NAQP-SSB
January 19-20, 2007
Thanks to
everyone who came out this weekend and contributed toward making our NAQP
operation another wonderful success.
We were ready to get on the air at
1:00 PM, after a fabulous lunch. As I recall, we were still working on the
antennas last year at the start of the contest, so we owe great thanks to our
antenna crew lead by Byron Black and his pneumatic spud gun.
Thanks also
to the many club members who set up and operated the stations.
I haven't
counted the number of operators in the logs yet, but I'm certain we'll come in
first again for total number of operators. Special thanks to Tom Azlin and
Byron Black for supplying our two stations.
After I go through the logs
and prepare our submission I'll post another note about total number of
contacts, multipliers, operators, etc. While I don't think we beat the CW
crew from last week in total number of contacts, if we add in bonus points
for our chocolate chip cookies, I'm sure we'll take the lead.
There were
lots of photos this year, and a lot of meta-photos as well. There were also lots
of laughs, lots of good things to eat, a roaring fire, and lots of fun on the
air.
We should do this again some time.
Preliminary Results (1/21/2008)
Subject to some adjustment before I submit our
log in the contest, here are the results:
We made 475 contacts on our two
stations. We had 19 operators in the log.
Here is our score
