> Overall, the club results were a mixed bag this year.  On the down side, 
> comparing 2009 to 2010, we had fewer logs (15 vs 31) and a lower overall 
> score (469,380 vs 1,502,667). This isn't too surprising as NLRS put in a 
> major effort with the W0AUS multiop in 2009, so we were a bit more burnt 
> out come 2010.  Many of the clubs hard core UHF guys are also involved in 
> the 10 GHz & Up contest, and play in June as well.  With the June VHF 
> contest, CQWW VHF in July, the Central States gathering, the August UHF 
> contest, then the two 10 GHz & Up weekends in August & September, its not

> On the positive side, NLRS still managed to limp into second place in the

> these results are in BIG part due to the nations top SOHP score from Mike, 
> KM0T, who secured the #1 SOHP spot in the nation for the sixth year in a 
> row.  Count them, six years in a row!  Mikes 338,574 points accounted for 
> 72% of our clubs score!!.   Across the club other notable scores came from 
> Paul, W0UC, who finished 7th in the nation in the SOLP category and Bruce, 
> W9FZ/R, who finished 9th in the nation in the Rover category.  Nice going 
> guys.  Club logs were submitted by K0AWU, K0SIX, KC0P/R, KM0T, N0AKC. 
> N0HZO/R, W0GHZ, W0GHZ/R, W0OHU, W0UC, W0ZQ, W0ZQ/R, WA0VPJ, WA2VOI/R, and 
> WB0LJC/R. These stations made the following number of contacts: 222 (196), 
> 432 (318), 902 (86), 1296 (113),
>
>  2304 (63), 3456 (34), 5760 (40), 10G (103), 24G (8).
