[Elecraft] (LONG) Run For The Bacon 2006 Results

[Larry Makoski W2LJ]

Wow!  It's been quite a year!  First and foremost, thanks to every 
single one of you who have participated in the Flying Pigs monthly "Run 
For The Bacon Sprint".  The only way I can guage participation is when 
the participants use the "Autolog"; or send me their logs via e-mail or 
snail mail.  I know from month to month there were a few individuals 
that participated that did NOT send in their scores.  So the actual 
figures are slightly better than I can report.  But from what I have, I 
can tell you that in 12 Sprints, we had 421 entries recorded throughout 
the year; for an average of 35 participants per month.  Not too shabby!

Before I announce the top winners for the year, here are December's results:

Taking First Place was Bill, K1EV with 816 points.  Second place for 
December is awarded to Greg, K4KO, while Third Place is awarded to Barry 
K4CZ.  You will all receive certificates in the mail; and Bill, you will 
be receiving the special Holiday Piggie Prize courtesy of Jeff, K3OQ.

K1EV    816 pts.
K4KO    770 pts.
K4CZ    765 pts.
NØJRN   648 pts.
W9NX    418 pts.
K4BAI   297 pts.
KA2KGP  252 pts.
KD2MX   243 pts.
WA3OFF  189 pts.
K5JHP   168 pts.
W2LJ    147 pts.
WA8THK  108 pts.
K3NCO   108 pts.
K8BTD   108 pts.
N1VWD   048 pts.
K7TQ    040 pts.
N2COD   015 pts.
W9ILF   012 pts.
K5GQ    009 pts.
K3OQ    006 pts.
AA7DX   003 pts.
K3DCB   003 pts.
AD7AN   003 pts.
K6BBQ   000 pts.
KC5GXL  000 pts.
KB9BVN  000 pts.

Now, the top award for the year, "The Top Hog of the Sty Award" goes to 
none other than John Laney, K4BAI.  John finished in 1st Place four 
times this year; and in all finishes where John placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd 
he accumulated 23,083 points.  Second Place winner for the year goes to 
Dick Housden, WØNTA.  Dick finished in 1st place twice and in all his 
top three finishes, Dick accumulated 12,769 points.  Third Place 
finisher for the year goes to Bob Patten N4BP.  Bob also placed 1st 
twice; and in all his top 3 finishes for they year, he accumulated 9,756 
points.  All three gentlemen will be receiving special certificates for 
their yearly totals and will be receiving special Piggie mementos as well.

There will also be Certificates of Achievement given to those who 
participated in at least 10 of the 12 RFTBs.  You folks will be 
receiving your certificates in January.  However, I would like to pay 
special attention and mention those who had "perfect attendance".  These 
devoted Sprinters made ALL 12 RFTBs.  They are: K4KO, K6BBQ, KA2KGP, 
KD2MX, NØJRN, W2LJ, W9NX, and WA8THK.

Once again, thanks to all of you who have participated in RFTB.  We try 
to run this monthly event in the spirit of the Flying Pigs - "just 
fun!"  I hope you've all enjoyed it as much as I have and I hope to see 
you all back in 2007.  And a special invitation goes out to all of you 
who haven't participated; or perhaps have never tried a QRP Sprint.  
Join us one month!  I guarantee that you will make friends and have a 
good time.  You don't even need to be an FP to join in (but we invite 
you to join, anyway!)
