W1SYE WAS and DXCC Standings

Posted on by

Past paper logs from various summer activations were entered into a ACL Database by Jim, KA1ZOU, and entered by our QSL Manager, Chuck, N1CKT into Logbook of the World (LotW).  At this moment in time, W1SYE has 46 confirmed states, and 25 confirmed countries in LotW.  2,934 contact have been entered so far, resulting in 840 confirmed contacts.

What states are we missing?  Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, and Montana.

What countries do we already have confirmed?  A smattering from the Caribbean and Europe, and the official list can be found by clicking: W1SYE LOTW DXCC 25 Confirmed

A nice goal for the summer would be to obtain Worked All States (WAS) andd DX Century Club (DXCC) status for the club.

Thanks to all the hard working activators too!

Don’t Forget – You Can Work DXCC for W1SYE

Posted on by

If you ask John, K1JSM, for permission to be sure things are coordinated, you can operate as W1SYE from your home station and wrack up DXCC or WAS points for the club.

For example, a club member using the W1SYE call made contact with VP8SGI, South Georgia Island (AN-007), off the coast of Antarctica today (14.023.216/14.024.300 CW @ 20:37:34 UTC 2016/2/1).  Another was made the following day on 17 meters.

Remember to stay within your own operating privileges — in the example above the contact was in the Extra CW segment.
