know that little factoid!

Notes from the recent SCCC XE2SI CQWW SSB operation. And I quietly drop "Interim" from my title of Club President, meaning

were created using rub-on letters obtained from the office supply area of a local store. Primitive but effective!

in taking over publication, and yours truly volunteered to become the Bulletin Editor effective with the next issue.
