Also, congrats to Dave, K9QC, for turning in his first score in a while. Welcome back to MWA Dave!
The Southern juggernaut continues to move forward. After Team Hennepin had taken the last two Pizza Points, people had begun to question Team South. Were they a flash in the pan? Had they spent too much BIC time early in the contest season? Team South responded with a decisive victory. A higher percentage of activity and longer BIC time added up to another Pizza Point. Here are the results:
Can anyone beat Team South for the Pizza? The answer is Yes! Team South has 5 Pizza Points, Team Hennepin has 2 Pizza Points and Team North has 1 Pizza Point.
Team South has the lead but had the highest score in each of the remaining events this season. They have the toughest route to a victory. There are four events remaining (MNQP, ARRL DX CW, ARRL DX Phone and the combined 160 Meter events). A reminder that MNQP is the tiebreaker event. Here is how each team could win the Pizza:
There is a LOT of drama yet to unfold in the season! Get another pillow for your chair and make sure you’ve got some operating time scheduled! Let’s get ready to rumble!

The various friend files for the different contest software have been updated based on current MWA membership. There are two versions for each program, one has MWA flag in the file so when it comes up on the screen you see MWA along with name, etc. Some people like this and others don’t.
The zip file name with MWA.zip at the very end has the MWA flag in the file.
Each zip file also has instructions on how to install with the particular software.
