The White Rock Club participated as a group in this year's BC QSO Party. We had fun making calls in what were less than ideal band conditions and for our efforts we won the category of Multi-Operator Low-Power Mixed. It was a pleasant surprise to the membership when Brett who is also a member of the Orca DX Club presented us with our certificate. Here are a few photos from his presentation of the award.
Brett reviewed our placement in the recent BC QSO Party.
Here are the results for the BCQP. We were the top BC station in the Multi-Op Low-Power Mixed Mode category. We were also the bottom station in that category. In fact, we were the only station in that category. But at least we lead in that category!
Actually, if you compare scores with other categories, we actually did pretty well!
Don & Pam Hamilton (VA7GL) reported two more club members were trained on the monthly regional check-in exercise.
