Great Condx. Best ARRL DX CW score ever from K3LR. K8GL is a super top band operator! 80 meters - Good condx 1st night. Very noisey 2nd night. 60 JA's. K3UA running with bad cold. Coffee consumption way down. Only 34 cups. Outstanding effort from a very sick operator! 40 meters - Good condx. Lots of JA's. Europe did not fade at 0200z. Low mults (123 last year). VE3EJ (Canada's best contestman!) and K9VV are a great team! Thanks to W3YQ for sitting in at the last minute. 20 meters - Great JA openings both days. FB Europe on day 1. Not enough guys to work day 2. KB3AFT rides Greyhound for 6 1/2 hours from Penn State Univ. to get here. Arrives with a cold. N9RV also has very bad cold. Good thing 20 wasn't sick. RV averages 100 coughs/hour and has best QSO rate at 162/hour. Tremedous effort from 2 dedicated contestmen! 15 meters - Good Europe both days. Great JA openings. Big QSO improvement over last year (625). Every multiplier they heard, they worked. Left nothing on the dial. N3RA and K8CX are two of the best 15 meter operators in the USA! 10 meters - A few Europeans both days. A couple of JA's. Band still mostly asleep. KA3JWJ and ND8L can't wait until we get some REAL 10 meter openings! After JWJ's 142 EU hour on 10 in CQWW CW, he is ready for this fall. ND8L wins favorite op award..... He brings the donuts. Congrats to W3LPL + crew and K1KI + crew and their fantastic scores! Also nice to see big efforts from N6RO, K0RF and W7RM in multi multi! We'll see everyone for the Phone contest! - Continent Statistics K3LR ARRL INTERNATIONAL DX CONTEST CW Multi Multi Feb 1998 160 80 40 20 15 10 ALL percent North America 27 28 45 48 50 36 234 4.1 South America 4 10 32 55 63 51 215 3.8 Europe 177 676 1003 1399 921 15 4191 74.3 Asia 10 68 156 357 219 2 812 14.4 Africa 4 10 16 17 15 6 68 1.2 Oceania 5 17 29 22 27 19 119 2.1 - QSO Counts By Band-Country K3LR ARRL INTERNATIONAL DX CONTEST CW Multi Multi 22 Feb 1998 PRFX 160 80 40 20 15 10 4X 1 5 3 1 9A 7 14 30 23 17 2 C6 2 2 5 4 4 2 CT 2 2 3 4 8 1 DL 15 106 126 217 166 1 EA 1 22 45 42 37 3 EI 3 4 4 7 2 ES 1 4 2 9 3 EU 1 10 5 12 10 F 7 19 42 56 34 G 22 66 72 108 56 1 GM 2 9 4 12 2 GW 6 9 3 7 4 HA 9 36 59 63 43 HB 3 14 20 28 23 HL 5 3 HS 6 I 12 33 110 116 89 2 IS 2 3 5 3 JA 6 60 115 253 189 2 KH6 3 5 6 7 8 5 KL 2 1 5 3 1 KP4 4 2 3 5 3 6 LA 1 5 6 12 9 LU 1 2 8 21 27 26 LY 3 9 3 20 9 LZ 1 12 26 23 15 2 OE 3 3 7 16 8 OH 2 8 19 53 17 OK 16 56 53 76 61 OM 9 22 15 27 13 ON 2 19 22 31 23 OZ 2 8 6 15 9 PA 6 11 16 40 33 PY 1 1 10 19 19 9 S5 7 26 47 36 33 1 SM 7 11 13 28 19 SP 5 22 17 52 29 SV 2 2 9 7 6 T9 1 5 1 2 UA 3 20 51 113 45 UA9 3 22 59 13 UR 3 41 80 63 34 VK 2 5 12 7 7 4 VP8/h 2 3 6 2 3 XE 3 4 9 7 8 4 YL 3 3 3 5 5 YO 1 7 11 6 6 YU 5 25 47 46 34 1 Z3 1 5 3 3 ZL 2 5 1 3 3 ZS 1 2 8 6 6 3 *Minimum of 5 on any band BREAKDOWN QSO/mults K3LR ARRL INTERNATIONAL DX CONTEST CW Multi Multi HOUR 160 80 40 20 15 10 HR TOT CUM TOT 0 8/8 72/27 79/27 85/24 39/15 ..... 283/101 283/101 1 14/9 62/7 76/18 63/12 3/0 . 218/46 501/147 2 22/7 40/8 86/19 18/3 . . 166/37 667/184 3 13/9 42/8 56/9 11/4 . . 122/30 789/214 4 21/10 52/5 42/1 2/0 . . 117/16 906/230 5 36/7 26/4 62/6 2/2 . . 126/19 1032/249 6 15/6 43/6 56/2 1/0 . . 115/14 1147/263 7 6/1 33/3 30/5 1/1 . . 70/10 1217/273 8 1/0 14/4 25/1 1/1 ..... ..... 41/6 1258/279 9 2/1 15/4 20/2 . . . 37/7 1295/286 10 1/1 21/1 15/0 54/15 . . 91/17 1386/303 11 4/1 14/0 13/0 104/11 11/8 . 146/20 1532/323 12 3/0 12/0 33/3 162/7 38/18 1/1 249/29 1781/352 13 . . 4/1 102/6 83/22 8/5 197/34 1978/386 14 . . . 109/4 144/10 11/7 264/21 2242/407 15 . . . 80/1 118/7 13/10 211/18 2453/425 16 ..... ..... ..... 82/1 84/2 9/6 175/9 2628/434 17 . . . 73/2 65/6 8/3 146/11 2774/445 18 . . . 77/4 13/2 6/2 96/8 2870/453 19 . . . 57/3 18/4 7/4 82/11 2952/464 20 . . 43/1 43/1 9/0 5/1 100/3 3052/467 21 . 2/0 64/1 31/0 12/0 4/3 113/4 3165/471 22 . 15/1 65/0 41/4 37/3 7/3 165/11 3330/482 23 6/0 59/3 60/2 35/1 55/3 2/0 217/9 3547/491 0 15/2 49/2 33/1 38/2 30/0 ..... 165/7 3712/498 1 6/0 29/1 26/0 29/2 4/1 . 94/4 3806/502 2 7/2 21/2 25/0 16/1 . . 69/5 3875/507 3 7/1 23/0 23/1 3/0 . . 56/2 3931/509 4 9/2 25/3 24/3 . . . 58/8 3989/517 5 7/0 24/2 17/2 1/0 . . 49/4 4038/521 6 6/0 31/0 21/1 . . . 58/1 4096/522 7 1/0 17/1 13/0 . . . 31/1 4127/523 8 ..... 2/1 9/0 ..... ..... ..... 11/1 4138/524 9 . . 14/0 1/0 . . 15/0 4153/524 10 . 1/0 3/0 22/0 . . 26/0 4179/524 11 . . 2/0 37/0 6/0 . 45/0 4224/524 12 . 3/0 32/0 65/3 40/2 . 140/5 4364/529 13 . . 1/0 38/0 98/2 1/0 138/2 4502/531 14 . . 1/0 37/0 73/1 11/4 122/5 4624/536 15 . . . 29/1 81/1 7/1 117/3 4741/539 16 ..... ..... ..... 40/0 53/1 5/1 98/2 4839/541 17 . . . 35/1 27/0 8/1 70/2 4909/543 18 . . . 38/0 8/1 3/1 49/2 4958/545 19 . . . 30/0 3/0 4/2 37/2 4995/547 20 . . 12/0 32/1 7/2 4/1 55/4 5050/551 21 . 1/1 53/1 20/1 6/0 1/0 81/3 5131/554 22 . 28/1 54/0 11/0 34/0 3/1 130/2 5261/556 23 11/2 33/1 47/1 8/0 33/0 . 132/4 5393/560 DAY1 152/60 522/81 829/98 1234/107 729/100 81/45 ..... 3547/491 DAY2 69/9 287/15 410/10 530/12 503/11 47/12 . 1846/69 TOT 221/69 809/96 1239/108 1764/119 1232/111 128/57 . 5393/560 - *
