[SMCARA] Maryland QSO Party

[Tom Shelton]

Hi All,

I’ve just submitted our log and summary sheet for last weekend’s Maryland QSO Party.

Last year our total score was 4,340 and this year we upped that score to 5,909 (a 36% increase – if my math is right).  We had a total of 189 QSO Points (12 Clubs @ 10 point each, 1 QRP station at 4 points, and 65 Standard phone stations at 1 point each).  We had a total of 31 multipliers (14 Maryland Counties, 15 States and Provinces, and 1 DX).  We also got 50 bonus points for working W3VPR (the Anne Arundel Radio Club station – the contest sponsors).

Thanks to the operators: W4OKW, KB3YSR, KB3YPY, KG3BOZ, and AB3IC (If I missed someone, my apologies)

We’ll be doing this again next year, hopefully with a better antenna and digital/CW capabilities added to the club station.

Tom Shelton, AB3IC
