Well till I saw a tweet from @VE6NR* I had kind of forgotten about the
Winter Contest as this year I blew my scheduling and did not have much free
time to spend in the contest.
You might remember that I posted this just after the contest.
They tell us that “its better to give than receive”….
This past weekend I put it to the test and gave out some contacts in the
RAC Canada Winter Contest…
Due to other commitments I was only able to participate for two hours but I
was able to reach out and contact 28 fellow amateurs (21 Canadian and 7 DX)
and give them the “Ontario” Multiplier and my best wishes…
So…
For the record my unsubmitted score will be 224 points X 14 multis for a
total of 3136 points…
My scores have been higher in the past but then I usually can devote more
time to the contest.* This year I just could not do that…
You can find the scores on the RAC website following this link:
There is a saying that goes
you cant win unless you buy a ticket.*
Thats what the lottery agent tells me. *Lets take that a bit further and go
with the saying that you cant win a contest unless you submit your logs. *
Lets use the QRP results*as the example.

As I looked at the scores (above) one thing painfully came to mind. If I
had submitted my score my measly 3136 points actually did not look so
bad *I guess the 2 hours that I operated in was one of the better times to
play. *
But as I neglected to submit. *I at least know (from checking the logs I
did not submit) that a few of the highest scores in the contest managed to
get the rare Ontario multi during that time
I guess Ill know better for the next time.. *
I *submitted my logs for the 2016 RAC Canada Day Contest and have cleared
my schedule for the 2016 RAC Canada Winter Contest
And next time Ill buy the ticket.
