Monthly News (SCCCORE - SoCal Contest Club Operations, Results and Enlightenments)
May 2025
N6NB We learned in mid-April of the passing of SCCC member Wayne Overbeck, N6NB. Wayne was perhaps best known for his many VHF, UHF and microwave endeavors, especially as a rover in those contests. Some of his organized roving efforts with others caused some rule changes to the ARRL contests. It's not that he was bending the rules. Rather, he was following the rules to the letter, and taking advantage of them. The group's results set many records at the time. Beginning in 2015, he began building "senior friendly" roving stations so that one did not have to climb onto car roofs, etc. He also had a formidable fixed contest station in Tehachapi, one that earned many awards and plaques between 1992 and 2011. He was aslo involved in the SCCC XE2SI efforts in CQWW DX in the early 1980s. Wayne was a force in contesting. We will miss him. His wife, Carrie says a service is planned in June or possibly a bit later. Many, many stories and articles are on his web page at N6NB.com
