Club Competition Update

The season is winding down and we’ve only got one more event in our expanded 2025-2026 contest season. Last weekend was our first focused effort in the WPX SSB event. With all our efforts, we managed a club score of 30,021,798 points. This is an increase of 139% over last year!

Our club score was anchored by two great multi-op efforts. K0KYL, ND0C & W0CN ventured south for an incredible effort at J62K. K0IR, NE9U & W0GJ braved the wind and snow while operating the CY0S DXpedition to a CY0 record score!

In the Team Competition, Team 5 won their seventh event of the season. The weekly standings were:

  • Team 5 – 12,710,726 Points – 5 Pts
  • Team 4 – 6,536,909 Points – 4 Pts
  • Team 3 – 5,116,100 Points – 3 Pts
  • Team 2 – 4,298,322 Points – 2 Pts
  • Team 1 – 1,359,741 Points – 1 Pt

With the victory, and barring a large change in the reported scores, Team 5 has wrapped up the Team Competition for the 2025-2026 season! Congrats to Team 5 for great activity all season! Consistent activity by the entire team has led to the win. Here are the point totals, with one event to go:

  • Team 5 – 68 Points
  • Team 4 – 61 Points
  • Team 3 – 51 Points
  • Team 2 – 32 Points
  • Team 1 – 28 Points

We now have a bunch of QSO Parties before our final “official” event, the CQ WPX CW Contest in late May.

Thanks to everyone that got on the air last weekend!

73,

MWA Friend Files

The various friend files for the different contest software have been updated based on current MWA membership. There are two versions for each program, one has MWA flag in the file so when it comes up on the screen you see MWA along with name, etc. Some people like this and others don’t.

The zip file name with MWA.zip at the very end has the MWA flag in the file.

Each zip file also has instructions on how to install with the particular software.
