Last weekend's big contest was Alabama QSO Party, of course.  Most of 
the logging programs had difficulty scoring the contest and I am 
reporting the scores as I received them except for some obvious errors 
that were corrected.  The score of N4JF is too high because his logger 
counted mults per band and I don't know how to refigure his score.  The 
score of N4PN is too low for similar reasons.  K4AB's score is probably 
overstated since the mults are probably too high. At the end lined up by 
QSO totals are the information obtained on other stations who were QRV 
who didn't submit a claimed score.  Thanks for all the QSOs for W4AN/M. 
  We hope to hear from NY4N/M soon and I assume Jeff with Becky driving 
will have a big score.  Nobody else has seemed to make the observation, 
but I thought band conditions were terrible at the start (we only made 
two QSOs in Chambers County at the start) and got better until perhaps 
the last hour when signals on 40 dropped and signals on 80 for mobile 
stations seemed still pretty limited geographically.  Lot of fun for me 
and thanks to Jeff for the rig, car, driver, and encouragement and a few 
QSOs before the computer went out.  Hope we can figure out the problem 
before the next county activity.

OK after one intervening QSO.  2 kHz QSY rules.  Mults count per band.

2.  ANARTS WW RTTY Contest.  48 hours of Sat and Sun UTC.  80-10M 
digital modes (except CW).  Exchange:  RST + time UTC + CQ Zone #.  CQ 
zone is 05 for GA and 04 for AL.  Work everyone.

3.  Portugal Day Contest.  24 hours of Sat UTC.  80-10M SSB.  Exchange:

night local).  160-10M CW, 5W QRP maximum.  Exchange:  RST + SPC + FP# 
or power output.  You can work QRP stations regardless of your power, 
but only QRP stations are recognized in the scoring summaries.

Looks like something for everyone this weekend:  CW, SSB, RTTY, QRP, 
sprints, and VHF.  Hope everyone has a good weekend and a lot of fun and 
QSOs.  Look for me in the VHF contest, the FP sprint, the NCCC Ladder, 
and probably a bit in the WWSA and possibly the A-P SSB Sprint if 
propagation permits.  I'd guess we would have good propagation to JA and 
the Pacific on 20M.  Last night in a QRP event, FO5RH answered me at 
0207Z on 14060 when I was CQing with 5 watts and my beam NE!  That's the 
magic of ham radio--you never know what will happen next.  6M could be 
great in the VHF contest if we are lucky.  Don't forget to look for CW 
stations mostly below 50.1 even though most of the activity is on SSB.
We can do very well with weak signals on CW on that band.  Also, when 
VHF is quiet, the WV QSO Party is usually fun and may bring out some 
rare WV counties.

73,

John, K4BAI.
