Great idea, Bill!
I think the main reason the SEDXC did so well with the CQ160 contests is
that those are the only contests they supported -- there are distinct
advantages to concentrating on one event!
As a contest club, SECC should be able to bring out big-time support for
several contests (which we have already done, but on a irregular basis).
I will suggest Activity Directors for specific contests -- Our informal team
coordinators for NAQP and Sprint teams are examples. I will volunteer to
promote SECC participation in the ARRL 160 and CQWW 160 CW contests.
We have Bill W4AN for NAQP and Sprint...
Who's the next volunteer? 10M? ARRL DX?

P.S. In SS this weekend, I'm gunning for a personal best of 130k+ (QRP).
