[Mldxcc] OQP

[Bill Haddon]

Regarding number of stations in Ontario QSO party:

-- 41 different VA3/VE3 callsigns in my 106 Q log (14 were worked just
once).
--  I worked 39 different Ontario stns in the 2013 CQP.
-- there were 31 Ontario logs submitted to CQP in the non-CA club
competition.

-- There are  20,000 amateurs in Ontario, so about 1 in 500 participate in
OQP  (0.2%) In CA I suppose we have 70,000 hams, but a higher percentage
participate in CQP. .  maybe 500 or 0.7 %?
