Posted by: Jim/W4QO/Mild 70s GA Posted On: 05/30/00 Subject: OK here is my count for challenge Message Posted: In Reply to: Contest within Contest - QRP Cubs Alert posted by Jim/W4QO/Roswell, GA on 05/24/00 I extended a challenge to Cub owners to get on this weekend and add the total of their WPX contacts to their Hootowl Sprint contacts. The one with the highest raw count of QSOs (not QSO points) would win an ARCI tee shirt. Who entered? I feel like Ben Stein's Money here but I had 23. I didn't work anyone in the Hootowl because all I have is a 15m Cub and found no activity so switched to the other bands and worked 47 Qs but those don't count in this challenge. Can anyone top 23? I worked 4 continents in the WPX - needing JA (or Turkey or some Asian) and VK for WAC. I worked 14 countries with the best DX being Yugoslavia at 5258 miles beating Tunisia at 5100 miles (3V8BB, don't you just love those calls that start with a number?) I used the Distance Calculator from the QRP ARCI awards page to calculate. Just fed in my town and Tunisia. Came right back with answer. OK who can take the tee shirt away?  |
