There were 48 logs submitted this year and many more stations participated
by getting on the air and giving out their counties. Band conditions were
very good as indicated by the higher scores.
Merle, VE1VCI; Bev, VE1TL; and Leo, VE1LEO; battled it out for first place
this year. They were also the top three stations in 2004.
Thanks again to the "Lone Rangers" in Richmond, Inverness, Queens, Victoria,
and Guysborough counties. By getting on the air contest day, they allowed
other stations to get all the counties for a "Clean Sweep"

Thanks to all who took part in the 2005 NSARA Contest.
