Doug responded by saying, "At 51ssb 73 Doug

WCY181" Maxwell again threw down the gauntlet by increasing the number of SSB contacts. " Conditions slowly fading at 7pm cst. Still working some local traffic on 40 usb, til dx opens back up. 144 ssb 000 am WA 125

And so it went into Sunday between Maxwell and Doug. Meanwhile, Minuteman (Steve M.) was continuing to increase his lead in the AM category and trying to win 3 AM competitons in a row. The surprise of the contest was the disappearance of Raymond Fink. He would not be contesting this year, but did send a message on Sunday.

Ah, Boy! Looks like this contest was over last night. We had an eruption from a sunspot that triggered a geomagnetic storm that likely shut down the band. Low turnout, low contact numbers...sometimes feces happens. I'll have to pontificate on the next month's contest rules a bit. I may have to take a 2950 with me.... -paragraph skipped- Later on y'all Ray

On Sunday, Maxwell reported that he had 161 SSB contacts (almost breaking the record in contacts for the SSB contest.)

In the end, the winners were: Minuteman (AM)-over 100 and Maxwell (SSB)-167 contacts.

Contest #6: Jan.17-18, 2004

The 2004 World CB Radio Championships became a battle between Doug Schwinn, Raymond Fink, and Maxwell. I, Keith T. (listmaster), asked for some testamonials, in order to bring in some more competitors. Popular Communications had a nice article about the contest and how important our group was by monitoring and using 39 LSB during Emergencies. Here is Doug's testamonial: Good morning again, Well Keith has asked for past participants to give some testimony to encourage more folks to join the festivities. I entered last year, not expecting anything but having a good time and meeting some of the group members on the air. As it turned out I won the SSB division of the contest, inching out The "Fink" in N.C. by a couple contacts. This was my very first contest in more than 40 years of CBing and Hamming and I had a Ball.As a result of the experience and the confidence gained, I entered the 10-10 Summer Phone Contest, QRP division and won that. After the bug had bitten me I participated with my Amateur Radio Club Station in the Annual Skywarn event and had a great time. again. My advice would be to not be bashful and join the party. It's a ball. I personally look forward to meeting as many CB Group members as I can on the air but you need not be a group member to participate; anyone can play. Check out the article by Alan Dixon in Popular Communications for details or go to the CB Group page at Yahoo.com and then join a really positive activity if you want have some fun with your CB Radio. I sure would enjoy meeting you. I will be hanging around 37 thru 40 SSB so I'll be listening for you. By the way, we traditionally give each other a really hard time about the competition but it's all part of the fun so come and join us this weekend 1/17 2:00-1/18 2:00 Eastern Time. Please forward this to anyone you think may have fun doing this with us. 73 181 Doug in Grand Junction CO n0lay/kdz0430

Raymond Fink came back with a few good responces to up the antie

On contest day, there were the following entries... SSB: Doug S. (Defending Champ), Ray Fink, Iceman, Maxwell, Mark Wilde, Ernie Rice, Tobacco Hillbilly AM: Indycar (me), Bonecrusher, Minuteman (Defending Champ), Iceman, Maxwell, and Craig (Sport 454). Previous winner, Ernie Rice had these comments: "Time to kick butt YEAH and you know who I mean!!! He is going down. The ranger is tuned and the copy stick and beams are ready to go. O so is the other piece of equipment. The wife is going to help me log, and the cats are going to provide support!!!"

The setback for this year was Mark Wilde who had to back out due to a personal move.

Contest day began on Saturday the 17th with a rousing quote by Soug Schwinn, " 181 Doug in Colorado has "Got Game." and with the listmaster offering this following starting command, " Ladies and Gentlemen of this here Yahoogroup. You have heard the Smack but not its time to put down the Gauntlet. THE 6Th Annual World CB Radio Championships has begun! Keep this yahoogroup informed as much as possible!

And the competitors were off on another exciting adventure and praying the DX contitions would favor them. Ray Fink reported, 13 contacts, a slow start, but hang on for I'm about to hit the Nitro boost!." Doug reported, "And I made a contact in Nome AK Doug, 181 GJ,CO.(Ray Fink also commented shortly thereafter that he too had talked with the man in Nome. Sport454 (Craig) reported "having 18 AM contacts at 3:51 PM CDT." He would increase that later on to 26 with "lots of noise." However, in Northern Indiana, Minuteman (Steve M.), was increasing his lead with 45 contacts on AM (placing a CB antenna stick outside in a tree).

Ray Fink's contacts increased to "36" and Ernie Rice was kicking butt with "125 on SSB" in the early morning hours of Sunday. It later was corrected to show, " 137 after a recheck of my logs" (Rice).

That scared Ray Fink. Later on he said, "Dang, I've some work to do! (eh, eh, eh)."

Ernie Rice continued to increase his lead by having "151 now", (he would not stop).

Doug Schwinn reported, I'm at 45 SSB and 1 AM, Band seems to be opening up some to the East from Colorado. 151, D___, I'm getting spanked."

Meanwhile, Craig's numbers on AM increased to "70" and Maxwell said, "As of 8 PM My SSB count was 89...Skip is still going strong this evening, Lots of Michigan, Indiana, W. Virginia, Ohio...Mostly From the East Quadrant. Back to the shack 2 do more DXing. 73 WA 125 Maxwell" The band those two days was excellent and really opened up for the folks who contested. However, towards the end, it looked like the AM contest was in a DEAD HEAT!

AM Contest Bulletin! Sport should have over 100 contacts by now and at last report 1:20 PM EST Minuteman from Northern Indiana had 108 and is trying for 120. In the end, here were the final results for 2004: IN THE AM Category, Minuteman in Northern Indiana (Steve M.) defends his title with 148 contacts, Second Place so far is Craig (Sport454) with 130 Contacts, Third Place is yours truely (me) (Indycar) with 29 contacts, Fourth Place is Tobacco Hillibilly with 18 contacts, Fifth Place is Larry (Iceman) with 2 Contacts followed by Doug S. in Colorado with 1 sole contact. Now in the SIDEBAND DIVISION, we have a unofficial new champion. That would be Mr. Ernie Rice with (approx 170) Contacts, Second Place goes to Maxwell with 135 Contacts, Third Place goes to Ray Fink with 94 Contacts, Fourth Place goes to last years champ Doug S. with 76, Fifth Place goes to Larry (Iceman) with 7 Contacts, and last place goes to me with a measley 2 contacts.

Contest #5: Jan.18-19, 2003

After some good advertisement/write-up by Alan Dixon on the magazine Popular Communications, the renamed contest (World CB Radio Championships) was in serious preparation. On January 18th the contest began in spite of bad conditions. Here are some reports from the competitors

Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Diodes!!!!

In the absence of Listmaster Keith, it is my honor to declare the 2003 QSL contest officially underway.

All contestants are reminded to check in with this group periodically with conditions and progress, and encouraged to join the chatroom at 1900 (7:00 PM) eastern time tonight.

Good CB'ing to all!!!!

Mark Wilde KHD8472/WT2901

Group, Just finished up on the antenna about 4:15, checked the standing wave, made two contacts. The second one? None other than Doug. Mr. 181 himself.

Grabbing something to eat and it's off to the shack.

We're at 28. It was great to talk to Ray in N.C.

7:33 PM EST Report from Listmaster Keith

Minuteman is currently leading the AM within the 40 contest with 20 contacts Bonecrusher is second with 14 Indycar third with 8.

Fluffy is dominating the Channel 19 Contest with 50 so far and still going strong.

WHAT IS UP WITH SPACECASE ? NO NEWS YET!

From Doug: 19:55 and I'm stuck for the time being at 56ssb. Doug, 1L181

10:13 PM EST report: Conditions here are down to local only. Having a hard time finding any traffic, so I'm going to give it a break for a while and try later. I'm just in it for the fun now anyway; too much happening around the house to be serious about competing this year.

Mark Wilde KHD8472/WT2901

While Minuteman (Steve M.) and his wife Fluffy (Jan M.) were dominating, here was the Spacecase report:

I had a busy day on saturday not much time to spend on the radio! What time I did spend, I noticed conditions were not the best. I did make 3 contacts last night which were locals. Its 6am on sunday now I am gonna give it another shot today. OK heres my strategy for this year........... Wait till the last day when every one gets burned out and tired and loose their voices and then early in the morning catch the skip cycle as the sun rises and make contacts galore! The only reason I am disclosing my plan is that most of you competitors out there either stayed up too late and will be sleep the morning away,talked too much and lost your voices, or your radios just stopped working (workin them just too hard).

So as I defrost my antenna and the ice falls,listen out there in radioland and you might just hear Space Case on the airwaves!

P.S. Fink beware Space Case is in the place!

Regards, Space Case 242 Northern Indiana

It's about 10:20 here and we're still plugging away. At 71ssb and 16am. I hear the "Fink" all the time out here. Lots of boys with big noisey toys making it hard to communicate. One IDIOT has a robot voice and can't understand a damned word he's saying. You'd figure he'd fade out but he hangs in solid on my channel. Pure noise, Like "Heavy Metal"

Doug 1L181

Finally at 2 PM EST (the usual finish time), the 2003 Contest ended.

Here are the results

AM & FRS (only competitor in FRS with 10)-Minuteman: 50 (AM) Others in AM: Bonecrusher (26 contacts), Doug S (16 contacts), Spacecase (15 contacts), Indycar (13 contacts) Sideband (winner) Doug S. 91 contacts. Second: Raymond Fink (76 contacts), Indycar (3 contacts), and Mark Wilde(2 contacts)

Fluffy won the Channel 19 contest with 80 contacts

Contest #4: Jan. 19-20, 2002

This contest was a very interesting one. Same and different individuals were competing in this area, including more members of the Michiana CB Emergency Service. Raymond Fink put his name into the ring with this message.

Subject: Re: [cbradio] Send early entry list here for CB Contest Hey Space Case, You are looking a little blue there. Hope it's not anything you got in the mail. Is that you I see in the cross hairs? Fink Mark Wilde also joined, as did Spacecase who had this to say on Contest day.

I have a road trip to do today. Heading for the windy city of chicago. This will be the first time I actually used my broken down mobile cb two way communicator in a contest. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I wonder what performance my broken down radio would do if I parked by lake michigan using the windy city to blow my transmit world wide! Regards,Space Case (as I hit the door!)

The contest began on Saturday and lasted till Sunday. But to everyone's surprise, the Fink was nowhere to be found....

As the Fink was no where to be found, the Captain of the Michiana CB Emergency Service (Blondie) and Dart Player( Asst. Capn). went ahead in their respective contests: Ch 19/FRS).

Chris Shelton also competed in the FRS division and this is what he said, " Hey all: I'm having a terrible time making any contacts on FRS. I'm at my home with an Audiovox FRS-1000 base station that I had good luck with before, but this afternoon, I can't seem to keep anybody on long enough to get a name and where they are from. I have an interstate about 1 mile from my house and figured I would make many contacts from there as I had in the past. Its no panning out. I think I'm going to hop in may car and head up to the top of a hill with my Radio Shack mobile FRS radio and see if I can do any better."

Mark Wilde had trouble but kept going on with the sideband contest.

"Well, it's T+2:20, and conditions are not that good in Washington. I've been working mainly 30-40 LSB off and on, and getting serious DX from all over the country and a little from Canada, but just can't seem to get through the DX. Only 2 solid contacts thus far, both from Southern California. Back to the radio and still trying, until the skip dies. 73, Mark Wilde"

Keith, I still sit at 5 contacts SSB. Just didn't get on the base this morning, although at 7:00 AM local time the skip seemed to be floating in very well. 3 hours of sleep at that time dictated that I fall back in bed...which I did! I woke up at 10:45 local, which in west coast time means 15 minutes remaining in the contest. So I sit at 5 SSB, and I'll get my report in the mail to you Tuesday. (No mail on Sunday, no mail tomorrow, MLK Jr. Day.) WHERE IS FINK?????? Mark Wilde"

Anyway, there was one individual who claimed to have competed and won, but that individual was putting on a big hoax. But in spite of a bit of problems.. here are the results

AM-Spacecase, Astronaut

FRS-DartPlayer, Chris Shelton,

CB 19-Blondie

Sideband-Mark Wilde

And so the contest prepared for 2003 with a NEW name-the World CB Radio Championships!

Contest #3. Jan 13-14, 2001

This contest ranked as one of the best contests and one of the most controversial contests ever in the short history of the International CB QSL Contest. Notices were sent out to various groups-including the Legal CB/FRS list (which protested all the way to the FCC). After some calming down of the host and 24 hours of worry, the contest plans continued on.

One of the biggest challenges of the contest happened between two gentlemen-- Spacecase and Raymond Fink.

Here is what they had to say ahead of the contest....

To whom shall see these presents; greeting.

Let it be known that The Fink just returned from Lowe's home improvement warehouse with certain materials for the construction of a 3 element Yagi beam antenna. The Moonraker is still laying on the ground with some parts missing and whereabouts unknown. Therefore, it was deemed necessary to partake in the construction of a "home-brew" to facilitate the directional intensification of subject's radio frequency transmissions. Woe is he that dares tread on The Fink's plans for domination! (Got that Space Case?) I'll take your bet, and you're gonna regret, 'cause I'm the best that's ever been!

I have to end the contest early At approx. 1:15 pm

I have to leave town for the day. I should be back in the later part of the evening, like around 8pm.

I really wish I could have finished to the end, especially if there was to be a tie!

My final count for AM is 161

Farthest AM contact was Jamaca

SSB is 103

Farthest SSB contact was Ireland

I was battling with canada and the buckeye, making conditions rough on me :)

It was alot of fun running two base stations at one time (one on sideband and the other on AM) On side band I was running a RCI 2990 w/ Astatic echomax 2000 and a M107 40 ft in the air.

On Am I was running a Galaxy DX22B w/ night k eagle and an Antron 99 w/ground plane 50 ft in the air.

The contest ended at the usual 2 PM EST time and here is the Fink's report. Best wishes to all on the contest!

From: "Raymond Fink" Date: Sun Jan 14, 2001 7:44 pm

Subject: tally is in

Hello to all the tired souls,

I had exactly 100 contacts in the sideband operations.

Some details:

First: 933 Nebraska "Gary"

Last: 909 Black Diamond, Washington "Brian"

Notables: no # Manaus (amazon jungle) Brazil "Epitacio"

511 Denmark "Arne"

Night Hawk Luxembourg (europe) "Roby"

**15RF001 Switzerland "Peter" (mobile station)

803 Hilo, Hawaii "Max"

** this is without question the most notable contact. Fellow in his car in Switzerland where he says it's "very cold and snowy" Wonder where the reputation came from? He couldn't believe he was contacting USA from his car. This contact took approx. 20 min to complete because of conditions and noise (both man-made and natural static) on frequency.

I did include contacts missing name and/or numbers. Some contacts would not divulge names, and some did not use any "call sign" (numbers). Only solid contacts are included in my tally. Anyone lost on the first exchange was deleted from the list. If I heard them repeat my call, I included them. If they called me and I returned but did not get any response then I considered it "no contact"

Interesting note. I had 18 contacts in the last 30 minutes with the majority in the last 15 minutes. The real string came when I switched to USB. I worked LSB for all but the last 45 minutes. Reason? The AM carrier tone is not a problem in the LSB mode. Switched to USB when things got quiet. It's amazing how many stations are "scanning the band" in search of good radio contacts.

I appreciate Space Case acknowledging having heard me. I did tend to have lengthy conversations with folks that didn't understand the urgency of contesting. Courtesy is number one in radio. My original estimate of 300 to 400 contacts may have held if not working the regular 40. The frequencies I'm accustomed to using are dominated by folks that understand the quick nature of contact while in contest. I would like to be clear on one thing: KEITH, thank you for the way you structured the contest (especially SSB). I would never have met any of the operators I found, nor would I have "wasted time" on the regular 40 in SSB operation. What a learning experience!

I look foward to hearing everyone's notes on the contest, seeing you folks in the chat room, and DOING IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR!

Contest #2 Jan. 15-16, 2000 Data and Winners:

2000 Contest: #2

Preparations for the second annual contest began right around the time of the inaugural contest in 1999. The outband contest was shifted to this year as an experiment and the AM and AM Skip contests were combined into one after Spacecase's great win. Another change that was made was There was some interest leading up to the contest. Hillibilly of Stateland CBers of New York agreed to advertise the contest at his group's cb jamboree and a few others make supportive comments-but overall, it was uncertain of just how many competitors there would be.

Final previews were sent out just before the second contest started which generated a lot more interest. People began to join in and give their support from all over the country.

The contest began on Saturday, Jan. 15, 2000 at the scheduled time of 2 PM EST.

Competitors began to send in info on where they were, the channel they were on, and how they were doing.

One competitor who was doing good, but suffered hard luck was R.J. Here is what he had to say:

Subject: Re: THE BIG CONTEST

I've been trying to do three things today. I wa working on number 1 thismorning, and had to go for parts. I left at 2pm to get some parts and makea few contacts. I made about 20 contact mosty midwest, and was on the wayhome and I lost all receive. Well I finally got to track it down around 6pmand found it to be a melted conector. Hopefully I'll get it fixed and tryto make up some ground.Looks like everypone is doing well. Good luck! The coax problem would unfortunately sideline RJ but not before he had made 15 contacts in the Outband part of the contest.

Defending AM/AM skip champion Spacecase continued his contacts and Hillibilly and his New Yorkc club members did the same.

At the evening chatroom session, a few competitors chatted and tried to reach each other-but chatroom difficulties prevented some successful chatting. At that time, Hillibilly was in the lead.

The contest continued into the night and then into the morning hours. Spacecase sent an e-mail with a very nice subject title.

What we have HERE is a FAILURE to COMMUNICATE.............

As of 6am this morning I have reached 98 contacts staying up all night ! I slipped off to the lower outer bands and reached alot of long distance contacts mostly around california and new mexico 25 contacts on the outer bands. If the frequencies have less static level I should stand a better chance today.

Spacecase reported shortly afterwards that the skip began to roll in around 8 AM EST.
