2007 SUMMER CONTEST

Well, the results are out at last and there were certainly some large points totals as a result of great propagation for most of the contest. There are some new calls in the frame for the various section leaders and its also nice to see a good input for the QRP section of the contest. Due to circumstances beyond his control, our contest manager was unable to complete the logs and it took some time to effect a transfer of responsibility for this. As you might guess we are keen that this is not repeated this year and I fully expect the results to be available very much sooner. In any event, it was a most enjoyable contest for the majority of those who took part and I will be very happy if we get similar propagation for this year’s event.

I thought you might wish to know how the totals were determined as it was done somewhat differently from our normal contest rules. The appearance of several special stations helping to commemorate our 25th anniversary event complicated the scoring slightly and I will be the first to admit that our rules for scoring could have been worded rather better than they were. All of the logs were checked and scored to the same standard using the following calculation:

• Total Score = (QSO total + Members + Bonus) x Countries x Locators
• Bonus = 1 for working 1 special call
• 3 for working 2 special calls
• 5 for working 3 special calls
• 10 for working 4 special calls
• 15 for working 5 special calls

The stations qualifying for bonus points were: AN7SIX, AO7SIX, EG7IX, EG7SIX, EH7SIX, G5KW, PA25UKSMG, SP25SIX & TM6MG. I would like to thank all of them for the time and effort taken to get these call-signs on air and also a special mention for Dennis, PA7FM who co-ordinated the event. As the special calls had an advantage over other entrants, a one off extra category has been created for this event for these stations only.
Only the first 5 or fewer QSOs with a special call counted for Bonus points. Don’t worry if you think you scored your logs differently; all the logs were checked to ensure that the maximum score possible for that station was achieved.
Thank you for your patience, I hope the fantastic results achieved in last years event will be repeated this year and that the weather smiles on us all. See you in the contest!
