1.  CQ WPX RTTY

N2XD   SC   1184  403  1,211,821  26.5 hrs.  SOABHP
WX4TM  AL   1284  415  1,206,820  30         SOABLP
K9MUG  AL   1035  387    937,314  24         SOABHP
NR4X   GA    334  184    130,660  ?          SOABLP (?)  By K4SB
AE4Y   GA    347  176    110,528  14.5       SOABLP
WB6BWZ GA    339  147     91,728  25.8       SOABQRP
NA4W   AL    293  183     83,631  13         SOABHP      By K4WI
KZ5AA  AL     77   64     12,864  7          SOABQRP     By K4VU

A real good showing, especially for an RTTY contest.  K4EA was 
apparently active, but hasn't reported his score yet.  Don't know if 
KU8E was able to get operational on RTTY during the contest period or 
not, but he is at PJ4R this weekend for ARRL DX CW and will be looking 
to work all SECC members on all bands, of course.

It would be very nice if you would put down your club as SECC both on 
3830 reports and especially on your log submissions.

2.  2004 Dutch PACC Contest

          CQ QSOs  Ph QSOs  Mults    Score  Hour  Category
K4BAI    104      17       42       5,082  4.6   SOHP
KA1DWX    90      27       37       4,329  6.5   SOHP
N4GG      25       0       16         400  2     SOHP

I was able to work Dutch stations on all bands, 80 through 10, and on CW 
on all bands and on SSB on 20, 15, and 10.  There was a good sunrise 
Sunday opening on 80 and 40.  Lots of interesting new calls and prefixes.

3.  2004  Asia-Pacific Sprint Contest

K4BAI  1 QSO x 1 mult = 1 point.

This ran from 11 to 13 UTC on 40 and 20 meters.  40 meters (at least 
above 7025) was pretty much shot by the RTTY contest QRM and 20 meters 
didn't seem to be open to Asia-Pacific at that time.  JA6GCE pulled me 
through on 40 M!

4.  FISTS Club Winter Sprint.

K4BAI  GA  141 x 35 = 23,835.

Worked no GA or AL.  Did work WA3GNW on 15 meters.  Bands seemed to be 
good.  Worked one IK3 station and heard G3KYF working the contest, but 
missed him.  This 4-hour contest has a slower pace and seems very much 
like QRP contests except the power is not so limited.

5.  2004 OMISS QSO Party.

K4BAI  15 x 11 = 330.

Non-members apparently can only work members, so you can just listen 
around for a member to CQ.  They like to congregate on a net frequency 
and operate like a net.  You can eventually work through to them.  I 
heard and worked at least one GA station.  75 meters was good to the 
West Coast.  I think the only real contester that I recognized in the 
contest was W7KB who is either formerly K6IF or it was K6IF operating at 
W7KB.  W7KB had a teriffic signal from Utah on 75 meters.

73,


John, K4BAI.
