Well till I saw a tweet from @VE6NRÂ* 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.Â* 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.Â*

Thats what the lottery agent tells me. Â*Lets take that a bit further and go
with the saying that you cant win a contest unless you submit your logs. Â*

Lets use the QRP resultsÂ*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 Â*I guess the 2 hours that I operated in was one of the better times to
play. Â*



But as I neglected to submit. Â*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.. Â*

I Â*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.
