This weekend we participated briefly in the SSB portion of the CQ WPX contest as LN1K. Other events at Samfundet prevented us from making a significant entry, but nevertheless we got to work a number of contacts, and had a lot of fun. Most importantly, our newly licensed members got a chance to work QSOs in their first major contest.
Norwegian club-stations may use the LN-prefix in select contests. This can be beneficial in contests where unique prefixes give bonuses when worked. Rarer prefixes mean more incentive for the DX station to work you – increasing the total score. Details on use of the LN-prefix can be found at contesting.no (Norwegian article).

| 14 | 214 | 640 | 167 | 3.0 |
| 21 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 3.0 |
| Total | 276 | 1009 | 217 | 3.7 |
Our claimed score ended at 218,953, with 276 QSOs and 217 different worked prefixes. The log will be uploaded to LotW within the week.
