August NAQP CW Results

The preliminary results of the most recent NAQP CW contest were recently announced on the NCJ website and the combined team from NCC and our friends the Mad River Radio Club placed 8th in a field of 94 teams.  And our second team placed 17th.  Well done!  The individual scores from our top team were as follows:

NP2X(K9VV)     167,365   935   179 KP2
NA8V                  149,760   832   180 MI
W1NN                 139,896   804   174 OH
W8CAR               115,830   702   165 OH
K8AJS                   12,200   200    61 OH

Unfortunately, something came up for John, K8AJS, and he was only able to spend three hours in the chair.  Had John been able to operate full time and add another 100,000 points to his score, our combined score would have put us in third place overall.  Maybe next year!

The four NCC/MRRC team scores and their participants were:

NCC/MRRC Superops (NP2X,NA8V,W1NN,W8CAR,K8AJS)                       585,051
NCC/MRRC Fantasticops (K3UA,K8ND,K8YM,AF8A,N8SS)                      280,498
NCC/MRRC Ultraops (N8EA,K9NW,NF8M)                                                      98,776
NCC/MRRC Superiorops (W8KNO)                                                                        1,679

Over in the M2 category, the gang at W2FU once again tromped the competition to place first in this category.  Here are the scores from this time.  Note that the team produced an amazing 1,666 contacts in the 12 hour event.  This was the W2FU team’s seventh win in the last eight competitions.  These guys really know what they are doing.  Congratulations!
