We’ve moved into the final third of the contest season and the scores are piling up. We’ve got a LOT of MWA’ers over the million-point mark. SOme have moved up to two, three, four, five million points (or more)! What a season it’s been!
Last weekend was our final RTTY event of the season. The CQ WPX RTTY Contest features a LOT of stations to work and an almost endless supply of multipliers. The perfect prescription for a high score! Larry, W0PR, and Al, K0CN, took their scores over a million points with some incredible high-power efforts! Doug, AA0AW, took his low-power effort over a half-million points as well! Great effort boys! Dan, K0TI, and John, K0TG, traveled to the NC0DX multi-op to bring home over 3.5 million points, while Jon, W0ZQ, Phil, KB0NES, Pat, W0BM, and Rich, N0HJZ, took the Distributed Multi-Op route as they earned over 3.3 million points! Wow!
Despite low activity, results were great! We more than doubled our club score from last year!!
- Team 5 – 5,033,031 Points (5 Pts) – 13 team members active
- Team 4 – 4,608,315 Points (4 Pts) – 7 team members active

- TOTAL MWA – 13,435,910 Points (Up 101.31% over last year!!) – 35 club members active (25% of the club)
With four events left, the team results are settling out. Team 5 has built a lead but can still be caught! The results after 13 events are:
- Team 5 – 55 Points
- Team 4 – 49 Points
- Team 3 – 42 Points
- Team 2 – 26 Points
- Team 1 – 23 Points
This weekend is the ARRL International DX Contest (CW). Everyone will be pointing their antennas towards us. Get on the air and have some fun!
