W7DK was on the air for this year's Salmon Run Contest, September 16 and 17, and we did quite well, making 974 QSOs and meeting our goal of a Clean Sweep of Washington counties.  As it happens, we also swept all US states and Canadian provinces, and we even worked a few DX entities.

Operators were AD7LJ, AD7MA, K7MM, K7PIA, K7ZG, KA7DCX, KG7FZH, KK7IJY, KK7IKK, N7OMS, N9MII, W2NCC, W7ITL, W7MKE, W7XH, W7XTZ, WB4SPB and WG7X.

And as in previous years, the club has been conducting our annual Fundraiser in conjunction with the contest.  At this writing, 93 individuals have made pledges.  For those who pledged based on our performance in the contest, invoices will go out shortly.

The Salmon Run Fundraiser is one of the club's major sources of revenue, helping to keep the lights on and the property maintained.

Last year's donations helped to pay for much needed maintenance and repairs to our club house.  Of course, we still have several projects that we would like to complete, so huge thanks to those who have contributed in 2023.

If you have not yet had a chance to contribute, IT'S NOT TOO LATE. Please download our pledge form (or pick up a printed one in the club house kitchen) then make your contribution using one of the following methods:

- Open the form in your browser or a PDF reader and fill out the fields, save it, then email it to:  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or

Once again, thank you for your participation in the Radio Club of Tacoma 2023 Salmon Run fundraiser!
