The Louisiana Qso Party (LaQP) was held on March 14, 2015, with the Louisiana Contest Club (N5LCC.com) sponsoring the event. 

     Club station N5LCC was once again the bonus station, and participation was up with 94 additional participants this year.

    57 of the 94 participants worked the club station, N5LCC and got the 100-point bonus. We had three rovers again this year. K5UQ, W3DYA, and NO5W logged many miles activating parishes, earning a 50-point bonus for each. We appreciate their efforts giving out a large number of contacts with some rare parishes and making this much more enjoyable for everyone.

     The most active state, other than Louisiana, was a tie between Mass and Ohio. The most active DX country was Germany.

     LaQP committee members WM5H and K5ER manned the bonus station and handed out 944 Qso's. N5LCC worked the most multipliers, 211, and earned the highest score - 416,514 points. Since its purpose was strictly to provide bonus points and increase activity,N5LCC is entered as a check-log and not in competition with other participants. The complete N5LCC log has been uploaded onto LoTW.

The "Top Ten" scoring stations for 2015 are:

1. NO5W (+K1DW) – 282,434
2. KA5M – 152,000

     The rules listed a number of categories in which certificates could be won. The category winners, along with winner of each state and DX country are available below.

     A list of all participants, ranked by score, is available @ 2015 rankings.

     We thank all participants for taking time to join our event. Please plan to join us again in 2016 –  once secured, dates and rules will be posted on the LAQP.org web site.

     On behalf of the LaQP contest committee, thanks for making this a great event.
