I haven't posted it to my website yet, but figured some of you would have fun analyzing the Excel spreadsheet. As usual, please let me know if you see any errors. My goal was zero errors. I hope I achieved it. You can download the spreadsheet here: http://www.kd8mq.net/pqp/files/PQP_2014/totals-2014.xlsx In way of an explanation, I do a summary sheet each year based on info posted in the final PA QSO Party results. My sheet lists the number of QSOs reported from each county during the contest. The Rarity factor that you'll see in the sheet corresponds to how rare the county was in that years contest. The lower the number, the rarer the county. This is just something I do to assist the Mobile, Portable, and Rover operators in making their plans for the next party. This is not put together by the Nittany club, so please don't gripe at Mike if you find an error. You're more than welcome to let me know if you catch something I missed. I hope you have fun with the spreadsheet. The 2014 numbers will be posted to kd8mq.net/pqp probably between now & Dayton. 73, John, KD8MQ From w3hkk at roadrunner.com Fri Mar 27 16:54:47 2015 From: w3hkk at roadrunner.com (w3hkk at roadrunner.com) Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 16:54:47 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] Clean Sweep award has arrived!
