I think we’ve got all the scores from everyone. MNQP is in the rearview mirror and, WOW, what a great day it was! The weather was great, propagation was good on five bands, and activity was thick!
It looks like we’ve got two new State Records! Bill, AC0W, and Kylee, KE0WPA, piloted the W0AA to a new Multi-Op record! It also looks like Dan, W0CN, has grabbed a new record in the Low-Power Phone category! Congratulations to Bill, Kylee & Dan!!
As the dust is settling, we’re seeing some incredible competition for some of the plaques! The Low-Power CW leaders are separated by one QSO……one QSO! Mike, N0BUI, has a score of 77,794 points while John, K0TG, has a score of 77,784 points. That is one QSO or one mult, over a ten hour timeframe! Wow! In the mobile category, it looks like the N0A team of AG9A & N5OT beat N0HJZ. The N0A score is 176,904 points versus the N0HJZ score of 176,148 points. That’s six QSO’s, or one mult, over a ten hour period. Unreal! If you ever think you should stay in your chair for a few more QSO’s…..do it! You never know!
