[3830] K6VVA PVRC 60th Summary

[Eric Hilding]

Congrats to the PVRC on the Big SIX-O.

I'll leave it up to Howie, N4AF, to sort out if I've done the math right here...it was a manual accounting nightmare from two separate logs:

        Q  Q-Pts  M
80cw    1    2    1
40cw    9   18   10
20cw   27   54   11
20ssb   8   16    4
15cw    2    4    2
      ___  ___  ___

Total: 47   94   28 = 2,632 Total Points 

W3AU, W4KFC & W7YS Special Mult Stations were worked!  

SOAPBOX:

1. I was hoping to work 60 PVRC members for the special 60th award, but had trouble finding PVRC members to work !!!

2. I was thrilled to hear that old familiar W4KFC callsign again, exceptionally piloted by Buddy, W4YE ( http://www.k6vva.com/w4kfc_w4ye.mp3 ).

3. I discovered there were "Multiple" versions of the event Rules, which created some confusion (especially the "Official" operating times & when it was supposed to end).

4. I was confused as to whether the W4KFC, W3AU & W7YS "PVRC" Multipliers were just to be counted as one PVRC mult, or if they were each separate (I decided to count them separate :-)

5. I called "CQ PVRC" a lot and hooked a few PVRC members this way :-)  Tnx for the calls !!!

6. FOC pals K4BAI, NL7G & N0SS kindly responded to some of my lengthy Auto-CQing, as well as W7OM (Tnx, Guys).  I left them in my CW and SSB Cabrillo Logs, but as non-PVRC members, didn't count the Q's or Mults in the above figures.

7. Congrats again to the PVRC on the Big SIX-O (even though I didn't qualify for the award :-)
