Jim Roberts VE7ZO had a nice big score in the BC QSO Party – 1,374,552 points. Note that when you post your score, you can also add comments. Thanks, Jim, for posting under IslandHF Radio Association.

I was hoping for the same excellent conditions we experienced in 2024. A disturbance on Friday degraded conditions somewhat, but didn’t dampen the overall fun. The score is almost identical to 2024, the difference being + 3 Q’s and + 5 multipliers in this year’s results. Most of the Q’s were domestic but we had a short EU opening on Sunday and the occasional intrepid JA made it in the log on both days. Surprised to work TK5MH on 3 bands.

Participation by the local VE7’s appeared to be on the rise based upon the great local publicity. Also, our local club, Island HF (Vancouver Island) has been instrumental in promoting contesting amongst their membership. Good representation by the host QP makes for a fun event so look forward to 2026.

Thanks for the Q’s, Jim VE7ZO
