In many parts of the country VHF FM activity is very sparse. Entries in
the SOFM category have tended to cluster around the population centers and the
Top 5 have QSOs on all of the bottom four bands. Additionally, four of them
turned in “golden logs” with no mistakes — must be the
high-fidelity audio. The scores are definitely going up and this year one op
reached the 100-QSO level on 2 meters, no mean feat for any single operator. This top score in the SOFM category was submitted by
GA station Ryan, KK4OSG who shattered his old category record yet again with a
7K golden log. None of the other Top 5 stations from last year repeated.
Steve, KI6JJW from EB posted a score of 1.2K to take second. N9VM (Vic, N1VM)
and Chip, W7AIT, both from SJV, placed 3rd and 4th, followed by Dean, K2JB from
NC.
