Minnesota Wireless Association

The results from the ARRL RTTY Round-Up have all been tabulated. Activity levels were a bit lower this year (47 MWA’ers versus 51 last year) and conditions were a bit disturbed. As a result, our club score came in at 1,588,394 points, down 23.20% from last year. Despite poor conditions, there were some incredible scores. Check out Jim, N0UR’s, QRP score of 41,475 points! Wow!
