Howdy Folks,
Well it was a blast all around! Now that the snow has settled,
the results of the first FYBO Winter QRP Field Day are in. The
most common soapbox comment was "had a great time", which makes
us ScQRPions very happy. FYBO is more of an "operating event"
than a contest, and having fun was what it was supposed to be
all about. And for those "monster" stations out there, congrats
on the great scores!
Many thanks to all the field ops who braved the cold, and to the
home ops who passed out so many QSOs to the frozen critters in
the field. And thanks also to the FYBO prize sponsors. You all
made a unique event downright fun!
Notes:
- From the 80 logs received, 2311 QSOs were reported - Yowza!
- Coldest field "low temp" was KI0G (10F), warmest field "low"
was N4BP (70F). Somebody owes someone a beer. :-)
- Three stations worked over 100 QSOs each (KI0J, N4BP, K0FRP).
- Four of the Top Ten scores were QRPp entries.
- 11 field stations operated in below-freezing temperatures.
- Only "home" ops recommended that FYBO run longer than 12 hours. :-)
- Only two N/T+ logs were received (N3XRV/T, NL7QT/T). Thanks guys!
- One DX station joined in the fun (HP1AC).
Awards/Prizes:
- Highest Score:
MultiOp: K1OJ, 129,600 pts.
Single Op: N0TU, 67,200 pts.
N/T+: N3XRV/T, 2,400 pts. (VibroFloyd Paddles - Thanks NQ7X!)
HB Rig: N0TU, 67,200 pts. (NA5N's QRP Data Book - Thanks Paul!)
- Worked Most ScQRPions: K1OJ, 14 (SW-XX QRP XCVR Kit - Thanks WA5WHN & NN1G!)
- Random Drawing: N1MVU (TenTec QRP XCVR kit - Thanks ScQRPions!)
- Coldest Operating Temp: KI0G, 10F (Complete Bound Set QRPp - Thanks NorCal!)
- Worked Most N/T+'s: W4ED, 2 (NA5N's QRP Data Book - Thanks Paul!)
That's it! Full results follow below, sorted by temperature of
course. ;-) A list sorted by score will appear shortly on
ScQRPion Bob's (KI7MN) web page, along with all the rest of the
FYBO results. Soapbox comments will also be there soon - too many
to include here. Great job everyone!
Any mistakes are my own. Some scores were corrected (all but one
increased, mainly due to method of using multipliers), but please
let me know if there are any glaring errors.
Thanks again to everyone from us ScQRPions!!!
So what do you say, try it again next year?
Cheers de AB7TT,
