Yes, but there is (at least) one very interesting side story that I 
learned by watching the online video of the closing ceremonies (almost 
the only thing worthwhile -- it was lousy quality and mostly VERY 
boring). OE3DIA/OE6MBG started with two K3s, but both were put out of 
business by lightning. An FT857 was quickly subbed for one radio, and 
within a short while, another FT857 was found. They worked the contest 
with the 857s, and placed #37. W6OAT should be able to shed some light 
on this -- Rusty was their referee!
