Skeeter Hunt Poker 2025

I put out a feeler on the Skeeter Hunt Facebook page for some ideas about what we can do for bonus points for the 2025 NJQRP Skeeter Hunt. Thanks to KC Kerchner KC9IH for coming up with the rudimentary idea for Skeeter Hunt Poker.



I still have to tweak it a bit, but here's what I'm thinking:

Royal Flush - Work 5 different Skeeters with consecutive Skeeter numbers - 1,000 points. This would be the most difficult, so working W2LJ can be used as a Wild Card.
Flush - Work 5 different Skeeters with the same call sign number in their call. - 750 points
Full House - Work 3 Skeeters with the same call sign number in their call, and two with another call sign number. - 500 points
Four of a kind - Work 4 Skeeters with the same call sign number in their call - 200 points
Two pair - Two Skeeters from one call area, two from another - 100 points

Only one bonus allowed per Skeeter, so of course, you'd work for the higher point value "hands".

Whad'dya think? Do-able? Too hard? Too easy? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.

    Good idea, but trying to score this will be difficult. I'd almost need a program to sort thru my log to calculate the score.

    1. You don't have to calculate your score. The scoreboard spreadsheet does it automatically. All you have to do is claim which hand you have and the call signs worked to prove it. Let's say you're claiming "Two Pair" you claim that in your summary and list the calls i.s W2LJ & N2RK - NK9G & WB9HFK. That simple.
