If you have more than one 1st place finishes you will receive an award for the other 1st place finishes. All 2nd & 3rd place finishes will receive awards. Since we had 3 DX stations in the contest I will add the category for DX and they will also receive a plaque for 1st and awards for 2nd & 3rd place. Here are the final results, we had 24 entries. There were a lot of stations that did not send in their scores. All plaques and awards will be sent for this week. When I receive them in the mail I will send them out to the winners.

QRP * Note: Eastern PA QRP Club ( Not Eligible for Awards ) Next year there will be a rule change. One change will be that the call N3EPA will count as a bonus. So the more you catch the station on the bands, the more points you will receive. Thank you one and all for entering the contest. Next year we will have it better posted in the magazines. A special Thanks goes out to the Eastern PA QRP Club Members that donated the $'s for the plaques and awards. 72 & 73 Good DXing Ron de WB3AAL wb3aal@talon.net vvv Eastern Pennsylvania QRP Web Page vvv http://www.kpsnet.com/wb3aal/Start_Page.htm Eastern Pennsylvania QRP Club Call --> N3EPA EPA QRP #1 NJ QRP #179 KL7 QRP # 309 G-QRP # 3031 ARCI QRP # 5318 10 - X #13173 NorCal # Zombie #625 Bumblebee #15 SETI @ Home Project http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu
