The 2017 plaque

Back in September, 2017, during the Salmon Run contest, Gary scored the most points in the category for which the SDXA gives a plaque.

Congratulations to Gary. It’s been a long time since a SDXA member won our plaque. Gary also had the high score for Spokane County. Incidentally, Gary is on the ARRL DXCC Number 1 Honor Roll!

Gary’s statistics:

384 QSOs
58 multipliers
60,182 points

The plaque is given to the highest score satisfying these parameters:

  • Single Operator operation
  • using Low Power
  • Operating in the ARRL EWA Section
  • Mixed mode (two or more modes [phone, CW, & digital], at least 5% of score in the smallest one)

SDXA took 3rd in the club scores with a total of 198,262 points only bested by the Radio Club of Redmond and the South Hill Contest Club.
