Recent Contest Activity by Nebraska Hams

Listed below are the scores of all Nebraska entries for several recent major contests. They give you a good idea of people's favorite contests, and show which contests need more Nebraska representation. We also encourage you to challenge other local hams to a little friendly competition...especially the ones highlighted below with targets!

Don't let these hotshots go unchallenged!

Lincoln area hams are listed in bold. If you are interested in contesting, contact one of these folks...they'll be happy to get you started. If you'd like to watch or participate, some of the multi-op teams are also a great place to start.

Great to see activity from the UNL club, who placed #2 overall in Nebraska. KØKKV placed third in Nebraska, putting Johnson County on the map and setting the county record at the same time! Another successful DX-pedition by KGØGY and his team! KØNEB cruised to fourth place. HDXA was the only club entry (with the required three logs), so they won the club competition. LARC, let's do something about that next year, okay? Check with Brad, KGØGY or Greg, KTØK, for our early plans for 2006.

Although we finished second in Nebraska to Ak-Sar-Ben ARC in score, Lincoln ARC finished #1 in participation, and that's what it is really about! Field Day is a great opportunity to learn about new modes, new frequencies, station design and construction, and to get some "on-the-job" training! AS they say on "Who's Line", points don't mean anything!
