[ILQSO] Results

[Danny Pease]

I will add to what Jim and Mark said. It takes a maximizing of the points by
a large number of entries for your club. Emphasis needs to be on the higher
point modes but not at the expense of missing all the possible multipliers
that may only be on one mode or the other.

I think when you see the breakdown of this year's results or if you look at
some of the past results, you will see the team winning the club trophy had
the most logs sent in as well as a number of county line/portable stations
and mobiles as well as fixed stations, using both modes.

My guess is it may take over 30 good logs in a club entry to have a chance
of winning the club plaque in the future. It will be interesting to see if
the new Rover class will start enticing the big gun county line stations to
start changing class and moving from one corner to another to maximize
points.

Lots of club enthusiasm.  

Multiple club entries.  

Stations on both modes.

Willingness to put in the whole eight hours,

At least a couple of county line portable stations and/or very active
mobiles.

GRVARS has done all of these the last few years and done them very well.

Do the math.  There were very few individual stations (fixed) with more
than 50K points.  It would be possible to make 500K points as a club
with half a dozen fixed stations, but it is very unlikely.

On the bright side, the new sunspot cycle has begun !

Looking at the club scores, I see a fairly logical progression of scores
up to Peoria, there is then a roughly 100,000 point gap between 3rd and
4th place, roughly 200,000 between 2nd and 3rd and another 300,000
roughly between 2nd and 1st.  With conditions being almost nonexistant
on 40, poor on 20 and ok on 80 from Kane County I'm wondering what the
key to achieving 500,000 or more points is? 1000 watts and a monsterIR
is not an acceptable answer! hihi
