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 factor this year as all of the K3LR operators did not arrive until 3 hours into the event! Winds the weekend before the contest at K3LR were above 70 MPH with some damage, which was taken care of before the contest. We understand that W3LPL had icing on the their antennas for 18 hours during the contest! Changing solar conditions were in play during this contest giving us some very poor solar weather to deal with. 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! 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! Otis, NP4G worked an incredible number of North and South American stations on 40, 20 and 15 meters. This contest operation is dedicated to long time K3LR teammate Greg, N3SD. We were all sad to learn that Gregs Father died today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Greg. 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 and LIV kept the K3LR team well fed. Simply awesome food!
