Results of the 1997 Flight of the Bumblebees

Adventure Radio Society is pleased to report the results of the Flight of the Bumblebees, held on Sunday, July 27. We have separately published the Soapbox, brimming with fascinating experiences.
We were gratified to see the activity on the higher bands. Your operations on 20, 15 and 10 meters made this daytime event into a national contest, in which QRPers from coast to coast could renew their friendships. We will sponsor the Flight of the Bumblebees again in 1998, on the last Sunday of July. By then, the higher bands will be hot. Get those multiband QRP radios ready!

ARS will issue handsome certificates to the top four overall participants, and the top four Bumblebees. The Contest Manager is not eligible.

Thanks for your participation!

Russ Carpenter, AA7QU Contest Manger for Adventure Radio Society
