[Fourlanders] September contest results

[Rogers, Ron]

The first couple of paragraphs of the article paints a more realistic picture of the contest conditions overall and resulting discouragement, to the point only a small percentage actually sent in logs this time >>



 "Log submissions were down this year with a total of 434 entries. However, log submissions only tell a part of the story. Checking all of the submitted logs indicates that a total of about 2800 stations made at least one contact with one of the 434 entrants. Thus, only 15% of the contest participants actually sent in a log."

The September results were just released on the ARRL Web page.



We were 10th in Full Multi with the terrible conditions.  Apparently

some other areas of the country fared a little better with propagation.

  Also, if we had entered limited we would have been 8th.  At least we

showed in the top ten.  I was figuring we wouldn't even make that with

the paltry 17k points.



Anyway, check out the article on the ARRL web site.

Let's hope that there is decent propagation for the contest this weekend.



73, Bob
