The NAQCC December 2015 Challenge All challenge info such as rules are now in the hands of Gary K1YAN. Email him with any questions in that regard at  .The results on this page are the responsibility of Hap K7HAP. Email him with any questions in that regard at  .PREMISE: Who was responsible for the first general public voice broadcasts? Well must be... Edison, nope... Marconi, nope... RCA, nope. Give up? OK the answer is Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, Canadian born and professor of electrical engineering at Purdue and the University of Pittsburgh. In December of 1900 he sent the first voice by radio an amazing 50 feet. His public broadcasts were on Christmas 1906 and New Years 1907 from Brant Rock, MA, using a 420 foot oceanside tower (sigh). He had formed the National Electrical Signaling Company, also in Brant Rock, to carry on such endevors. After Brant Rock he moved to New London, CT and worked to develop underwater sound technology for Navy communications and ranging applications. TIME FRAME: The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z RULES: Just make ALL these words, not including the comments in parenthesis, from calls of stations you work subject to the General Challenge Rules: R A FESSENDEN NATIONAL ELECTRICAL SIGNALING CO BRANT ROCK NEW LONDON UNDERWATER SOUND COMMUNICATION The 86 total letters contain these 18 different letters and numbers: A B C D E F G I K L M N O R S T U W You can use each letter in a call TWICE. For example you could use K3WWP for 2 K's, 4 W's, and 2 P's. Subsequent QSO's with the same station cannot be used for additional letters. For example, no matter how many times you work K3WWP, you can only use his call for 8 of the letters in the words. See General Rule #5 for more details on what callsign letters can be used. See the Alphabet Tutorial page for an excellent way to track any and all of our alphabet type challenges. AWARDS: A certificate and Participation Point go to everyone making all the words and submitting their report before the deadline. A Participation Point goes to everyone making at least 1, but not all the words and submitting their report before the deadline. PRIZES: A choice of an item made by master woodworker Gregg WB8LZG as shown on our prizes page here goes to someone selected via a random drawing from all who participate and submit a report for this month's challenge. A person can only win once, then they become ineligible for future drawings. 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 as text to: (Please be sure to use the horizontal layout as shown above.) E-mail: You must type that address into your email program. Subject must read: (your call) NAQCC (month) Challenge For example: K3WWP NAQCC February Challenge Postal mail: Hap - K7HAP 8532 Canterbury Dr. Annandale, VA 22003 All entries must be RECEIVED before the 10th of the following month at 2400Z.

Soapbox:N4IVE:Got all the letters early this month. All contacts made with my OHR kit radios. KA2PBO: HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! 72, RICK K1IEE: Another great challenge. Sure was a lot of N's. Thanks to all 73 Dick DH0DK: In December, worked from the mountains and castles. All QSO Yaesu FT 817 power 5W and ant LW 21m. Wishing you all a merry xmas! vy 72, Ben #7576 N8XMS: It's been quite a long time since I've been able to complete a challenge so I was really determined to make a maximum effort on this one to finish out the year on a positive note. With all of the Christmas activities going on it wasn't easy to find operating time. I managed to complete the challenge on the 28th. For my last few letters I specifically went hunting up and down the bands looking for callsigns that would help. My very last letter (an "S") came from hearing N6SL in a QSO with someone else and "tail ending" a call to him. Fortunately he came back to me. Happy New Year and 73 to all the NAQCC gang! K3WWP: Slow and steady wins the race. That's about the most pertinent comment I could make on this month's challenge. I just took the letters as they came and really didn't frantically try to work someone just to get their letters. The only time I looked for a letter was on the 29th when I needed to get two Os to complete the challenge. That took all of about 10-15 minutes to find and work WB2KAO (who BTW is a blind since birth ham). I thought perhaps with the lack of time and poor conditions this month I would never get all 86 letters, but I proved myself wrong. I would guess this month would have the least operating time of any month in a good long while now. I hope all had a happy and merry Christmas and New Year's holiday. Love this Southern Hemisphere winter we're having so far. K7TQ: With all the N's, NN4NC was a very good catch. Got the last call, PU1TMU, for the final T December 30 on 10 m. N9SE: This month I decided to make this a 160M challenge --and a challenge it was! In the end, I had to substitute two 80M QSOs with CO90IARU and WA3MIX to finish I and O. But, other than those two, all were 160M QRP QSOs. PA9CW: A lot of N's in this months challenge. It wasn't easy. CU next month. Happy new-year and gl, Tonnie WB0QQT: Didn't spend as much time as I wanted so a few letters eluded me at the end of the month. So close to making other words but yet the E's and others escaped my hunt. These are lots of fun and I hope to do better next month with Winter setting in. Thanks NAQCC for having these Challenges. K1YAN: Thanks to the wonderful propagation this month it only took 30 days and a few hours to get it done. HNY 2016 to all! WA2FBN: Lots of Ns this month. Took me till the very end to get them all. Thanks for another great challenge. 72 Ken W2JEK: CAME UP ONE LETTER SHORT, A 'T'. THOUGHT I HAD ENOUGH BUT WAS NOT TO BE. 72 AND 73 DON YOUNGER #1135 |
