W1WBB NEQP update

Outstanding to see the total club claimed scores now at well north of 1 Meg.  A few of us have already submitted our scores electronically.  There is a “logs received” area at the NEQP website (click on “results” tab; then click on “logs received”) to verify your log indeed arrived.

Congrats to Jeff K1NEF who I heard on CW numerous times running stations very impressively, as well as Chris KA1GEU doing the same on SSB…great job guys.

…and Jack K2RS (aka KR1CW) — your wires were singing too.

Sorry to John ‘XX — reversed my 75m phone freqs and missed you.  Thanks for the many Q’s and motivation to stay in the chair.

Worked W1AN in the last minute Saturday night on CW;  found K1DM and W1FH on CW in last minutes Sunday eve…good timing fellas.

INCREDIBLE to see Rick’s (KI1G) score around *100k pts more* than the previous NEQP all-time HP record…and Jim KS1J in the vicinity of the LP record.  Amazing ops/stns/efforts!

It was fun to be a part of a great team effort for NEQP 2011.  Now time to ensure your log is properly received.

Comments:

Propagation conditions for high bands seemed somewhat below average for recent
months during the solar cycle upswing for my modest LP/wires station…my SSB
totals particularly show the story.  40m and 80m were relatively QRN quiet for
this time of year, especially Sunday.

S&P’d more on Saturday to work the 7QP and INQP folks who would not be around
on Sunday.  Exchanged 45+ serial #’s with ARI participants during weekend.
Worked 43 US states, 6 VE provinces and 25 DX.

Put in alot of chair-time along with many fellow CT/RI CG members in hopes of
establishing new club record score.

Thanks to all the in-region , out-of-region and DX participation this year.
