Last weekend's big contest was Alabama QSO Party, of course. Most of
the logging programs had difficulty scoring the contest and I am
reporting the scores as I received them except for some obvious errors
that were corrected. The score of N4JF is too high because his logger
counted mults per band and I don't know how to refigure his score. The
score of N4PN is too low for similar reasons. K4AB's score is probably
overstated since the mults are probably too high. At the end lined up by
QSO totals are the information obtained on other stations who were QRV
who didn't submit a claimed score. Thanks for all the QSOs for W4AN/M.
We hope to hear from NY4N/M soon and I assume Jeff with Becky driving
will have a big score. Nobody else has seemed to make the observation,
but I thought band conditions were terrible at the start (we only made
two QSOs in Chambers County at the start) and got better until perhaps
the last hour when signals on 40 dropped and signals on 80 for mobile
stations seemed still pretty limited geographically. Lot of fun for me
and thanks to Jeff for the rig, car, driver, and encouragement and a few
QSOs before the computer went out. Hope we can figure out the problem
before the next county activity.

This week's contests:
1. NCCC Ladder 6/13. Slow Speed practice at 0200-0215, max 22 wpm. 80
and 40 CW. Regular Ladder event: 0230-0300Z Friday (Thursday local).
160-20M CW. LP, 100W max. Exchange: Both calls, #, name, SPC. Dupes
OK after one intervening QSO. 2 kHz QSY rules. Mults count per band.
2. ANARTS WW RTTY Contest. 48 hours of Sat and Sun UTC. 80-10M
digital modes (except CW). Exchange: RST + time UTC + CQ Zone #. CQ
zone is 05 for GA and 04 for AL. Work everyone.
3. Portugal Day Contest. 24 hours of Sat UTC. 80-10M SSB. Exchange:
RS + serial # or CT district. Work everyone.
4. Asia-Pacific Sprint, SSB. 11-13Z Sat 10 and 15M SSB. Exchange: RS
+ serial #. Work A-P stations only. 6 kHz QSY rule. Suggested freq:
14250-280; 21250-280.
5. GACW WWSA CW Contest. 15Z Sat to 15Z Sun. 80-10< CW. Exchange:
RST + CQ Zone. Work everyone.
6. Wet Virginia QSO Party. 16Z Sat to 02Z Sun. 80-10M CW, SSB.
Exchange: RS(T) + SPC or WV county.
7. ARRL June VHF QSO Party. 18Z Sat to 03Z Mon. 50 mHz and up, all
modes. Exchange: 4 character grid square. Work once per band
regardless of mode.
8. Flying Pigs QRP Club June Run for the Bacon Sprint. 01-03Z Mon (Sun
night local). 160-10M CW, 5W QRP maximum. Exchange: RST + SPC + FP#
or power output. You can work QRP stations regardless of your power,
but only QRP stations are recognized in the scoring summaries.
Looks like something for everyone this weekend: CW, SSB, RTTY, QRP,
sprints, and VHF. Hope everyone has a good weekend and a lot of fun and
QSOs. Look for me in the VHF contest, the FP sprint, the NCCC Ladder,
and probably a bit in the WWSA and possibly the A-P SSB Sprint if
propagation permits. I'd guess we would have good propagation to JA and
the Pacific on 20M. Last night in a QRP event, FO5RH answered me at
0207Z on 14060 when I was CQing with 5 watts and my beam NE! That's the
magic of ham radio--you never know what will happen next. 6M could be
great in the VHF contest if we are lucky. Don't forget to look for CW
stations mostly below 50.1 even though most of the activity is on SSB.
We can do very well with weak signals on CW on that band. Also, when
VHF is quiet, the WV QSO Party is usually fun and may bring out some
rare WV counties.
73,
John, K4BAI.
