Snakes & Ladders result for January Received were 36 logs containing 1201 valid QSOs into 303 locator squares. Thanks to all for your continuous participation, which is very much appreciated. In addition, a check log was received from DJ6UX (Eddi). A warm welcome to three new participants: G0MPJ (Richard), G0OTT (Darren) and G3XVL (Chris). This brings the number of participants so far at 46. The Snake squares for January have been determined as follows: IO92 with 98 hits JO02 with 66 hits IO83 with 26 hits => Note that IO92, JO02, IO83, IO91, JO53, IO80 cannot be snake in the month of February, because they were already snake in either December or January. Of the 303 locator squares worked, 133 made it to ladder square with only 1 QSO each: IL38 IM12 IM59 IM75 IM77 IM78 IM86 IM98 IN50 IN51 IN77 IN83 IN88 IN91 IN94 IN95 IN97 IO52 IO53 IO63 IO64 IO71 IO74 IO77 IO84 IO85 IO88 JM68 JM75 JM78 JN07 JN11 JN17 JN23 JN26 JN27 JN34 JN41 JN42 JN52 JN56 JN62 JN77 JN80 JN81 JN90 JN92 JN94 JO23 JO29 JO49 JO54 JO63 JO67 JO69 JO82 JO86 JO90 JO91 JP53 JP66 JP81 JP84 KM27 KN08 KN16 KN17 KN21 KN29 KN33 KN34 KN36 KN37 KN44 KN45 KN49 KN68 KN75 KN84 KN87 KN97 KN99 KO03 KO15 KO16 KO27 KO33 KO40 KO50 KO64 KO76 KO78 KO80 KO82 KO92 KO97 KP06 KP11 KP15 KP21 KP22 KP26 KP32 KP41 KP69 KP71 LN04 LN07 LN29 LO01 LO02 LO06 LO07 LO11 LO16 LO20 LO23 LO33 LO53 LO66 LO68 LO76 LP31 LP98 MO02 MO05 MO25 MO64 MP65 NO14 NO53 OO14 OO17 This leads to the following scores (total accumulated scores in parentheses): 2E0DPH, Phil: 10 points (230) G3ZOD, Graham: -10 points (60) 2E0EML, David: 0 points (0) G4FAI, Tony: 10 points (130) 2E0TEK, Graham: -10 points (20) G4KLE, Merv: 35 points (535) 5B4AHO, Barry: - points (155) G4LHI, Peter: 60 points (600) DF2OK, Mike: 20 points (55) G5VZ, Chris: - points (30) DH0DK, Ben: 60 points (515) GM0EPO, John: 55 points (405) DK2DO, Wolfgang: - points (25) I2CZQ, Peter: 60 points (410) DK5OE, Klaus: 20 points (205) IK2RMZ, Martin: 60 points (600) DL1DXL, Lothar: 55 points (560) IK5WOB, Fabrizio: 10 points (125) DL1GBZ, Martin: - points (210) IZ1POZ, Paolo: - points (155) DL1HBL, Claus: 60 points (415) IZ5JLW, Lele: - points (55) DL7UGN, Mike: 15 points (290) M0DAG, Dean: - points (25) DO1UZ, Olaf: 60 points (505) M0DRK, Derek: 5 points (105) DO2TC, Peter: 60 points (480) M5ABN, Pete: 60 points (460) EI6KH, Chris: 0 points (155) M6DXL, Marshall: - points (0) F5IYJ, Philippe: 35 points (275) OE3LHB, Heinz: 55 points (580) G0DDX, Geoff: 0 points (15) OH7QR, Erkki: 60 points (600) G0DJA, Dave: - points (40) OK2BMA, Pavel: 30 points (175) G0ILN, Richard: -10 points (220) PA0ATG, Adriaan: 60 points (565) G0MPJ, Richard: 0 points (0) PA0DIN, Din: 15 points (230) G0OTT, Darren: 0 points (0) RN3ANT, Vitaly: - points (30) G3XVL, Chris: 5 points (5) RW3AI, Valery: 60 points (600) G3YJQ, Fred: 60 points (510) SP9NLI, Andy: 55 points (530) => Note that "- points" as usually means that no log was received this month => In January IO92 again was the epicentre of snake activity, unfortunately some did not manage to escape from these venomous monsters: 2E0TEK, G0ILN and G3ZOD fell victim to IO92. But since we are nearing the end of the first run of SL, IO92 cannot be snake any-more. So IO92, JO02 and IO83 are snake free zones for the next two months. Thanks to all for your participation, good luck for February, and I hope to see everyone back end of February or begin of March. Best 73s, Robert, DM4RW (mgr S&L)
