N2IC, Steven M. London, has been at or near the top of the leaderboard in virtually every contest he has entered for decades. He most often enters contests in the single-operator category and challenges himself sometimes with single-band, low power, and QRP entries. His scores are consistently off the charts. To give just one example, he entered the 2021 ARRL CW Sweepstakes in the QRP category and scored 166,992 points. That is a score that many high-power entrants could not even approach, and the second place finisher in the QRP category was 54,000 points behind. He also has won the North America QSO Party (NAQP) five times as a 2BSIQ, four times with 100 watts and once QRP.
Steve travels extensively to operate atmulti-operator-multi-transmitter stations, notably K3LR, and has been involved in the World Radiosport Team Championship six times with two Top Five finishes. He has been a valued source of information for new and old contesters alike on station and antenna design and operating strategy. A member of the N1MM contesting software development team since 2008, Steve created a customized version of N1MM to support rig-in-a-box (RIB) operations. A retired engineer, Steve lives on a mountaintop in southwestern New Mexico. He is a devoted communications technician with a volunteer fire department, providing essential communication in forested areas.
