The claimed scores vary widely as to how they have been determined,
depending on what logging program was used and whether the information
was properly entered and extracted. I have reported the claimed scores
as reported to the 3830 score reflector, even though they are
inconsistently determined. The actual scores depend on the QSO points
per QSO (based on distance between center points of Grid Squares) and
power multipliers plus a bonus for copying QRP and LP stations.
Obviously, the latter item isn't known to the station submitting the
scores. So, the only real comparison that can be made will be based on
the final scores as determined by the log checking program.

Sign Ups for teams for NAQP CW and SSB in January are coming along. So
far, for CW Teams, we have: K4BAI, AA4CF, KU8E, N4XL, and NM2L. For
SSB teams, we have AA4CF and N4XL. Historically, we don't seem to make
up our minds until just before the contests, but I'd appreciate your
letting me know ASAP if you can be on a team and how much you hope to
operate and whether you will be LP or QRP.

2015! 73, John, K4BAI.
