this seems wrong because KA1ARB has a score of 212,640 versus NK7U 212,000
that additional 300 Q's would have put us in the mix for the Top Ten overall if we did the correct call on the missed multiplier

We still did very good, another 300 Q's and we will move way up in the standings.

LCR -Log Checking Reports- Very informative

Amazing That I have not seen these before,
they have apparently been around for at least 4 years....

Here is some insight from the LCR of our 2006 SS Phone entry.........

There were 21 dupes found.  You might have marked these dupes.
For electronic logs, all dupes (marked or unmarked) are treated
the same with no penalties.


TIME ON CALCULATION
-------------------
2103-0723 =  621
1225-0200 =  816
        ------
On time = 1437 minutes (max of 1440).

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
VY2QT is a busted call.
The correct call is VY2TT.  
Not good we busted a call for a needed Multiplier
- we Lost our sweep !

You had 43 calls in your log which were not found in the
database of good callsigns.  
27 of them have been judged to be incorrect. 
These will be removed from your score -
along with an additional penalty of one QSO per
per busted callsign.
Unique percentage =  1.4

There were 39 exchange errors found.
These QSOs will be removed from your
score with no penalties.
Example:
QSO #151: Received QSO# 87 should be 27 AE6RF

There were 16 bad cross check QSOs removed.
You had one not-in-log.
There will be a penalty of one QSO for this.

SCORE SUMMARY
-------------
 Raw QSOs = 1177
    Dupes = 21
Busted QSOs = 82
Penalty QSOs = 28
Time Expired = 0
Final QSOs = 1046 
Band Breakdown (160-10): 0   80  449  418   99    0
QSO Points = 2092
Multiplier = 79
--------------------------
Final score = 165268
Error rate =  7.1%
(100 X (Busted QSOs / Duped QSO total))

BUSTS FOUND IN OTHER LOGS
-------------------------
The following information shows contacts you made
that were removed from the other station's log.
These are not deducted from your score. 
They are listed for your information only.

Example...
AJ9C: KG5VT is a busted call. 
The correct call is KG5VK.
Number busts found in other logs = 39 (0.0%)

We still increased our score and moved up in the
Region box EVEN without a sweep !

We even managed first place in our Division
without the Sweep

so even though we will all be amiss the sweep mug
for 2006 we did dam good !

I will be analyzing line scores of our nearest comp

And look at that AE5T Rick Saffel, got 1st place Delta division in the Low Power category so us local guys did darn good in our Division this year !

Our Team did awesome !

2007 will offer us more reasons to shoot for the overall Top Ten Box
I will have 6 antennas in the arsenal for 75 meters
The newests antenna being a pair of Coaxial Bazzookas at 60 feet Phased with a WX0B stack match box (allowing us to select direction and phasing)
Thanks to everyone for your support I will let you know as soon as the Clean Sweep mugs have arrived !


By the way a measely additional 46,733 points and we would have made the overall Top Ten Box

How many q's is that not sure but my guess is about 500
in a day or two I will know excatly how many more Q's we must have to improve our rankings once again

If anyone wants to join our team simply email me my callsign by way of arrl.net or qrz.com

AD5ZT, Ray visits my shack

I recently met Ray during a visit to his home and Ham shack
However I failed to take a camera with me on that journey
Ray is a recent Licensee, an avid long time fly fisherman and talented photographer
Ray recently visited here and I grabbed this quick image
during a break from some Tower/Antenna Maintenance that Ray was assiting me with.

A very Kewel Contest Video

I found this very professional video of the OT5A Club superstation's CQ WPXoperation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3LX3dfg0Wg

Their setup in the World War I "Fort of Lier" is amazing!
It is apermanent club location,but it has the feel of Field Day with generators etc.

They have a fullkitchen cooking mealsetc.

ON-Land is very serious about contesting, that is for sure!
