Comments:
Another great run in the USA DX Multi Multi competition during the annual ARRL
International Phone DX contest. Congratulations to the W3LPL team as
well as all multi operator teams for great scores! We are fortunate to have
excellent competition in the Multi Multi category here in the USA.
The weather was a factor this year as all of the K3LR operators did not arrive
until 6 hours into the event! Winds the day before at K3LR were above 50 MPH -
but no damage. Changing solar conditions were in play during this contest.
This contest really tested the operators and the hardware at K3LR!
This is one reason we run all out in these major DX operating
events - you never know what will happen!
The ARRL DX Phone contest activity was great this weekend and there was lots
of DX for all 48 hours. Sharing our awesome friendship via wireless radio with
others around the world is what makes this the most amazing hobby in the
world.
My sincere thanks to the talented K3LR contestmen - very good friends -
that traveled from all over to be a part of this special weekend at K3LR.
Great operators are the secret to doing well in a radio contest and these guys
are some of the very best!
No K3LR effort happens without the dedicated talented hard work by Dave, W9PA
who puts the computer network together for each contest and helps with
many of the K3LR station projects. Also thanks to Greg, W8WWV for his help
creating new gadgets. Tim, W3YQ did many key repairs to help keep everything
working. Thanks Tim! Very special thanks to Bob, N6TV who has created custom
radio setups, scripts and WinTest help for us all season long. Even during the
contest!
Many many thanks TV Bob!
Chef Sal WM2H kept the K3LR team well fed.
Simply awesome food!
