Hi, Dimitri - PVRC has been around since 1947 and we have a mix of both - hens
and eggs. Some of the contesting giants in the early days started PVRC and many
of today's top operators learned from them - the goal is to continue to pass it
on. I think the same is true in FRC, YCCC, etc.
There are actually four things: hens/roosters, rooster-peditions, chicks and
eggs. PVRC has won US Sweepstakes for the last 10 years or so by having a few
roosters and lots of chicks, since there is no upper limit on the number of
operators in our club category!
But, in DX contests we don't have as many roosters or rooster-peditions that
FRC and YCCC, so we don't win DX contest club competitions.

contest clubs
Hi John,
Not too bad for this AI, but it seems that "robots" don't know the famous
question: who was there first, the egg or the hen?
<<<These clubs have a strong presence in the amateur radio contesting community
and have a reputation for producing top-performing operators.>>>
I'm not sure that's really how it works... It should have said " top performing
operators join well-know contest clubs"

I asked OpenAI's ChatGPT answer bot (the latest "this will change everything"
thingie) "What is the most successful amateur radio contesting club?
ChatGPT's answer kinda dissed PVRC by listing us 5th, but the very last
paragraph was pretty cool:
"It is difficult to determine the most successful amateur radio contest club,
as success can be measured in different ways. Some clubs may be successful in
terms of the number of members they have, while others may be successful in
terms of the number of awards or recognition they have received for their
contest performances. Additionally, different contests may have different
criteria for determining success.
There are many amateur radio contest clubs that have a strong focus on
contesting and have achieved recognition for their performance. Some examples
of well-known contest clubs include the Northern California Contest Club
(NCCC), the Frankford Radio Club (FRC), the Yankee Clipper Contest Club (YCCC),
the Arizona Outlaws Contest Club (AOCC), and the Potomac Valley Radio Club
(PVRC). These clubs have a strong presence in the amateur radio contesting
community and have a reputation for producing top-performing operators.
Ultimately, the most successful amateur radio contest club is one that meets
the needs and goals of its members and is able to consistently produce strong
contest results."
I also asked it how we could beat our 3A MD Field Day rivals (the carpetbagging
Loomis Jr. Mechanics League group from Charlottesville VA) and gave me the same
answer you give if someone asks "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" ie "practice,
practice, practice..."
