Don began with a report of the contest last held which was IOTA in July 2024.Some photos from the field were shown then Don explained the two problems with the equipment. After giving the raw scores he pointed out our error rate of 3.53% compared to the average error rate of 4.23%. So, how did we do? 102 out of 226 in the World, 59 out of 130 in Eu, and 6th out of 9 in the UK.
On that note, Don moved on to the up coming CQWW contest on the 26th/27th of October 2024. For those members who might not know, Don explained what CQWW was all about, Most members were very much in the know! Don pointed out where the “run”station would be situated and their equipment.. followed by the “multiplier” station.
Followed were details of logging and how to identify the multipliers and how the unwanted stations could be identified. (only work stations that come up in Green or Red in the log)
Don ran through the details about equipment operations, followed by a reminder of the Saturday set up time and Monday take down time.
