NAQP Halftime Report

3/13/2017

This report is a result of the work of Tim, K9WX. He does all the information gathering and calculations. Thanks Tim!!
 
The NCJ posted the preliminary results for the February NAQP RTTY contest and the standings for the NAQP Challenge have been updated.  Check out the NAQPC web site: http://k9wx.net/naqpc/current.htm

Looks like SMC took first place for the RTTY contest, and NCCC took second place.  NCCC actually had a higher log score than SMC (1,268,901 vs. 1,231,760) but SMC’s higher participation count (67 to 54) propelled SMC into first place for this contest.

So, it’s half time (three contests down and three to go) and PVRC leads the 2017 Challenge based on the new scoring methodology:

PVRC: 265 (2 first place finishes and a third place)
SMC: 250 (1 first place finish and 2 second place)
NCCC: 205 (1 second place and 2 third place)

As we head toward the second half, any of the three clubs could still win the 2017 Challenge.  Here are the dates of the summer NAQP contests.  Do you have them on your calendar?

  • July 15: NAQP RTTY
  • August 5: NAQP CW
  • August 19: NAQP SSB
