Leaderboard Prize Update

September 22, 2020 - the QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo Prize Committee, made up of representatives of the biggest prize contributors, met today to break the ties at the top of the contest and made the following awards.  Each winner will be contacted individually by the company that is awarding the prize.  The following considerations were made:  prizes for the on-demand period were not awarded to persons who won prizes in the live session, and persons with call-signs "NoCall" were awarded magazine subscriptions.  

August 17th, 2020 - the QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo Prize Committee, made up of representatives of the biggest prize contributors, met today to break the ties at the top of the contest and made the following awards.  Each winner will be contacted individually by the company that is awarding the prize.  

Update: August 10, 2010

We have downloaded the Leaderboard logs for the live event.  We will post the winners of the live event Leaderboard within a few days.  

We will also put up the entire Leaderboard logs to allow you to search for your name and callsign to see how many points you accrued over the two days of the event.  

The On-Demand Leaderboard Contest is running now until September 9th, 2020. 

The companies that donated the prizes can only ship in the USA and Canada.  You must have a mail address in the USA and Canada.  In addition, you must be "opted in" to play. 

A Note on the Fairness of the Leaderboard Contest:

Keep this in mind:

• Your ticket was free
• The sponsors and exhibitors paid for the entire Expo by purchasing booths and donating prizes allowing us to present amateur radio's best speakers in our auditorium.   In exchange, they wanted you to visit them, chat with them, watch their videos and download their documents.  The Leaderboard was the incentive. 
• The gamer on the platform was removed.  We are examining logs to ensure that other gaming was not done to accrue points. 

​We are open to positive suggestions for other contests that we could run in our virtual environment.
