CTRI
RETURNS FROM PUERTO RICO
AFTER THE 2008 CQWW WPX RTTY CONTEST
Taken
from Radio-sport.co
"In
the multi-op categories, the world leader is the team at NP3U,
which tallied a contest high 14.9 million points, almost five
million better than second place Z37M.
While short of the world Multi-2 record, the NP3U score will
easily best the North American record set at KI1G. Rick Davenport
KI1G also was a member of Team NP3U, so the record stays in
the same hands!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Members
NG1G, WE1H, KI1G, and N1HRA returned Feb 12th after spending
6 days at the home of Carlos WP4U
( "Mi Casita" contest station NP3U.
) The guys operated during the CQWW WPX RTTY Contest going after
thier own NA record set last year at KI1G's QTH in Coventry
RI. After only 24 hours they beat last years record and went
on to set a new NA record.
Congratulations to everyone for their scores in the contest!
What a great effort by the club! We had a great time working
everyone that called us; I think we even worked Jay AJ1M and
John W1AN on 5 bands, and Dean N1SXL got us on several bands
as did Ken K3IU. Rick has the log file but I know you guys worked
the heck out of us and we certainly appreciated it. Everyone
had great signals.
There
might have been some confusion as to us keeping our score secret,
but that was not the intention. I don't have all the details
by band, Qs, prefixes, etc (Rick is going over the log), but
I can tell you what our score was at the end of the contest
(rounding off to the nearest 1,000): 14,905,000
The
K1GOX Memorial Marathon Contest
Chuck KA1CQR has come up with the K1GOX
Memorial Marathon. This contest memorializes our friend, Ray
Highland, K1GOX-sk. This contest is open to all CTRI Contest
Club members, past, present, and future!
Awards: A plaque will be awarded to the category winners, with
their name and call engraved on a nameplate. This will be awarded
at the next reasonable meeting. After the "next" marathon,
the award will be returned to the club. Then, given a new winner,
another name engraved, and awarded again.

Foster N3KCJ, and Bill N1HRA Had a great time in Puerto Rico
operating during the CQWW WPX Phone Contest. This was Jim's
(KS1J) first time doing a DX operation and he said "I had
an absolutely great time!" Jay AJ1M was another first timer
and he said "let me say thank you to everyone for making
my first trip outside the US for a contest a wonderful one.
I had a lot of fun." Pat NG1G had this to say, "I
am extremely happy with our effort and our score. It's almost
astounding to believe that a group as small as CTRI is such
a force to be reckoned with in HF contesting. We are improving
every contest we operate in, and one day soon we'll take #1
World and EVERYONE in contesting will know who we are. A new
link has been added to the "Photo Album" with pictures
of the operation. Thanks to all the stations that worked us
and a big thank you to Carlos WP4U and the "Mi Casita"
gang for their hospitality. Look for CTRI and the "Mi Casita"gang

CTRI Places 3rd in the 2006
ARRL RTTY Round up
From QST:
On the Local Club level there were some new entries and no
repeats from last year in the top three. The Alabama Contest
Group won the category. Grand Mesa Contesters of Colorado captured
second place. These groups were followed in third place by the
CTRI Contest Group. This is my type of
contest and DX group they support kids, as well as contest.
