The Cleveland Amateur Radio Club’s activation for the 2016 American Radio Relay League International DX Contest has come and gone. This year was the first Club House activation for this Contest. Participation was an all-time high with nearly 30 participants throughout the weekend. Results are as follows: Today we submitted the log with 393 contacts tallying up a score of 200,000+ points with 170+ different countries contacted.
A breakdown by area is: Europe – with 226 contacts (58%), South America – 76 contacts (20%), The Caribbean – 62 contacts (15%), Asia – 14 contacts (4%), Africa – 5 contacts (1%) and last but not least our good ole American DX entities, Alaska & Hawaii – 10 contacts (2%).
Also, we would like to thank Jim Blackburn for providing a Pancake Breakfast Saturday morning and for his donation of a hotdog machine to the club and for providing hotdogs and all the trimmings. This kept us operating on a full stomach.
With this event completed and in the logs, I want to remind everyone of next month’s activation of the ARRL Rookie Round Up on April 17th. Details about this event will be sent out near the end of March.
