Idaho QSO Party 2018 Recap

This is “lucky year 13” for the modern Idaho QSO Party.  Our participation was the same as last year, but
with a better QSO count. And just like last year, it was challenging to make the QSO’s due to our position in
the 11-year sunspot cycle.  (Totals: 33 US States, 3 Canadian Provinces, 12 Idaho Counties submitted logs. 
No DX logs were received, and only a few Idaho stations reported working DX stations).

We again tracked the event-to-log receipt time and found that “almost everyone” submitted their logs within
three days, and ALL logs were received within a three weeks!  This is hugely appreciated.

As in previous years, we have some quirks in submissions (typically caused by the way computer-based logging
programs calculate their scores).  All logs are carefully “hand checked”, and we calculate scores by the method
specified in the event rules.  The principal “quirks” are as follows:

Some Idaho stations submitted each Idaho County they worked as a new entity or “multiplier”.  Nope, Idaho is
just another state, and we only get credit for Idaho once during the event.

The “claimed score” will differ from the “reported score” for all stations who operated mixed-mode, with SSB as one
of the modes.  This ties back to the score calculation methodology.  Seems like modern math, but it’s not.  Any station
that has a question regarding his/her score is welcome to send a note to the log submission page and we’ll help you sort
it out.  And remember, it’s a Party, not a Contest.  We are ever-so-pleased to receive EVERY log, whether you made
one QSO or 10,000!

The Idaho QSO Party Sponsoring Club is changing this year.  Future parties will be sponsored by the
Treasure Valley Radio Association (TVRA), located in Payette, ID.  A few of us from the
Kootenai Amateur Radio Society (KARS) will stay on as “consultants” for IDQP 2019. 

Thanks to all who attended our party this year, we thoroughly enjoyed having you stop by!  You’re invited to
attend again next year, beginning 9 MAR 2019 at 1900Z.

73 and good hamming to you, from all of us at the Idaho QSO Party!

  • Antenna is G5RV at 10 m in trees, Thanks for the fun! (KK4BZ, VA) 

  • Wonder where the Idaho operators were. In the three hours I operated between running and S&P'ing, I didn't find a single one. (N7TMS, ID) 

  • Just one contact but better than none (KM7S, CA)
