The NAQCC March 2025 Challenge NAQCC Monthly Challenges are originated and information regarding rules, ideas, or suggestions go to Gary K1YAN. Email him at  .Challenge results and the Challenge App (the online Challenge tracking and reporting application) is administered by Charlie N1AOK. Email him with any questions at  PLEASE SEND ALL CHALLENGE SUBMISSIONS TO CHARLIE!!! (If you use the online Challenge App, it will automatically send it to him). LINKS: Challenge App: http://naqcc.wb5rvz.org Challenge Worksheet: challenge_tracker.pdf THE DEEP SPACE NETWORK  PREMISE: As part of the NASA mission, unmanned spacecraft are sent to explore the universe. The data from their observations is sent back to Earth via radio. Control commands and system status data for the spacecraft are also relayed via a radio link. To support these communication links, NASA has created the Deep Space Network of communications complexes. There are three separate sites spaced around the globe to allow continuous, 24 hour, coverage of a space vehicle. To accomplish this the sites have been located in California, Spain and Australia. As the desired area of the sky falls beneath the horizon at one site, it rises above the horizon at another location, providing seamless coverage. Each of the three sites has a 70 meter ( 230 foot ) dish antenna. The shape of the huge surface of the dish is kept within a tolerance of one half inch to insure optimal performance. A hydrostatic bearing system uses three pads to support the 2,970 ton antenna and allow it to rotate on a thin film of oil. To increase the gain of the system, it is possible to combine the signals from the three sites. Amplifiers used to enhance the detected signals are cooled to nearly absolute zero to limit internal noise generation. The 70 meter dish is not the only antenna. There are 34 meter ( 112 foot ) and 26 meter ( 85 foot ) antennas as well. The 26 meter versions were constructed to support the Apollo missions, but now are used to track Earth-orbiting vehicles. Undertaking more advanced missions in the coming years will produce bigger, more complex streams of data, perhaps including video streaming. The huge data transfer requirements will challenge the bandwidth capabilities of current radio systems. A possible answer to this problem is being investigated by NASA. The Deep Space Optical Communications project, DSOC for short, will utilize lasers to transfer data streams. The system will provide a much greater capability to transfer data between Earth and future space vehicles. TIME FRAME: The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z. RULES: Just make these words from calls of stations you work, subject to the General Challenge Rules. DEEP SPACE NETWORK 230 FOOT DISH ANTENNAS HYDROSTATIC BEARING SYSTEM COOLED TO NEARLY ABSOLUTE ZERO The 85 total letters contain these 25 different letters and numbers: A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P R S T U W Y Z 0 2 3 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 General Rule #5 for more details on what callsign letters can be used. If you need some help with your alphabet challenge record keeping take a look at our Alphabet Tutorial page for everything from some great pencil & paper methods to fully computerized tools. AWARDS: A certificate and Participation Point go to everyone making all the words and submitting their report before the deadline. A Participation Point goes to everyone making at least 1, but not all the words and submitting their report before the deadline. YOU MUST COMPLETE AND SUBMIT AT LEAST ONE WORD TO RECEIVE A PARTICIPATION POINT! LOGS: For your report, list the words you made and the station used for each letter in the word. The number of stations listed must be the same as the number of letters in each word, even though you use the same station for more than one letter as in: WORD - K3WWP N2OD WA8REI N2OD NEXT - NF8M W8REI N8XMS K9EYT (Note how N2OD is listed for both the O and D.) You may also include comments about the challenge. Please preface any comments you want posted with "SOAPBOX:" so we will know what you want posted and what is private. Send your results as text in the horizontal format shown above to Charlie N1AOK at: charlie.wilber AT gmail.com (You must type that address into your email program.) Subject must read: (your call) NAQCC (month year) Challenge For example: K3WWP NAQCC January 2022 Challenge All entries must be RECEIVED before the 10th of the following month at 2400Z.

Half were POTA and SOTA. W4JL: A wonderful Sunday 2025-03-02 tO accomplish a great challenge chasing POTA and SOTA! 72 W4JL Dave WNC #10660 K3ES: 4-hour POTA Activation. 110 contacts, 103 unique callsigns. Complete! W5GDW: Thanks for another great challenge. See you next month. VE3DQN: Hmmm, finished the Challenge much sooner than I normally do. What am I going to do the rest of the month? Oh, I know, participate in the 7 State QSO Parties in this month. And the NAQCC Sprint, of course. Don KN4OK: Another great challenge! Rig was my G106 this time. KC5F: After almost a month with no way to play radio in central Mexico, it's nice to get back on! These were mostly from POTA hunting, again. KJ7BS: This was my first NAQCC Word Challenge. It was a lot of fun most contacts were made using my Elecraft K2 and EFHW sloper up to 32 feet. I was able to fill the requirements from POTA, SKCC, and simply calling CQ on QRP calling frequencies. W4KAC: Thanks once again. I thought Os would be a challenge, but they all showed up within a few minutes of each other! Ken, W4KAC, NAQCC 10032 AK3X: Gotta love calls like WB9EEE😀. Fun challenge as usual. ON7DQ: Always happy if I can finish the challenge in the first 10 days of the month ... hi. Doing a POTA activation helped a lot. Rigs used : IC-705 with a telescopic vertical for POTA, and 3 different QCX rigs (used on 60/40m + 30/20m + 17/15m)+LW antenna at home. Great fun ! Luc ON7DQ NQ8T: MNY TNX All!!! 72 steve N1OI: Could have really used my own call. LOL Equipment Elecraft K2 – 5 Watts home-brew Phasing XCVR 40 meters – 5 Watts home-brew superheterodyne XCVR 30 meters – 3 Watts Antenna: 66’ flat-top with open-wire feed and home-brew tuner Jerry Wolczanski KI4IO Warrenton, VA N8XMS: By March 6th I was cruising to an early easy finish and only needed five more O's. It took me 9 more days of hunting to finish those up! |
