NAQCC Dec 2010 Challenge

PREMISE:
This is our third 'other hobby' related challenge this year. This time it's meteorology. We want you to make as many weather-related terms as possible using letters in the calls you work as in a standard alphabet challenge. Terms can include clouds (cirrus, cumulus, etc.), types (snow, rain, wind, etc.), instruments (thermometer, barometer, etc.). Pretty much anything you can think up relating to weather.

TIME FRAME:
The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z

RULES:
You can use a letter in a call TWICE. For example, N3AQC's N could be used in RAIN and CUMULONIMBUS if those are words you are making. If a call has two or more of the same letters, only one may be used. For example, K3RRR could only be used for 2 K's and two R's (not 2 K's and 6 R's).

You can make a particular word only once.

All QSO's must be 2XCW and you must use QRP power. The station you work can be using any power.

AWARDS:
A certificate goes to the hams with the top three totals of letters in their words.

PARTICIPATION AWARD AND WEB LISTING:
To get a Participation Point and to be listed in the results you must make at least three words and submit your results.

LOGS:
For your report, list the words you made and the station used for each letter in the word. The number of stations listed must be the same as the number of letters in each word, even though you use the same station for more than one letter as in:

WORD - K3WWP, N2OD, WA8REI, N2OD

Note how N2OD is listed for both the O and D.

You may also include comments about the challenge. Please preface any comments you want posted with "SOAPBOX:" so we will know what you want posted and what is private.

Send your results to:

E-mail:

You must type that address into your email program.

Subject must read: (your call) NAQCC (month) Challenge

For example: K3WWP NAQCC December Challenge

Postal mail:

K3WWP - Thought I'd wrap this one up early since these open-ended challenges take a lot of time. I'm glad this is our last one. From now on, all alphabet challenges will have a definite list of words to be made. There sure are a lot of weather terms that include O, R, T, and not all that many stations with those letters in their calls. At least that's what I found out while working on the challenge. If you read this before the 25th, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. If you read this after the 25th, I hope you all HAD a very Merry Christmas. Looking forward to seeing a lot of new calls here in the challenge results in 2011 and beyond. Try one, you'll like them. Incidentally I don't see in the rules for this month anything about not counting a station more than once, so I used letters from multiple QSO's with the same station in some cases.

W2JEK - a good challenge for the day after a blizzard that dumped about 18 inches of snow here. 72 and 73 don younger w2jek #1135

K1IEE - Had a great time with the challenge. Found 15 meters getting more active, that is a nice change. Fun time as always. Thanks NAQCC for a great first year for me and providing the many fun reasons to get on the air with QRP and CW. ....73 Dick

VE3FUJ - December Weather Challenge certainly was interesting, and challenging to say the least. Early in Dec I sat my personal Goal at 50 words and 300 letters. Like John K3WWP , I had too few O, R, and T's, in addition I's , H's and E's were in short supply. I also used Letters from multiple same station Qso's, in some cases, nevertheless I enjoyed it much, had some trouble keeping track of things, had to dig way down in my memory for ways to keep things in order. I hope I managed. I edited things trice but there are likely still errors present. Brion

N8XMS - This was the first month in a long time that I was able to do more than just a minimal effort. It looks like my schecule is finally calming down a little bit.

KQ1P - This was fun, and the list would be longer if I gave it more time. I needed one more call with an N but it never made it into my log. Having a set list of words makes it more of a challenge. John
