Thanks to all the school stations that were on the air this year!
See y'all in Feb. 2026!

This is my 3rd October School Club Roundup! Some of my favorite things about this contest is talking
to youth at schools from all over the country, and making new friends over the air! I also love that
youth get to make contacts around the world and learn all about radio! Thanks to all who contacted
me over the air! Hope to see you next time around!

Rambler Radio Club operated with 18 students for Fall School Club Roundup: 10 were first-time
operators for the contest.  Since we do not have a permanent station on our campus, we continued our
tradition of operating portable from our concession stand at our school’s football field. I
encourage school clubs to send their daily results to their building administration as well as to
the members of the local Board of Education - these are the folks within the system who need to see
our capabilities and can be some of our greatest cheerleaders for amateur radio in schools. We want
to thank the international ham radio community for their growing and continued support for the
School Club Roundup contest - with your continued support, the future of amateur radio remains
bright in the next generation of students.

Case Western Reserve University's W8EDU had good involvement from faculty and students, who ranged
from amateur extra licensees to those just starting their amateur radio adventures.  This was our
first School Club Roundup with new towers and antennas.  Conditions were noisy but that's life in an
urban radio environment.  Great fun, and thanks ARRL and CARP and LIMARC for keeping the School Club
Roundup going.  --AD8Y, CARC faculty advisor
