The claimed scores vary widely as to how they have been determined, 
depending on what logging program was used and whether the information 
was properly entered and extracted.  I have reported the claimed scores 
as reported to the 3830 score reflector, even though they are 
inconsistently determined.  The actual scores depend on the QSO points 
per QSO (based on distance between center points of Grid Squares) and 
power multipliers plus a bonus for copying QRP and LP stations. 
Obviously, the latter item isn't known to the station submitting the 
scores.  So, the only real comparison that can be made will be  based on 
the final scores as determined by the log checking program.

Sign Ups for teams for NAQP CW and SSB in January are coming along. So 
far, for CW Teams, we have:  K4BAI, AA4CF, KU8E, N4XL, and NM2L.  For 
SSB teams, we have AA4CF and N4XL.  Historically, we don't seem to make 
up our minds until just before the contests, but I'd appreciate your 
letting me know ASAP if you can be on a team and how much you hope to 
operate and whether you will be LP or QRP.

This Week's Contests:

Hope everyone has a nice week and weekend.  I hope to get back both of 
my amplifiers repaired on Friday, so I should be able to run QRP, LP, or 
HP after that.  Happy New Year to all and let's be active on the air in 
2015!  73, John, K4BAI.
