VE3OIL/R 425 154 141,372 R British Columbia QSO Party Update
VE3SMA/R 384 135 116,775 R
VE3ZV 331 130 70,980 B The positive momentum of the past couple of years has
VE3WJ/R 222 99 52,074 R become a welcome trend. At the time of writing, the log
VE7JH 326 102 41,412 B submission deadline for British Columbia QSO Party (BCQP)
VA3ST 238 102 34,578 B
VA3ZV 185 79 16,985 A 2014 is still a couple weeks off – March 31, 2014 – but a
VA6AN 148 71 10,863 A glance at submitted logs and comments from participants
VE7DAY 132 58 7,888 3B indicate another whale of a good time, especially for BC
VE3KZ 120 53 7,102 3B operators who called CQ.
VE7SCC 111 49 5,537 M
VE5UF 86 52 4,472 B Many submitted logs have at least 100 Qs but some have
VE3GJ/R 91 30 3,240 RL
VE4EAR 52 32 1,664 A far, far more than that. It doesn’t really matter if a log has fve
VE6BMX 56 29 1,624 A or 500 Qs. BCQP is an opportunity to get on the air, try out
VE3CX 54 27 1,458 M some operating strategies and just have fun.
VE3EG 50 25 1,275 L
VE6KC 43 19 988 A Here are some highlights:
VE1SKY 28 25 725 L
VE5MX 32 22 704 B • About 120 BC operators were on the air, either on their
VE9AA 33 21 693 L own or in teams.
VE2HAY 29 18 684 A
VE3EJ 34 20 680 B • 32 out of 36 districts were activated.
VE3NYZ 22 11 473 B
VE3RCN 35 11 418 A • And as of mid-March, the log count stands at 120,
VA3KA 25 13 338 A
VA7ST 21 15 315 A comprising 35 from BC, 79 from outside BC and six
VE7AFZ 20 10 270 A check logs.
VE6CCL 15 11 242 FM
VE3RKS/R 16 12 192 RL • Active participation is expanding, substantiated by a
VE7BGP 13 10 150 A wider geographical range in the logs submitted so far.
VE2JCW 13 6 78 A
VE6AO 9 6 72 M • Again this year, more logs have more Qs.
VE3GFN 11 6 66 A
VE6HWE/R 9 7 63 R • From comments that came with logs, BCQP 2014 was
VE3VCF 9 5 55 A
VE3IAE 6 4 24 A lots of fun and perhaps even a bit more competitive than
VA3RKM 5 3 18 L in previous years, as many operators wanted to scoop
VE3RX/VE7 4 4 16 A up a certifcate or plaque for the shack wall.
VE7IHL 3 3 9 3B
VE3FU 2 1 2 3B The log deadline was March 31. If you sent in a log, you
