As a HQ multiplier, we really had no one to directly compete against. We felt our job was to make the ARRL HQ multiplier available to as many stations as possible. Even with poor conditions, we gave it our best! We have a claimed score that is the 3rd highest W1AW portable (behind the Florida Contest Group and the K5NA operation) IARU score. We also have the highest claimed multiplier of any previous W1AW portable operation. The above list of operators are All Star Operators in their own right. They are members of North Coast Contesters, the Mad River Radio Club, Society of Midwest Contesters or Frankford Radio Club. Thanks to W9ZRX for all of his multi site networking skills. The log is perfect! Thanks to Jim, WA3FET for making sure the K3CR station was ready to go. His pit crew was N3EB, KB3FUM, KB3HUZ, K3YV, N3FZ and W3FET. We'll see everyone in October for CQWW Phone multi multi as K3LR. 73, Tim K3LR Team Leader W1AW/3 2003 IARU HF Championship
