Here are the latest results:

ARRL DX PHONE


Everyone put in a good effort but conditions didn't help us much.  Team Hennepin put in a push for the pizza but it might have been too little, too late.  The big expedition to VP5 sure helped our totals!

Team Hennepin - 4,490,827 points (Up 22.19% over last year!!)
Team North - 11,035,334 points (Up 1.62% over last year!!)
Team South - 7,046,109 points (Down 7.18% from last year)
TOTAL MWA - 22,572,270 points (Up 2.02% over last year!!)

THE FINAL RESULTS


We've had a long contest season and a lot of fun.  We've sent expeditions to C6A, VP5, VP2M, KP2 & TG (I hope I remembered them all).  We've had some incredible conditions and we've had weekends where the conditions were a struggle.  Everyone keep their "game face" on and kept on contesting!  Through it all, it looks like we've set a new record for points for MWA!!  I'm hoping we still have a few years of good conditions so we can attempt to beat our new record!

Here are the results of the 2011 - 2012 MWA Team Competition:

Team South - 67,621,899 points (Up 107.06% over last year!!)
Team Hennepin - 75,750,623 points (Up 87.22% over last year!!)
Team North - 90,554,733 points (Up 72.90% over last year!!)
TOTAL MWA - 233,927,255 points (Up 86.41% over last year!!)

CONGRATULATIONS to Team South for winning the pizza!  Also,congrats to everyone for their efforts during the contest season!  It was a real team effort to improve 86% over last year!

RTTY Roundup 2011 Gavel
Monday, 19 December 2011 21:19

2011 RU Gavel

Last year MWA won the ARRL RTTY Roundup team competition gavel in the Unlimited Club Competition. The gavel arrived Saturday and is pictured here and also on the Facebook page.

According to the results article, MWA is the second club to ever score over 2 million points in the RTTY Roundup. The 2012 RTTY Roundup is less than 3 weeks away. Let see if we can repeat again this year.

So over the holiday let's get our RTTY stations working and do some test runs like last year.

Congratulations to everyone for their fine contribution and good luck on this year's event.
