Club Competition Update

The CQWW RTTY Contest is in the books and our club rose to the occasion.  Great conditions, coupled with increased activity (and BIC time) added up to an incredible start to our contest season!!  When the dust settled, our claimed score was 67.58% higher than last year!  Congrats to everyone who got on the air!

The key to being a competitive team in the Team Competition will be activity. Getting people on the air, and keeping their butt in the chair, will be key. You’ll see in the results how activity equals results. You will also see how little things can help move your team upward. An example – Howie, WB9YLZ, didn’t have a RTTY set-up at his QTH. Phil, KB0NES, brought him a full station. The result was enough to move Team One from fourth place to third. The margin between the teams was about 8,000 points! Razor thin!

Congrats to Team 9 for the first week victory! Their 3.3 million point score was closely followed by Team 6 with 3.0 million. Both teams had six active team members! Congrats to Team 2 who had seven team members on the air!

Here are the results from the CQWW RTTY Contest

  • Team 9 – 3,325,756 points – 6 active team members
  • Team 6 – 3,049,482 points – 6 active team members
  • Team 1 – 2,718,314 points – 6 active team members
  • Team 2 – 2,710,157 points – 7 active team members
  • Team 4 – 1,529,976 points – 3 active team members
  • Team 7 – 1,460,300 points – 3 active team members
  • Team 5 – 1,388,688 points – 4 active team members
  • Team 8 – 1,279,440 points – 5 active team members
  • Team 10 – 910,725 points – 4 active team members
  • Team 3 – 445,352 points – 2 active team members
  • TOTAL MWA – 18,818,190 points (Up 67.58% over last year!!)

The overall team scoring is:

  • Team 9 – 10 points
  • Team 6 – 9 points
  • Team 1 – 8 points
  • Team 2 – 7 points
  • Team 4 – 6 points
  • Team 7 – 5 points
  • Team 5 – 4 points
  • Team 8 – 3 points
  • Team 10 – 2 points
  • Team 3 – 1 point

There is a LOT of contesting left in the season and a LOT of points to be awarded.  The next contest is the California QSO Party on Saturday and Sunday.  Talk to your team and get them to be active and make a lot of QSO’s.  Every QSO and every multiplier could be the difference between your team moving upward over another team!

THANK YOU to everyone for posting their scores quickly!

Good luck this weekend!
