Yankee Clipper Contest Club

For you contesters, DX'ers, and "Weekend Warriors" the Yankee Clipper Contest Club (YCCC) Web Site is one you should mark. The URL is: http://www.yccc.org

The Home page is uncluttered and easy to read. The index of features runs down the left hand side and is broken up into four major categories: About YCCC (obviously), Features (Including the best of past issues of the club newsletter, the "Scuttlebutt"), Links (featuring a DX Library section that has the latest news on DX-peditions), and Resources, which contains a wealth of information on the PacketCluster. The DX Library section alone makes it worth checking this site at least once a week.

Additional features include scores of the members in the contests and scores from other clubs, news and views, a "Contest Cookbook" written by the best DX-ers in the business and intended to sharpen your skills at operating, photos of YCCC members, various contest and membership links, agenda, etc.

If you're looking for snazzy graphics, etc., you won't find it here; but if you want up-to- the-minute information of the variety specified above, then this site is for you. On a scale of 1 to 100, I'd rate the site as a "90".

Next month, I'll list some other club sites around the country that might be of interest to you. For now, best 73.
