It took forever to get all the S's, and that held me up about a week in completing the challenge. Glad I ran into K6JSS/8 - that took care of 4 of the pesky S's. It was a lot of fun as always though. I really enjoy digging out the letters, especially now that we can't use contest/sprint QSO's. That made it just too easy. Also I like the fact we only compete against ourself in the challenges now. No pressure to get more than the other guy or to do it faster than him. Just master the challenge - period. I also think we have a good balance in the alphabet challenges now with the current number of words/letters - not too hard nor too easy. NOTE: 4/23 - It's near the end of the month, and I'm trying to convert my list to an all DX challenge. Looks like the pesky S's will do me in there though. I still need to convert 2 S's to DX. NOTE: 4/29 - Thanks to S59N, it's now an all-DX challenge. K2HPV - Yes, there were a lot of "S's" ....but it seemed to me there were twice as many "R's". Still good fun ! K1IEE - Had another fun time with the challenge.Thanks to all 73 Dick PA1B - 8 Days of activity gave 29 QSO's, to get all the letters. 12 QSO's were made with more then 1000 MPW. Most spectaculair was the QSO with Rob W1MK, who was using 1kW and I used 1 watt. Rob has Excellent ears which, match the power that he uses. In the end I only needed the letters P,S and V. An enjoyeble QSO with SM6STI/QRP gave the last S. When I heard the CQ of OL2011VP, the Challenge was over within a minute. I did enjoy the Challenge. N8XMS - I knew that I was in trouble on this one when I didn't work a single call with the most commonly needed letter ("s") until April 23rd. The other letters were relatively easy. The end of the month was just too busy and I only managed to get two QSOs in after that one on the 23rd, one of them was one more "s". No matter how bad a month goes, there is always some bright spot. For me that was working the unusual call LZ1802PLO on 17 meters. 73, Paul VE3FUJ - When the bell rang I still needed 1 - U, 3 - M's, and 4 - O's. just didn't run across them, its funny that is, one time you got excess letters next time you don't have near enough of the same letters.-------------- Wonder if John designed it that way???? HEE HEE. It was fun though, see you all next month. (This month) 73/72 Brion W2JEK - good challenge and lots of fun. thanks to the sunspots was able to just use dx call signs. 72 and 73 Don Younger W2JEK #1135 WB0QQT - At first I thought this would be easy as the bands seemed to be in pretty good shape when I started out earlier in the month. Did I ever get fooled ! ! It was my first Challenga and fun to "decode" to try make the words. I look forward to more of these. The May Challenge is a REAL challenge as I don't have any WARC band antennas. Hope my 80 meter dipole will tune to 30 meters. Maybe I just better make one and get it up right quick ! 72's........Steve/WB0QQT/ #292 PREMISE: This is the month many folks start planning, or in the warmer climates, planting their gardens. So this traditional alphabet-type challenge deals with terms relating to gardens and gardening. TIME FRAME: The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z RULES: Simply make all the words in the list below from the calls of stations you work to master the challenge. NO contest or sprint QSO's allowed. QSO's must be made using CW and QRP. COMPOST MULCH RADISH GARLIC ROWS CORN PUMPKINS RAIN SUN CUCUMBERS BEES FLOWERS WORMS VINES For reference, the following (21) letters are contained somewhere in the words: A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P R S T U V W You can use each letter in a call TWICE. For example you could use K3WWP for 2 K's, 4 W's, and 2 P's. Subsequent QSO's with the same station cannot be used for additional letters. For example, no matter how many times you work K3WWP, you can only use his call for 8 of the letters in the words. See the Alphabet Tutorial page for an excellent way to track any and all of our alphabet type challenges. AWARDS: A certificate goes to anyone making all the words.
