This year we had some intramural competition to keep things interesting.
Despite our attempt to slow him down by using feature-rich TRLog, 'EST Bob
wins the QSOs and Mults crowns 1603/474. Challenger Jim, N6IG, took over
15m for a not too shabby 1309/275 and is our new rate champion with a first
hour of 158.
Also, unlike last year, our team had some real competition ...

Too close for comfort! On 80m, where we had the Miki advantage, we had nearly
double the QSO points. We may still need that 2nd 4 square on 80m. (Imagine
Miki with a 4 square; would he get excited and raise his voice?) With the
stack on 40m sans nearby horizontal wires we could Kick Butt once again.
Probably don't need a 4 square here. Dave, K8CC came to the April NCCC
meeting and proffered the usual excuses (it was a new crew, we were still
arguing what call to use 10 min before the contest started, etc...) but
we agreed that it was a FUN competition.
Drop-in Paolo, IK8ETA, had never logged with a computer before, but was up
and
running 'em on 10m within two hours Saturday afternoon. His Spanish was very
effective into South America. He had so much FUN he stayed overnight and did
it again Sunday.
Steve and Tony as usual pounded them out on 40m and 10m with lots of help from
the relief ops Kenny and Paolo. Kenny treated the whole team to a BBQ
Saturday evening; careful Kenny, or we will start calling this a 'tradition'.

Once again, zero point Qs were one third of our total, and one third of our
multipliers. Can't live with 'em; can't live without 'em.

Once again, 'EST Bob worked 'em so fast he worked 'em first, but this means
he worked the highest fraction of zero pointers too.

Once again, casual operators were important, but not nearly as prevelant.
Last year QSO #1's accounted for 24% of our QSOs and 20% percent of our
mults. and those with ten or less QSOs accounted for 61% and 55% percent of
our mults. Perhaps this means they were making more QSOs this year!
We worked these two counters on all six bands:
KH7R
ZL4SO
these eight on five bands (missing):
VA3DX (10)
VA3SK (10)
VE6FI (10)
VE6FR (10)
VE6JY (10)
VE6SV (10)
VE7SZ (10)
VE7ZZZ (10)
(wait until 10m REALLY opens!)
and two clueless non-counters as well on five bands
(I'm certain their hearts were in the right place.)
Our score was up nearly 50% from last year (as AE0M), with slightly better
conditions, but not much better EU conditions. 80, and 160 were noisy. It
was nice to have an operating team with international flavor, plus a
distinguished visitor from the east coast, K1KI!
