Harvard Wireless Club Bulletin, November 11, 1999

Hello HWC,

Ordinarily I'm a fan of DX contests. However, the SS is a real interesting contest in that it brings out a tremendous number of stateside operators, many of whom are operating under their own call signs. I had fun scanning the special event log for well-known calls and so I did the same with Bill's SS CW log. Here's an annotated list of calls that I think you'll find interesting. So who did Bill work?
