For information on other years and history please go to N1CC Contest/History The 95-96 Season was a peak season.
The first Contest of the 1995-96 season was the California QSO Party CQP on October 7-8, I operated in Single Operator Class with the following results: 82,360 points, 600 QSOs, 58 Counties (A Sweep!) in 18 hours of operation. This places N1CC in 10th Place outside of California!
The CQWW SSB on October 27-29 and I operated in the Single Operator Assisted category scoring 964,843 points with 926 QSOs, 90 Zones and 277 Countries in 21 hours of operation.
November 4-5 was Sweepstakes CW, with operation in the Single Operator Class - High Power. There was very limited time available, so I only operated for 16 hours. Final score was 107,800 based on 700 QSOs in all 77 Sections (Clean Sweep). Second place in ENY - WA1KKM/2 taking the high-power honors.
November 18-19 was the Sweepstakes Phone, with operation in the Single Operator Class - High Power. Again, with very limited time available, I only operated for 15 hours. Final score was 99,022 based on 643 QSOs in all 77 Sections (Clean Sweep). Second place in ENY - again trounced by WA1KKM!
The CQWW CW was held on November 24-26 and I operated in the Single Operator Assisted category scoring 1,001,835 points with 951 QSOs, 92 Zones and 277 Countries in 20 hours of operation.
February 16-18 was the ARRL DX CW, with operation in the Single Operator Assisted Class - High Power. I operated for 22 hours. Final score was 528,432 based on 872 QSOs in 202 Country Multipliers.
Weather conditions allowed improvements to the 160 Meter and 40 Meter Antennas prior to the ARRL DX CW. Even at -10 degrees (F) KB2HPX was able to help rearrange the 40M Loop - which allowed me to run EU late on Sunday, in retrospect I should have started earlier in the day to optimize the production of multipliers on 40.
March 1-3 was the ARRL DX SSB, with operation in the Single Operator Assisted Class - High Power. I operated for 16 hours. Final score was 379,323 based on 567 QSOs in 223 Country Multipliers.
March 30-31 was the CQWW WPX SSB, with operation in the Single Operator TS Class - High Power. I operated for 14 hours. Final score was 624,400 based on 645 QSOs with 400 Prefix Multipliers.
May 25-26 was the CQWW WPX CW, with operation in the Single Operator Assisted Class - High Power. I operated for 14 hours. Final score was 552,520 based on 600 QSOs with 380 Prefix Multipliers.
