NAQCC 2016 Anniversary Sprint Prize Drawing




Our anniversary sprint prize drawing was held on Thursday, October 20th, at 9:00 PM EDT - 0100 10/21 UTC.



Drawing Details:

As we did last year, our twelfth anniversary sprint prize drawing will be held in two tiers. In the first tier we will give away our top three prizes, and in the second tier, prizes 4 through 10 will be awarded.

There is a throughout-the-year participation requirement for a member to be eligible for a first-tier prize. Here are the specific requirements:
1. Be a member of the NAQCC at the time of the October sprint.
2. Participate in the sprint by making at least one QSO and send in the log by the submission deadline.
3. Earn at least 9 participation points from January through September. Points are earned by participating in our regular monthly sprints and challenges and are recorded in the table seen here. (Up to two participation points can be made up by qualifying and applying for one or two of our regular awards. Click here to see the details about our awards program)

Here are the requirements to be eligible for one of the second-tier prizes:
1. Be a member of the NAQCC at the time of the October sprint.
2. Participate in the sprint by making at least one QSO and send in the log by the submission deadline.

A spreadsheet will be used to make a list of prize-eligible members. Random numbers, generated by a computer, will be used to select the winners. Once someone has been drawn for a prize they will no longer be eligible for any of the remaining prizes. Non-winners from the first-tier will be included in the second-tier drawing.

Prizes will be drawn in the following order:
3 - 2 - 1 . . . 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4

After each winner is drawn we will make an almost-realtime announcement by updating this web page with a picture of the prize and the callsign of the winner. You will probably need to refresh your browser periodically to follow the action. Email notifications will be sent to all of the winners within a day or two of the drawing and prizes will be mailed out using the addresses listed on QRZ.com unless we receive a request form the winner asking us to use a different address.



pix_raffledrum.jpg (16K) 124 NAQCC members have met the elligibility requirements given above and of these 38 have also met the year-long participation requirement and are eligible for the first-tier prize drawing.

Every eligible member has been put into a spreadsheet and assigned a number. A second computer will be used to generate random numbers and "draw" the winners. As winners are chosen they will be revealed below.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

I finished the build in one evening and everything was fun to assemble even if my high tech solder station quit and I finished with an old solder iron and carefully completed the build with no problems. The alignment went pretty easy although I wish they included the tweakers for tuning the slugs but managed with other tools. My antenna seems to be off a bit for resonance so I am putting out about 700 milliwatts but have worked 7 contacts and received some decent reports with it.

Thanks to everyone that made this event what it is, fun and friendship.



1st Place Prize


Our 1st place prize is a gently used YouKits 3-Band HB1A QRP Transceiver.
