The NAQCC August 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  .FU-GO BALLOONS PREMISE: In the 1940s, the Japanese were mapping out air currents by launching balloons with measuring instruments from the western side of Japan and picking them up on the eastern side. The researchers noticed that a strong air current traveled across the Pacific toward North America. Following this discovery, the Japanese military made what many experts consider the first intercontinental weapon system, the Fu-Go balloon. An explosive device was suspended about 50 feet below a 32 foot diameter paper balloon and rode the air currents to North America. An altitude sensing system maintained the desired altitude during flight by either dropping sand bag ballast bags or venting the hydrogen gas that filled the balloon. The first balloon was launched on November 3, 1944. Between then and April 1945, experts estimate about 1,000 balloons reached North America. Records, uncovered after the war, indicate that about 9,000 in total were launched. The American government kept this weapon a secret so that no news of successful landings would reach Japan. After no news of success, the program was finally abandoned. However, lack of knowledge cut both ways. In May of 1945 the only WW II, enemy-inflicted casualties on American soil, occurred in the Oregon woods when five children and local pastor's pregnant wife were killed as they played with the large paper balloon they'd spotted during a Sunday outing. Click here to read more about the Fu-Go balloon. 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.") FU GO BALLOONS JET STREAM INTERCONTINENTAL WEAPON SYSTEM EXPLOSIVE DEVICE NOVEMBER 1944 OREGON WOODS The 87 total letters contain these 25 different letters and numbers : A B C D E F G I J L M N O P R S T U V W X Y 1 9 4 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.

Soapbox:K6III: I DQ myself as I am running 100w. Be glad for you to use my log as a CHECK LOG. 73 de Jerry KJ4R: Took a while to get all those "O"s! Heard lots of calls with O's but many of them I had just worked recently so took a pass hoping to get some new stations. Hate to work someone I just worked a few months ago or less. Many evenings I found band conditions tough on 30 and 40 . Did manage to work WA on 30M for state # 49 for QRP WAS. Now if I can only get my own state of SC. K3WWP: Once again a lot of fun filling in my paper chart and watching the number of needed letters/numbers grow fewer and fewer. That's the main fun for me in doing our challenges. As usual I didn't have to go looking for any letters. They just came naturally from the folks I worked during the month. I think this is the earliest I've finished a challenge in a few months now. Sure were a lot of Os. I thought that may be my downfall, but near the end AA4OO helped a lot, and I finished with YV5OK on the 22nd. Thanks to all I worked. AA4NN: Coax connections to the 2-element yagi failed, causing a fall back to the Hygain AV-640 vertical. What a month on the east coast for QRN...nosiy noisy noisy. NF1U: Fun and challenging as usual. Band Conditions have improved much this month, hopefully as we get into Fall things will improve and the challenge becomes less of a challenge. PA0XAW: Was a struggle for me to get all the "E's" in the log. Looking forward to the next challenge! N9SE: Ran out of month before running out of letters to collect again, but fun as always! AK3X: Just like last month, I had trouble getting all the "S" letters. I heard S01WS (Western Sahara) on 40 meters late one night and that would have helped a lot, but just as I got the rig set for split operation, he went QRT. I have worked him before on 40 with three watts, so it could have happened lol. Anyway, a fun challenge. KI4IO: Tough month! The letter "T" was elusive, but got my last one on 29 August. N8XMS: I really came up short this month and only managed to complete two of the words. At the end of the month I still needed 7 O's, 7 E's, and 1 U. I only had 24 non-contest QSOs so my poor results were not really surprising. Hopefully next month will provide me with more operating time and QSOs. NR3Z: Missed 2 weeks while I was on vacation but as always lots of fun. K1IEE: Thank for another good challenge. The letter N was most difficult for me this month. Thanks to all 73 dick W2JEK: ANOTHER GOOD CHALLENGE. AGAIN THE LAST LETTERS NEEDED WERE THE 'E'S. LOTS OF FUN. WA2FBN: Where were the calls with an o ? Didn't work a single call with an o for this months challenge. LNR MTR3B at 4w into EFHW at 25 ft. 72 Ken AH6AX: Another fun word chase... Thanks! |
