[PPRAANet] 2023 WINTER field day results!

[LD Steiner]

Hello PPRAA,

One of my favorite field day traditions is, when we're packing up our 
gear and getting ready to camp and operate, I like to pull up the 
results from the previous field day, which usually take several months 
to be published. So we can look at the previous season's final scores to 
get excited about the field day on which we're about to embark!

Remember what it was like, trying to get the warm air from the stove 
directed to our toes to keep them from freezing while we operated? 
Remember chipping ice off the generator to be able to refuel? Remember 
layering up to run out and grab an armload of firewood? Remember good 
times with friends, hot chocolate, hot cider, and rag-chewing with our 
fellow hams?

All those efforts seem to have paid off. For Winter Field Day 2023, 
PPRAA, call sign AF0S, earned 7250 points, which means we placed:

  * #46 out of all outdoor stations nationwide!
  * #17 out of all 2-transmitter outdoor stations nationwide!
  * #2 out of all Colorado stations of any kind!
  * #1 out of all Colorado outdoor stations!

The only Colorado station that earned more points was Scott Allen/W0SJE, 
who had a 1H station and beat us with multipliers. I've posted a 
screenshot of the scores for all Colorado stations at

Congratulations everyone! Nice work, and I look forward to having a fun 
time for summer field day on June 24-25 at Mountain View Electric. See 
you there!
