Special congrats to KC1XX, W3LPL and K9NS on very fine jobs! You know it is VERY tough to catch these guys, but it looks like the hard work by the super team of K3LR contest men paid off. Our only multi multi ARRL Phone DX contest win was 6 years ago and this year the contest went every bit as good. My hearty thanks to the team of talented operators who continue to beleive in the dream of doing well from Western Pennsylvania. 160 Meters - John "I like CW much better", N2NC gave the new beverage system and phasing box a real work out. It's all about keeping your butt in the chair when there is almost nothing to work and John stayed with it both nights. To stay sharp and stay awake John had more "Red Bulls" than any other team member! 80 Meters - Tim, K3LR and Phil, K3UA plugged along. Phil did double duty with 15 meters and was 2nd place in the Red Bull drinking contest. Neat morning QSOs with P29 and YB0 as well as a few JAs. 40 Meters - Rookie K3LR 40 meter team, and they set the QSO and multiplier bar VERY high for future contests. A tremendous job by Dave, KM3T and Mark,KI7WX. A super first hour of 117 set the stage for 939 QSOs and a fantastic 114 multipliers! Way to go! 20 Meters - Andy, N2NT and George, K5TR did everything right on 20. These two guys are the BEST at what they do. Run them fast and get the calls right. Amazing job by two radio contesting super stars. 15 Meters - Phil, K3UA and Scotty, N3RA showed amazing big hour rates on Saturday of 216 & 254 followed by 195. This has always been the K3LR 15 meter "Dream Team" and with the perfect 21 MHz conditions, these guys took it to the limit. Outstanding! 10 Meters - Fred, K9VV worked very hard to find whatever he could to scrape together a fine 227 QSO effort. The glory days of 10 meters might be asleep for a few years, but Fred still flew in from his new QTH in Florida and made it happen. We are looking forward to CQWW in this fall! See you in Dayton! Very 73 from the K3LR Multi Multi team!
