So, did we win Winter Field Day?  Hold on to that thought.  We need to put things into perspective.  Let’s look at a summary of the CLASSES first.  We were in the HOME class and there was OUTDOOR (burr), INDOOR, and MOBIL.  Then there was the Category which was the number of transmitter stations operational at the same time.  So for the HOME class, we were 6th overall and FIRST for our Category number of two stations (2H NH).  Go team.  We had 738 QSO’s with a multiplier of 22 for a final score of 17,292.  There were 1,231 HOME stations, 38 of those were 2H, with us at the top of that smaller list.

The multiplier was very important.  Our HOME 3rd place team had more QSOs than any other station (all classes) but a lower multiplier and that put them in 3rd place (HOME Class) and 34th position for the whole event, yet they had the most QSOs.

The total number of Winter Field Day Stations was 2,481.  Where did we fall in that number?  Well, 92nd, I still think that we did amazing for our CLASS and Category (number of stations).

More fun facts

There was only 1 station, K6EI, with 100% of the objectives and they got a multiplier of 27, however, they only had 120 QSOs and were 6O MI OUTDOOR.

Here are the overall statistics for Winter Field Day and who was at the top of their CLASS.

Please thank our operators for their help in achieving this milestone.
