The NAQCC December 2016 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: So you " speak " Morse code? Well, did you know that you probably speak International Morse code, just one dialect of many? There are versions of the code for the Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic and Korean alphabets. If you hear the prosign DO followed by text that doesn't make sense to you and then the prosign SN, you have probably heard some Japanese Wabun or Kana code. Copying four digit number strings ? You could be hearing Chinese Telegraph Code, which represents Chinese characters with four digit numbers and requires a code book to go from the numbers actually sent to the Chinese characters. This code is also used by law enforcement to avoid confusion while recording names that might change between dialects and languages if written in actual characters. The US Navy employed a version of morse with characters that had only four elements or less. There were some letters that shared common codes and had to be determined by the context of the message. For example B, X and 0 were all sent as dah dit dit dah. American Morse code employed dits, dahs, long dahs and longer dahs as well as short gaps for letter spacing, medium gaps for word spacing and long gaps for sentence spacing ... try that with your shiny new paddle and auto spacing, electronic keyer. It was popular because the structure of characters was said to make it about 5% faster than International Morse. So, if somebody asks you if you speak Morse code, you just might want to answer yes, some. TIME FRAME: The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z RULES: Just make ALL these words from calls of stations you work subject to the General Challenge Rules. (Any spaces in the phrases should be ignored. For example the challenge phrase "INVERTED V ANTENNA" should be treated as if it is the single word "INVERTEDVANTENNA.") INTERNATIONAL MORSE WABAN US NAVY MORSE CHINESE TELEGRAPH CODE AMERICAN MORSE CODE LONG DAH LONGER DAH The 87 total letters contain these 20 different letters : A B C D E G H I L M N O P R S T U V W Y 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. If you need some help with your alphabet challenge record keeping take a look at our Alphabet Tutorial page for everything from some great pencil & paper methods to fully computerized tools. 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 NEXT - NF8M, W8REI, N8XMS, K9EYT (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 in the horizontal format shown above to: 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 All entries must be RECEIVED before the 10th of the following month at 2400Z.

Larry WV8DH: Another fun challenge. Thanks to the organizers. K5MP: This is my 2nd Challenge (first was last month).? All I can say is "What a hoot1", and how I now am beginning to really appreciate QRP.? Looking forward to next month. K3WWP: Another month when I didn't go hunting for letters. I just worked someone, checked my paper worksheet to see if I needed any of their letters, if I did, I filled them in on my sheet and moved on to the next QSO. That method this month finished up the challenge on the 20th. 45 of the 87 letters came from DX stations. A far cry from the days of more sunspots, when I could get all the letters from DX and get them easily. It's nice to have all the snowbirds visiting the Caribbean this time of year. Those portable calls really knock down the needed letters quickly. K1IEE: The letter E was the hard one this challenge for me. 20M was the band with the most activity, mostly between 1000 and 1400 UTC. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all 73 Dick N3CKI: Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to NAQCC. 73, Dave KG5PFD: This is my first attemp at one of these challenges. Pretty fun!!! N9SE: It (almost) came down to the wire this month. I finished my last two letters E & O, with one QSO EA1AOQ. Thanks for all the QSOs in 2016! --72 de Marty N8XMS: There sure were a lot of "E's" in this challenge! (Although the last letter that I collected was actually an "R".) Toward the end of the month I had to actively hunt up and down the bands listening for calls with the letters that I needed. It was fun and I"m certainly looking forward to the 2017 challenges. Happy New Year to everyone! PA0XAW: Nice one but hard work! Happy New Year to You all! 73, Age KG4MTN: This is my first Challenge try. This was exciting especially with the automated system doing all of the sorting work. I did not get started until Dec.10th and had several QRO contacts, which did not count. My QRP contacts were fun, I thoroughly enjoyed doing this Challenge and have started working the January 2017 one. Mike Serio KU4A: After completing three of these in-a-row I fell six letters short this month. The last half of the month was rough. I had plenty of radio time but it seemed like propagation was even worse than normal. On to the next one! K1YAN: Running it down to the wire is getting to be the norm here. YO3FRI popped up on what seemed like a dead 20m band to finish things off with 3 days to go. KJ4R: Another fun month. Took 22 days of it to get all the letters I needed. Worked some good DX this month too. 3B8, C5, and 6W. Did not need or use the C5 or the 6W for the challenge but would have missed working them if I had not been actively trying to get the letters I need. Trying to work the challenge gives me a good reason to get on the air. Lots of good rag chews this month too. Ham radio is starting to be fun again! I'm still relatively new to QRP, and I'm constantly amazed at what can be done with 5W and a 34' piece of aluminum standing up in the middle of the back yard. Whoever said that a vertical radiates poorly in all directions didn't know much about what they were talking about. Sitting on 99 for my QRP DXCC........just one more to go. Merry Christmas to everyone and HNY. VE3FUJ: I only managed 1 Word "M's and H's" where totally missing from my collected Calls.it seemed every word but one had an H or an M in it. Even the B came at the eleventh HR. or I would not have had any words at all. Brion WA2FBN: Could not get the last G needed for this months challenge. Fun as always and getting to be more of a challenge with decreasing band conditions. 73 Ken HA4FY: Another nice challenge. Tnx and HNY! N9CX: Did not manage to complete the challenge this month. Band conditions not great for QRP operation but still had fun. W2JEK: WAS A GOOD CHALLENGE. NEAR THE END HAD ALL LETTERS EXCEPT " B ". HEARD ABOUT TEN STATIONS WITH A " B " BUT NO QSO UNTIL THE LAST WITH WB0CFF. 72 AND 73 DON YOUNGER WB1AJX: This is my second challenge. I was short an E and P so I missed one phrase. It was still a lot of fun and I will do more in 2017. I used my KX3, ZNHK solid brass straight key and an 80M doublet. Happy New Year and 73 de Howard WB1AJX in Rhode Island. |
