Here is my score.  I heard W4ML but that's about it for CVCC.   Did anyone else play?  If so send me your summary as soon as possible.  

W4PM - SO Assisted High Power
Band    QSOs    Pts  Cty
   1.8       6      18    6
   3.5     153     459   57
     7     409    1224   91
    14     308     921   85
    21     277     828   78
    28     231     693   83
 Total    1384    4143  400
Score: 1,657,200

This won't win any awards but at least it beats my last year score by about 320,000 points.  (plus 200 Q's and 21 mults!)

This year 10 meters was HOT HOT HOT!  Even with my wire and 100 watts most stations I called came back!  As you can see 40 is my best band!  80 had a lot of QRN the 2nd night so I stayed on 40.  160 is not a DX band for me - Too much local noise all the time.  

I hope we have a few scores for the Local Club entry.  If all we have is W4ML and W4PM we need a BIG push on SSB from the rest of the club.  I do not do SSB!  If 10 is as HOT on SSB as it was on CW you can have fun with a wire in the trees and low power. Look at my 10 meter results again.  Think what could have been done with a beam and some power!  I expect to see some extremely high 10 meter scores!

We will enter the club competition as a Local Club so no more than 10 logs!  Do not send in your logs till you check with me first!  

73,
Puck W4PM
