The Yankee Clipper Contest Club is a special-purpose amateur radio club devoted to the pursuit of operating and technical excellence. Our goals are simple:

• To promote the fun, satisfaction and competitive thrill of radio contesting
• To assist our members in the development of their operating and technical skills
• To win the club competition of the major amateur radio contests

We would love to have you join us!
