The complete results for the August 11-12, 2025 running of the Meteor Scatter QSO Party (MSQP) have been published. They contain participants' scores, event statistics and a sampling of soapbox comments. Finally, credits appear for those who helped make the MSQP possible.
Note that scoring an event like the MSQP is a bit different than the typical ham radiosport event. Most of the MSQP scoring effort revolves around interpreting PSKReporter data (spots) for a variety of entrants: Some receive only, some who transmitted and made actual two-way QSOs, all of whom appear in the PSKReporter data. Log submissions were also used in the scoring process.
Every effort was made to be sure the reported numbers are accurate and reproducible, though it should be noted that the scores are for fun and enjoyment, a way to assess participation levels, and to help us plan for future events.
Most importantly, the scores recognize the many participants who contributed data which is just starting to be used for scientific analysis of 6 and 10 meter meteor scatter propagation. A hearty 'Thank You' to all who participated and made it a successful event!
