[PVRCNC] Re: [PVRC] W3AO record

[Jim Jordan K4QPL]

It sure is nice to see those top scores for an "operating event."  ;^)
Congrats to that big score from W3AO.

We were pretty pleased with the "operating event" in the competitive 2A
category with N4C coming in nationally at #10 with a total of 4 ops (3 main
and 1 GOTA), PVRC'ers KO4PY, WJ9B, K4QPL and GOTA op N2PY.

Stats also showed N4C as 3rd in Roanoke Division and 2nd in NC for ALL
entries regardless of number of transmitters.

73,

Jim, K4QPL

Pete, I just realized maybe you meant the all-time transmitter total record.
If so, yes, you're right, that's a new record, we believe.  But, it's
clearly an unofficial thing, no one except us is paying attention to such
things, and ARRL makes a point of not making a fuss over anything that makes
it look more like a contest, etc.  Especially being PVRC (plus CARA), they
know we're contesters and don't want to make a big deal out of it if we
"win" Field Day, so as not to upset the general interest clubs who "compete
in" Field Day but don't consider it a contest, etc.  There are semantics and
politics involved, with FD being the biggest operating event of the year in
W/VE, and ARRL wants to keep the interest level in it high and not do or say
anything that might create a controversy amongst the non-contesters who go
out every year and "contest" in it.
73 - Rich, KE3Q
