Go to www.qrparci.org and look in the center of the page - you should see a
"Fall QSO Party results" posting with a ""click here" at the bottom of that
post - you'll find all of the participants listed - those highlighted in yellow
were category leaders and, along with the team and multi-op category leaders
receive the new, redone and soon to be highly coveted certificate.
Attendance was down from what I understand were the average numbers for the
Fall contest - 86 versus 108 - and not sure why....competition from the New
York and Illinois QSO Parties??? The Spring QSO Party averages 88 so we'll see
if that number holds up.
Don't forget the two events coming up in December:
- the Top Band Sprint from 0000Z to 0600Z on 2 December 2011. Note: this is
the evening of 1 December 2011 in North America - which is a nice "tune up"
event
for the ARRL 160 contest that follows right after that!
- the Holiday Spirits Home Brew Sprint on 18 December from 2000Z to 2359Z.
You can find the details of both at the QRP ARCI web site. The site master has
added the listings for all of the 2012 events (click on the QRP ARCI Contests
button on the left hand side of the page) and we'll be populating the rules and
info for each by the end of this month.
Please read the rules write ups over - one noticeable change has been the
requirement for additional information on your summary sheets. The rules for
all contest now show this for the summary submittable:
Submit
Logs in plain text format along with a summary stating -
Your Call Sign
Entry Category
total # of QSOs with members
total # of QSOs with
non-members on different continent
total # of QSOs with non-members
same continent
total # of SPCs worked
Actual Power
Station
Description, along with score calculation
The majority of entrants for the Fall QSO party sent in what their logging
program(s) outputted for a summary log and, trust me, little of the required
information was provided ---- with 80 plus logs, that was/is a lot of data and
logs to rummage through. Your assistance in taking the 10 to 15 minutes needed
to scrounge up that information is appreciated, SINCERELY, trust me!
Lookin' forward to hearing and working you the bands and in the upcoming
contests - 72, Jim Rodenkirch, K9JWV QRP ARCI Contest Manager
