[HCRA] HCRA tops WMA Section for Field Day 2010

[Jim Mullen]

Hey folks,

The results were just released for Field Day 2010. Once again HCRA's W1NY
station garnered first place in the ARRL's Western Massachusetts Division
(WMA). Here's a breakdown of where we landed in a number of different
categories.

Our total score was 9938 points, 2874 QSO's and we operated as a Class 7A
station. You can see a complete breakdown by band/mode on our website at:
http://www.hcra.org/fd2010.htm.

Here's the results of our efforts:

First Place WMA Section (out of 13 entries)
Third Place nationwide in Class 7A (out of 15 entries)
Seventh Place for all of New England (out of 154 entries)
44th Place in our power multiplier 2 class (out of 2241 entries) and

53rd place NATIONWIDE out of all 2617 stations reporting.

I think these scores pretty much tell it all. When a little radio club in
Western Massachusetts finishes in the top 2% of the country it says a lot
for our members and their accomplishments! Now we have a goal for next year
to shoot for, are you folks ready to do it all over again - only better?

Thanks to everyone that made this happen, from the folks on the ground doing
the erecting, operating, cooking and cleanup to those that supported us with
equipment loans, contacts and the moral support needed to keep us going for
24 hours and of course to all 2874 stations that worked us during the event.
A team effort that really spreads beyond our nation!

'73 for now and don't forget about the auction tomorrow night!
