Congrats to the winners.....sounds like they were all chosen from the live viewers.....if you were not available for the live broadcast you were out of luck......is that right? I hope not.

No, that is not right - only the winners for prizes at the bottom of that list were chosen from the live audience. (I watched the broadcast!)

We at QRZ want to thank every person who participated in the sweepstakes and watched our live broadcasted prize giveaways as well as everyone who uses the site on a regular basis. We also want to thank our incredibly generous sponsors in this contest. We'd like to give a shoutout to our QRZ volunteers who work countless hours to help make the site a fun and inviting place to spend time. We couldn't do what we do without them.

Over the past 2 months we've given out a number of great prizes but last night we gave away the Grand Prizes in the 25th Anniversary Sweepstakes. Here is a list of the winners who were announced on December 5th along with a list of those who were chosen from among the live viewers of our broadcast:

During last night's live broadcast we also gave away some prizes to those folks who tuned in online. Our plan was to ask some trivia questions and give the prizes to the first to answer each question, but there were so many of you in the chat room (over 900 people) that the screen was difficult for our MCs to decipher. For that reason, the following prizes were awarded at random from the crowd:

DX Engineering Swag Packages were won by:

Steven Gehring, NL7W, KE9OL, Ted Kleeman, Mark Steele, KD2NOM, Richard Subers, KD2OXT, Randall Rueff, K9RMR

ARRL Gift Certificates will be awarded to:

Russell Blanchette, KB1GKN, Chad Eagle, K0WVM, Glen Brooks, WM3T, Shannon Davis, K5SMD, James Dallas, AD5NL, and Zar Gon, AD8AB

An LED Lantern from Wired Communications will be shipped to:
Larry Ward, W7GST

And last but not least, A coax set, power panel and AMP meter from Wired Communications were won by:
Eric Lessard, N1RCX

We want to thank all of you who use and use QRZ every day for your loyalty over the last 25 years. Our commitment to you is that we will continue to innovate and create new resources for the Amateur radio community. We're humbled by your support.

And a big thank you again to our sponsors in the trivia challenge and to Gordon West, WB6NOA his wife Suzy, N6GLF and the members of the Arizona ARRL who came out to support us in our efforts this week.

As i said already...USA and Canada, sadly we should have not been included in the first place.

Have fun with the prizes.

NX1Q · Dec 8, 2018

Was there a youth category ? I was only paying attention partially.

PD7HB · Dec 8, 2018

Congrats to all winners but a little strange that there is only one European call in the winner list?

K6UMA · Dec 8, 2018

Congratulations to all of the winners! The generous sponsorship and prizes deserve a hearty thank you as well! Lastly, thank to the owners and administrators of QRZ for hosting this contest and trivia!!!!!

W5LLS · Dec 8, 2018

Funny how ALL the BIG prizes went to PREMIUM SUBSCRIBERS!

K8ERV · Dec 8, 2018

Ps: Some suggestions for improvement of the next Quiz:
- more questions on Ham Radio of current Century ;-)
(This year too many tubes and Equipment of early 20th Century etc.)
- reveal the way you randomly choose the Winners
(This year too many North-Americans and Premium members)

W8IXY · Dec 9, 2018
