The number of QSO points from Sunday's SSS was not real impressive. According to the log, eight of us actually participated. In terms of percentage of club members, that is a very poor showing. However, I don't believe there were many months in which more than 8 members participated. Relatively speaking, we can say it was a good showing. Double digits should be a goal for December, which is the last month of the 2015-2016 SSS season. Maybe if enough of us try, one of us will get lucky and bag some rare DX from the north pole, as Santa takes a time out from making toys (on his 3-d printer).

The November winners were Chas (W2SH) and Johnny (AC0BQ), each with 3 QSO points. Chas has 78 points for the contest year, with Johnny coming in 2nd with 59 points. By the way, Johnny succeeded in moving up a notch in the year-long totals, surpassing Gary (KF7WNS-56 points), who must have taken the month off. Chas and Johnny will be receiving their November E-certificates shortly. According to the published rules, when the dust settles after the December Sprint, those who finish in the top three for the entire contest period will each receive E-certificates. It looks like Chas has 1st place in the bag, but the fight for 2nd place is far from over. And, of course, anybody can win the December E-certificate by finishing 1st for the month.
