OCTOBER 2016 SSB SPRINT
FINAL RESULTS
The October 2016 NA SSB Sprint contest certainly felt the effects of our worsening radio propagation and conditions. A number of stations started the contest, but given the bad band conditions experienced, put in only a partial effort. So it became somewhat of an endurance test than a typical Sprint. Let’s hope for better conditions during the April 2017 event, which will be April 2, 2017 0000Z – 0359Z, which corresponds to Saturday evening, April 1, 2017 here in North America.
Not surprising, no one was able to win a WAS shirt this time around.
Bob KW8N managed to squeak by Scott KA9FOX for the top spot Overall. With other perennial top ten participants N6ED, K0EU, and K7SS finishing just behind. Paul K9PG repeated as Low Power winner and finished 6th overall despite being low power. AC0W in similar fashion finished 2nd in Low Power and still made the top ten overall with an 8th place overall finish. Of exceptional note is Scott KA9FOX who not only finished with the highest QSO total but managed a GOLDEN LOG in the process. Wow! Good ears (and fingers) Scott!
K6MR took on the challenge of QRP in bad conditions and still turned in a nice score finishing 1st in QRP!
“MRRC, NCC and Friends” turned in the top Sprint Team score. “SMC Sprinters” captured 2nd place.
Two new s/p/c records were set during the October 2016 event. Don KO5OK broke the Oklahoma QRP record set by KU5B back in Sept 2010. And Victor WB0TEV operated the contest from V31VP setting the high power record for Belize! Ok, it was the first entry ever from Belize, but it was a good score and we were glad to have that addtional multiplier! Check out all of the all-time records on the Records page.
Many newer Sprinters have become regular participants and their Sprint operating skills and their resulting scores continue to improve with each SSB Sprint event. A couple of those being VE4VT and KK7YC who both finished in the top ten this time around. And thank you WQ5L who is a long time Sprinter more notably on CW, but Ray also finished in the Top Ten overall making that sometimes rare MS multiplier very available to everyone.
We will soon be drawing for the Door Prizes and the ICOM NA SSB Sprint T-Shirts and will publish those results once that has been completed!
Thanks again to those who stuck it out and even those who departed a bit early but still submitted their entry. The entries received and the overall results are listed below.
See you on Sat Night, April 1st 2017. No fooling!
