OL Party 2014 – overall results

Category A – ex OL stations

Category C – other

For the organizer

Thanks for participating, it was fine. The number of participants decreased slightly, however, several other ex-OLs also premiered at the OL party (OK2BVX, Multiband HF antenna, OM3CLS, OK1 YOU, OK1FPA, OK2PGY, OK1PW a OK2PWM). Conditions on 160 m were marked by a higher QRN, therefore 80 m pedaled as it should. There were quite a few stations with a weaker signal - either QRP or on a temporary antenna. Thanks to them for participating and diversifying the race, although it must have been clear to them, that they cannot count on victory. Still, I won't forgive myself for the remark - it's a shame, that they rarely called a challenge. Clearly, chance, that someone will call them, is relatively low, but if only all QRP stations did it this way, so they would never make QSOs with each other. Unfortunately, there was not a single participant in the youth category this year, which reflects the sad state of HAM youth. Sponsor's prize (digital SWR meter parts) received by OK1DOL stations, OK1XC a OK1ATP. You can judge by the comments of the participants, that the event was mostly liked, and so we look forward to meeting our colleagues again in a year!
