The NAQCC June 2017 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  .OLD HOME BREW GEAR PREMISE: We go back to the days of early hollow state technology when a rig gave you light, heat, RF and a place to keep you cup o' joe warm. It was home brew everything, except in the very well heeled hams shack. See how many of these terms ring a bell. If you need a little reminder and your 1940s handbook isn't handy, check out next months newsletter. 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.") CONDENSER VIBRATOR SUPPLY LECHER WIRES MERCURY VAPOR RECTIFIER QUENCH OSCILLATOR GRID BLOCK KEYING The 86 total letters contain these 23 different letters : A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P Q 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.

Thans for the QSO! 73 Mike AH6AX: This month was tougher than in the past - band condx for me were not good, but managed to work a lot of fellow SKCC and FISTS members. I had to dump several calls that I'd gotten during the GA QSO party - didn't know using QSO party wasn't allowed... but... found replacements so all worked out. Thanks for another fun word challenge! 73/72! -Larry AH6AX KJ4R: Worked the challenge this month entirely with my PFR-3B. Added two new countries to my QRP DXCC totals. Number 103 and 104 TF(40M) and EW(30M). Band condx seemed pretty good overall on 40 and 30. I even had a station from the Ukraine answer my CQ on 30 meters. I can't remember any DX other than VE ever answering my QRP CQ's so that was a nice surprise. Worked my first contact for the challenge on 6/5 and finished on 6/12. I've got a work trip to Germany around the end of the month so worked at it to finish early. K1IEE: Another fun challenge. Band conditions seem to be getting quitter every month. Only the second week this month I found good propagation. Pretty spotty after that. Thanks to all 73 Dick K1YAN: Another month of challenging conditions. Finally got there with one or two QSOs a day. Hope that the bands perk up for FD. I'm thinking about a 1 watt QRPp effort but will decide when I see what the bands have to offer. K3WWP: My paper worksheet just filled up at a slow steady pace this month. A few calls gave me several letters to reduce my count quickly at first, then as the paper filled up and fewer letters were needed, each call gave me fewer letters. It took 28 different calls to complete the challenge. I really enjoy these alphabet challenges. Gives me a chance to practice my printing and subtraction manually which it seems like I do more and more of that on the computer. So that's another good benefit of the challenges for me besides urging me to get on the air more often. The last challenge call was interesting. I worked HI/SP5Y late in the day on the 26th to not only keep my DX streak alive, but it gave me I and Y to complete all the words. KI4IO: A number of contacts were made using a 3 Watt TX alongside a regenerative receiver. I note that 100 years ago (1917), Edwin Armstrong received the medal of honor from the institute of Radio Engineers for the invention of the regenerative receiver. Kinda fun re-living history 100 years later! K6III: I DQ myself... QSOs all done QRO ( >5w). Submitted as a check log. 73 de Jerry PA0XAW:Thanks again for a nice but not to difficult challenge! N9SE: Ran out of month before I ran out of letters! WV8DH: Another fun challange. The "R" was the hardest for me to get. Looking forward to the July challange. 72, Dave WA2FBN: Could not find enough calls with an L. This challenge brought back memories of my ham construction projects in the "old days". Thanks N8XMS: I really came up short on this one and missed it by a lot of letters, especially "R" and "I". But as always it was a lot of fun. NF1U: Again this was another tough month due to the declining Sunspot activity, with the resulting poor radio propagation. Can only imagine it will continue to get worse as we get deeper into this Sunspot cycle. |
