The 2008 Results have been released. They can be found via the link in the menu on the left.
The judges reported the following common findings:
- Mis-reporting of category. (Claiming Phone or CW mode but submitting logs with mixed contacts, or vice versa. These were quickly cleared up via email.)
- Colorado Stations forgetting to claim Colorado as a multiplier. (All scores were recalculated to include this multiplier if you earned it but didn't claim it.)
- Colorado Mobile Stations not submitting separate logs by county.
- Forgetting to include your power level category. (Some electronic logging programs don't include this in the file. Usually cleared up by an email to the submitter. If we don't know your power you are listed as "high"!)
- Not identifying your DX contacts. They are worth double points, don't forget to claim them.
We will soon start work on revising the contest rules for 2009. If you have any comments or suggestions please email them to us. Use the Contact Us link.
Our thanks to all who volunteered to help with the 2008 COQP. If you would like to help with the 2009 COQP or have questions or comments please email .
Please tell your friends about the COQP. Get the word out so we will have another great COQP!
