[NLRS] January Contest Results

[W0ZQ at aol.com]

As JK pointed out, the January VHF contest  results are out on the ARRL's 
website.   I noticed that both W0ZQ/R  and W0GHZ had some negative numbers in 
their band counts.   A quick  scan of the entire database shows some other 
negative numbers here and  there.   It looks as if the League may have a bug, 
perhaps an  algorithm bug, that needs to be looked at.   I did drop Dan a note  
indicating the problem.   In looking through the scores, I don't think  it will 
change much if anything, but heck, we chase for those Q's (and darn hard  in 
January), so we should get positive credit for them !  

Regarding the contest results, some highlights:
*  NLRS finished 7th of 19 clubs in the Medium category with 24  logs.   
Badger Contesters were 9th with 13 logs while the CVVC  finished in 4th place (of 
nine clubs) in the Local category.     Congratulations to all three clubs !
*  Rich, N0HJZ, was 7th in the Nation in the QRP Portable class.
*  Division leaders were N0KP (Low Power), W0GHZ (High Power), N0HJZ  
(Portable), and KC0IYT/R (Rover).
*  K9MU and N0VZJ with 20 grids on 6m, and oddly enough both had 20  grids on 
2m as well !    N0KP with 11 grids on 222.  On 432,  N0VZJ with 14 grids and 
N0KP with 13.   W0GHZ with 5 grids on 902  and 9 grids on 1296.
*  Nationally, KB0LYL leading ALL 2m QSO totals (Low Power) with  167 Q's !
 
Again congratulations to all who braved the rather poor conditions.
 
On a slightly different theme, take a look at the band scores for N6NB/R,  
N6ZZ/R, and N6MU/R who generated rover scores of over 2M points  each.   They 
activated 22 grids (lots of driving !), but note how many  grids they have on 
EACH band ..... hmmmm, 22.   Each rover made  about 2,000 Q's, but apparently 
all, or certainly mostly all, with themselves  (aka, grid circling).
