My Crow Fone - MyCrowFone Gain
SSB Myth Busters- Chapter #3
Okay a different set of numbers to ponder. Here is a bit of historical perspective on some of the recent ARRL Sweepstakes club scores to close out the 2006 SSB Myth Busters series. The supporting data is below. I didn't pull SMC's scores over the same period, but that might be interesting too.
Over the period 2001 thru 2005:
The NCCC racked up four mode scores of over 10 million. One time was in CW(2003). That same year, their SSB score was pushing 12 million club points. So beating them is an achievable challenge.
The NCCC SSB scores were as much as 3 million points higher than their CW mode scores. Not once over the period was their CW mode score higher than their SSB score. They have embraced the MyCrowFone (i.e. they have turned up the “MyCrowFone Gain”).
The NCCC had three years with more than 100 logs entered for each mode. Not so coincidentally, these years include three of the four 10 meg scores. Often generalizations are too broad, but it is true that “butts in chairs” translates into points, for both modes.
So, “Vote early, and vote often!”. Er, no, wait, that was last week.
I hope to log you all this weekend, because that would be 150 easy Q's right off the top! Look for me down around the noise floor and in between the static crashes. (Is “Low Power Cruddy Antennas” a valid class?)
