So… what have you done this past weekend? Sit around on your backside and did a bit of Echolink internet stuff? Tsk, tsk, tsk…<\/p>\n

A few of the club members actually did the hard stuff. The stuff that doesn’t go over the internet. You know: radio waves only<\/strong><\/em>. In a contest called the CQ WPX SSB<\/a>. It’s sponsored annually by a magazine called (I hope you’re sitting down!) CQ Magazine.<\/p>\n

And despite the lack of time by all of those members we really had a ball! We got a few dozen new DXCC entities in the KN5S logbook, and a few new states on SSB too.<\/p>\n

And as always: for a few dudes with two 100 W radios and a wire dipole we didn’t score half bad either:<\/p>\n

\"KN5S<\/a><\/p>\n

10 meters was amazing, as you can see! Where were all you Technicians? Don’t tell me you need a written invitation every time. Right?<\/p>\n

And here is the list of all the countries (ie. DXCC entities) we made QSOs with, in that handful of hours:<\/p>\n

\"KN5S<\/a>

Yeah, click it; it’ll get bigger.<\/p><\/div>\n

54 DX Century Club<\/a> entities in the log – wow!<\/p>\n

How about that, huh? Surely you didn’t do any better than that, on your smartphone?<\/p>\n

This is the current total number of DXCCs worked\/confirmed, via the LoTW:<\/p>\n

\"KN5S<\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s something similar, for the total number of states confirmed, via LoTW:<\/p>\n

\"KN5S<\/a><\/p>\n

Obviously we still need some help on 80 meters! Oh, wait just a second there…<\/p>\n

Close, so close, to DXCC and 5 Band WAS. Just a few more good contests, I’m sure!<\/p>\n

Thanks to all of those interested enough in the club’s activities to show up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
