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!

The organizational meeting was held July 17, 1976 at the QTH of W6RTT. Leigh, WB6OLD (now KR6X) put out a flyer to 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.

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!

SCCC Bulletin SCCCORE, November-December, 1984 Notes from the recent SCCC XE2SI CQWW SSB operation. And I quietly drop "Interim" from my title of Club President, meaning I had given up on finding a permanent prez.

SCCC Bulletin QRZ TEST, July-August, 1982 The third in a series of test names for the bulletin. You can clearly see the paste job I did to attach the bulletin name in those days. Graphics and "fancy" fonts were out of reach, so pasting to the master was the order of the day.


SCCC Bulletin SCCCORE, May-June, 1982 In this issue, we use the bulletin name SCCCORE for the first time. It will be a few more months before it becomes permanent.


SCCC Bulletin WINNER'S CIRCLE, March-April, 1982 NE6I takes over as Bulletin Editor and begins testing different bulletin names in hopes of finding one that sticks. Dot matrix printers could not yet print different font sizes, at least not the one I had available. The bulletin names were created using rub-on letters obtained from the office supply area of a local store. Primitive but effective!

The bulletin is undated but the following issue confirms that this is the January, 1982 issue.
