ARRL DX at K3LR * WWV Day 1 SF89 A=9 Day 2 SF95 A=4 * Here's the rough breakdown from K3LR multi/multi: Band QSOs Countries Operator 160 88 42 W3YQ 80 568 92 VE3EJ 40 1360 119 WA8YVR plus K3LR 20 1344 116 NA8V on all bands 15 1101 108 WR3G 10 98 52 NI8L Total 4559 529 = 7.23 meg Random comments: Congratulations to W3LPL on an absolutely super score. Its hard to catch up to the leaders when they keep improving too. Also congrats to K1KI. All this work and we still can't beat these guys! Conditions were simply superb on 40. Every G and DL with an outdoor antenna was S9 almost the whole weekend. QSO rates seemed to be limited only by activity. The "dead times" were between 0300 and 0600 UTC when most of the casual op's were probably asleep. Had a decent Asian opening on Saturday morning. JA3ZOH was THE big sig from Japan. Kept working long path until almost 1500 UTC. The real story behind the contest was all the work done by K3LR and WR3G getting the station ready for the contest. Talk about attention to detail! These guys have it down to an art. It seemed like every problem we had during the last contest season had been addressed and resolved. Not getting out well enough on 40? Fine. Take down the two 3 el beams, redesign them as 4 el, and put them back up. Big new antenna on 160. Superb filtering on all of the radios. No computer networking problems whatsoever. Tim even put in a separate air conditioner for the shack. You get the picture. Really an enjoyable place to operate. I don't know what else can be done to narrow the gap between Tim and the east-east coast (as opposed to the "almost" east coast), but I am sure Tim and Scott will do it. See you all on SSB. -- Pat WA8YVR More K3LR ARRL CW Data......
