It turned out that the CPQP coincided with the largest solar storm in three decades, with aurora visible all the way south to Florida! So being able to work anyone from the Canadian Prairies was a huge challenge. This explains the low scores. Let’s hope next year’s solar weather cooperates!
Here are some statistics for the 2023 running of the CPQP:
