ANNOUNCING THE 2005 WV QSO PARTY RESULTS

Thank you for making 2005 the BEST WVQP ever!

 

ANOTHER GREAT WV QSO PARTY!

The 2005 WVQP was held on June 18^th.  Sixty eight entries received from 18 states and Canada.  Fifty West Virginia counties were represented.  Greenbrier, Hampshire*, Hancock*, Hardy and Pendleton* counties were not represented. Maybe someone can activate those counties in 2006.  We had four mobile entries which made the WVQP more exciting. Five new all-time scoring records were set in 2005 despite less than favorable band conditions! Congratulations to all the plaque winners and a great big "Thanks" to everyone that participated.  ALL entrants received WVQP certificates.  We hope to see you in 2006.

*Not represented in 2004 WVQP either

***2006 WVQP – SATURDAY, JUNE 17***

Sponsored by the West Virginia State ARC                  

1600z Saturday, June 17, 2006 through                          0200z Sunday, June 18, 2006

MAIN CATEGORIES

• Multi op (Fixed)

No more than one signal on air, any number of operators.

 MOBILE OPERATIONS

Mobile stations may work and may be worked by other stations upon changing counties. Mobile stations may operate from a county line if the definition* of a county line is met.  A station working a station on a county line may receive credit for both counties as multipliers and mobiles may receive bonus points for each county.  West Virginia stations on a county line may be claimed as both a QSO and a multiplier from each county. (2 QSO’s and 2 multipliers)

*County line definition: County lines are defined as where two counties meet as long as the line is not “wet”. “Wet” is defined as two counties that are separated by water, i.e., creek, river, lake, etc.  You may not operate from a bridge connecting two counties.

Mobiles: Keep separate log for each county.

POWER CATEGORIES

• QRP    5 watts or less at all times.

• Low Power   100 watts or less

• High Power    101 watts and above

 MODES

BANDS

80m through 10m, no WARC bands or VHF.

Suggested frequencies, CW 35 kHz up from low end; phone 35 kHz up in the general sub band and Novice portions of 10M. 

MULTIPLIERS

West Virginia stations use WV counties, states, Canadian provinces, and DXCC countries.

All others use only WV counties (max 55). Multipliers count one time regardless of band/mode.

POINTS

Contacts with WV mobiles:

                CW = 3 points                SSB = 2 points

All other contacts

                CW = 2 points                SSB = 1 point

Work stations once per band and per mode.

EXCHANGE

WV stations send RST and county.

All others send RST and State/Province/or DXCC country. 

BONUS

Bonus Points: Work W8WVA once per band per mode and receive 100 points for each contact (to be added to final score).

West Virginia mobiles receive a bonus of 100 points for each West Virginia County activated from which they log a valid contact.

FINAL SCORE

Multiply QSO points by the number of multipliers. Then add the W8WVA and/or mobile bonus points for the final score.
