We had a great time, and very good score compared to our past efforts. We had 13 attendees, including 5 operators. Great to have all that interest and support.
I have to highlight our newest contest op, Helen KE2BPY. She really went from 0 to 60. Started out fearless and bold but stumbling just a little. That lasted maybe 5 minutes then she was off to the races. By the end she was holding a frequency, working the pileup, and pulling callsigns out of the weeds. She made a total of 306 QSOs and
sometimes her rate was above 100/hr. Kudos to you Helen!
A few stats:
1126 contacts across 163 multipliers (states/provinces/countries)
With double points for CW vs phone, our 1126 contacts became 3688 QSO points, and applying the multiplier, our score is a very respectful 601,144 points.
We worked all but 4 states, 10 of 14 Canadian provinces/territories, and 41 DX entities.
Very big thanks to Ken N7NBV for providing the venue and all the effort to make it work so well for us.
