>> It was great to hear all of the activity on 160 meter CW last weekend in
>> the Spring Stew Perry test. We have already received 340 logs. There is
>> still plenty of time to submit your log if you haven't already.
>>
>> Perhaps you noticed our new web page which includes a spiffy new log upload
>> feature thanks to Bruce, WA7BNM. Most people are using this to upload
>> their logs. There is also another app, that allows you to easily enter
>> information if you kept a paper log.
>>
>> The preliminary scores were initially posted about 8 minutes after the end
>> of the contest, and they have been updated fairly often as more logs have
>> arrived. Most scores have increased by 10 percent or more due to the
>> multipliers they get for working LP and QRP stations. For example, the
>> current #1 score from ZF9CW went from 3,953 points up to 4,559 points.
>> Stan certainly had a big signal putting 74 Europeans in his log in addition
>> to 14 Asians. I worked him here in Oregon just after my sunset easily.
>>
>> A new feature in the score listing shows the average distance of the QSOs
>> you made. This was suggested by John, W2GD. It really shows how those
>> further away from Europe and the East Coast of the USA have an advantage to
>> overcome the increased difficulty of making QSOs. The stations in the
>> Southern Hemisphere easily "win" this category. CX6VM's average is 9480 km
>> for example.
>>
>> Also - another thank you to Bruce, WA7BNM and Ash, KF5EYY for their help
>> with improving the look and feel of the stew web page.
>>
>> http://www.kkn.net/stew
>>
>> If you missed this event, it is only 3 months until the next one - the
>> Summer Stew, which will be held on June 15th.
