LINKS: Challenge App: http://naqcc.wb5rvz.org Challenge Worksheet: challenge_tracker.pdf THE VERSABAR VB-10000  PREMISE: The ocean can be a dangerous place and has a history of countless shipwrecks to prove it. As long as ships have been sinking, there have been those who try to salvage them. Equipment and methods have advanced over the years as have the size of ships. The case of the MV Golden Ray is a good example. The MV Golden Ray was a roll-on/roll-off car transport vessel. She measured about 656 ft. long and about 116 ft. wide. On September 8, 2019, she departed Brunswick, GA with a load of some 4300 new cars in her hold. During a turn in the harbor she ran aground, heavily listed ( tilted ) and quickly sank onto her side. Improper ballasting ( filling large water tanks to balance the ship ), resulted in an instability that caused the capsize, trapping 24 crew members. The Coast Guard and first responders saved all of the crew, some fires were extinguished and most of the, now junk, cargo was removed. This left the ship itself to be dealt with. The removal plan called for cutting the ship into 8 sections, some as heavy as 4500 tons. Removing these massive sections would require a huge, seagoing crane to place them on barges. The Versabar VB-10000, the largest heavy lift vessel ever constructed in the US, was selected for the task. It is a pair of huge trusses that look like two upside down U shapes. The trusses, which are about 240 ft. tall, are joined together, side by side with their feet resting on two barges. The barges are 300 ft. long, 72 ft. wide and have a clear space of 160 ft. between them. Each barge has a helipad mounted on it and a 4000 HP engine. The Golden Ray was cut apart with a diamond cutting chain that is part of the Versabar. Its 6800 ton lifting capacity allowed a safe transfer of the sections to cargo barges, docked under the Versabar. The Versabar finds work doing such things as disassembling deep sea drilling platforms, marine salvage and other ocean going projects requiring very heavy lifting capabilities. TIME FRAME: The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z. RULES: Just make these words from calls of stations you work, subject to the General Challenge Rules. MV GOLDEN RAY IMPROPER BALLASTING VERSABAR HEAVY LIFT VESSEL DIAMOND CUTTING CHAIN 4000 HP ENGINES The 84 total letters contain these 22 different letters and numbers: A B C D E F G H I L M N O P R S T U V Y 4 0 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. YOU MUST COMPLETE AND SUBMIT AT LEAST ONE WORD TO RECEIVE A PARTICIPATION POINT! 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 Charlie N1AOK at: charlie.wilber AT gmail.com (You must type that address into your email program.) Subject must read: (your call) NAQCC (month year) Challenge For example: K3WWP NAQCC January 2022 Challenge All entries must be RECEIVED before the 10th of the following month at 2400Z.

All below get only a participation point. Not eligible for a certificate or participation point for the following reason(s): @ = Non-member $ = QRO power Soapbox: AD0YM: I look forward to reading the synopsis and completing the challenge. They are always educational and provide an excuse to go out for some QRP POTA. That is the ultimate "2-fer". VE3KZ: Another REAL challenge. So-so propagation and QRN. See you all in October. 72, Bob VE3KZ KI4IO: EQUIPMENT: Elecraft K2 at 5 Watts Homebrew 40 meter phasing XCVR - 5 Watts Homebrew 30 meter XCVR - 3 Watts 66’ flat-top antenna with open-wire feed and home-brew tuner. Comment: As usual, filled the log with POTA stations and only one DX station. Gone, seemingly, are the days when a fellow could fill the log with exotic DX call-signs. K3ES: Duplicate of back-channel report to confirm submit routine works (for Robbie). N8XMS: I finished this one pretty early and about a third of the call signs that I used were DX. So maybe the summer propagation doldrums are over! WA2FBN: Tnx for another fun challenge. 72 Ken NQ8T: Enjoyed it! MNY TNX! 72 |
