[NLRS] 2023 10GHz & Up and the 222 & Up Distance Contests results

[Jon Platt]

While I have not seen the 2023 contest articles (nor the extended articles) posted on the Leagues website yet, the abbreviated contest results have been published in the most recent QST.  Congratulations to N0UK and K0HAC for placing 1st and 4th nationally in the 10GHz Contests 10GHz Only category, good show !  They also receive the most Q's per cubic feet of car space award.  Fellow club members keeping them company in the same operating category were W0ZQ in 3rd place and WB0LJC in 6th place nationally.  Congratulations to all.  
While we did enjoy excellent tropo for that contest, the best DX was happening just to our east with W8BYA making a 945 km contact with WQ0P.  Best DX on 24 GHz was 293 km (W6BY), 47GHz was 140 km (K2DH, VA3ELE, VA3TO), 75GHz was 58 km (KB8VAO, K8ZR), 123GHz was 5 km (VE4MA, VE4SA), and on 300+ GHz it was 8 km (AF1T, W1MKY, K1RZ, K1WHC).  Impressive DX on what is "line of sight". 
In the ARRL 222 & Up Distance contest we had only one club member showing in the top ten rankings for any category and that was KC0P/R and N0HZO/R who finished in 7th and 8th place respectively in the Rover category.  Congratulations to Mel and Carol for keeping the NLRS flag waving.  The club did finish in 5th place (out of 9 clubs) in the overall club competition with the 3rd highest number of club logs submitted.  Also, congratulations to Bill, K0AWU, who led the way on club scoring.  
Lots of fun for all, 50 MHz to Light.  Next up will be the band specific CSVHFS Sprint Sprints with the first one, the 2m Sprint, on Monday evening, April 1.  
73, JonW0ZQ
