2015 Skeeter Hunt Results
24 August 2015 | by OK - I've made the 2015 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt Scoreboard public, the results are as posted.
Congratulations to all of you who participated (you're all winners in my book!), but special congratulations to the "Top Five":
N3AQC - The North American QRP CW Club - First Place Overall - Top finish in PA by a multi-multi station - 14,380 points
KX0R - George Fuller - Second Place Overall - Top finish in CO - Top finish by a single op station - 13,652 points
N0SS - Mid-Missouri Amateur Radio Club - Third Place Overall - Top finish in MO - Top finish by a multi op - single TX station - 7,276 points
N3CU - Ken McIntire - Fourth Place Overall - Top finish in PA by a single op station - 6,148 points
K4YA - Myron Cherry - Fifth Place Overall - Top finish in TN - 6,084 points
The entire scoreboard can be viewed at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lcRvpNb2jwgyJsqruCdecNiWXNpi6yz2l4vvJucp0UE/edit#gid=307219926
We didn't do too badly this year. 170 Hams signed up for Skeeter numbers (a record) and we had 60 log summaries submitted. That's about a 35% return rate.
As promised, the soapbox page will come shortly and I will announce when it's ready for viewing. Most nights this week will be busy as I will be volunteering with my CERT team for crowd control duties, as the Barclay Golf Tournament is being played out at the Plainfield Country Club, which is about 1/4 mile from my house. Look for the soapbox announcement some time next week.
Thank you to all of you who sign up and those who participate, and those who help me get the word out about the NJQRP Skeeter Hunt. I'm already looking forward to 2016's event! And as always, if any of you have any suggestions as to how this event can be improved, I'm always willing to listen. Changes were made this year due to someone's input from last year and there was a good suggestion made to me after this year's event which will result in a small change in the way QSO points are calculated next year. I'm all ears, guys!
