Note the close race in GA between K4BK/4 and K4OD, who are brothers. 
Note the close to perfect countdown on the multipliers.  It shows that 
multipliers in this contest come from the number of QSOs.  The exception 
is with WW4LL, who was assisted.  Obviously, the spots helped.  KF4GTA 
is also an exception.  Bobby was out of town until the final hours of 
the contest when there were more US QSOs and multipliers to be had on 20 
than DX.  Otherwise, with his QSO and mult total, his final score would 
have been higher.

This week's contests:

1.  NCCC Sprint Ladder.  Tonight.  0230-0300Z Friday.  160-10 CW. LP. 
SO.  Exchange:  Both calls, #, Name, SPC.  1 khz QSY rule.  Dupes OK 
after band change or one intervening QSO.

2.  QCWA Sprint QSO Party.  18Z Sat to 18Z Sun.  160-UHF.  CW/Ph/Mixed. 
  Exchange:  Last two digits of year licensed + QCWA Chapter # or SPC. 
Non members send SPC, same as QCWA members who are not in a Chapter.

3.  April ARS Spartan Sprint.  Monday local.  01-03Z Tuesday.  80-10M CW 
QRP.  Exchange:  RST + SPC + power.

This is a split weekend, March 31 and April 1, and that explains the 
lack of major contests.  QCWA was wise to schedule their contest on this 
weekend and I plan to operate a lot in it, although I will be out of 
town for part of the contest period.  Hope everyone has a nice weekend 
and makes a lot of QSOs, even if they have to be outside of contests.

73,


John, K4BAI.
