Comments:

I can’t think of a better way to spend a (warm) winter weekend than in the
K3LR Ham radio shack with a bunch of good CW radio friends! Another close race
for the top USA Multi Multi stations! Congrats to all of the CW Multi Multi
teams and especially to the W3LPL team for their continuous scores at the very
top. Year after year top performance is really hard to accomplish. Frank and his
team have pushed hard with every outing. The gang at NR4M is getting better
every time as well.

The contestmen here at K3LR really pushed hard and made the most of the radio
conditions. We are looking forward to sunspots again in a few years! I am very
proud to host this special group of CW radio friends. My sincere thanks to the
CW operators who made the trip to K3LR to have fun on the radio. DL6LAU from
Germany, N2NC and W2RQ from New Jersey. VE7ZO from North Carolina, VE3EJ and
VE3RA from Ontario. K4RO from Tennessee. N0AX from Missouri and K3UA, N3SD and
N3GJ from Pittsburgh.

As always, thanks to my good friend Dave, W9PA who put in tons of hours
working on many IT projects here at K3LR to get us ready and keep us going.
Thanks for all of your help and inspiration Dave!

Also thanks to Greg, W8WWV for his help on several projects that continue to
improve our station capabilities and to Tim, W3YQ for repairs and improvements
during December and January which made a significant difference in our
operation.

K3LR station details are at http://www.k3lr.com click on the HARDWARE tab.

We look forward to hearing YOU on the air and enjoying the ARRL
International DX Phone Contest in two weeks.

For the K3LR Team - Very 73,
Tim K3LR
