[OKDXA] Thanks and Contest Results

[Tim Duffy K3LR]

It has been a quick almost 2 weeks since the OKDXA Banquet. I want to thank
Jerry, K5YAA and the rest of the OKDXA for the friendship, support and
fellowship since moving here 8 years ago. Receiving the Oklahoma DXer of the
Year award just blew me away. The award is prominently mounted in my radio
room in Pennsylvania.

 

I especially want to thank Ed, W5TM who has opened his station for me to use
many times. And to Ken, K5KA who has been a close friend and guiding light
through thick and thin. Also my home club the Edmond Amateur Radio Society
(EARS) with Wendy, W1DY and Andrew, W8OU.

 

As many of you know, I left Oklahoma that next Sunday early morning heading
for the K3LR station to do battle with the mega stations in the Multi Multi
class of CQ WorldWide (phone mode) which is the largest contest on the
planet (over 30,000 Amateur operators make contacts).

 

It was a very intense 5 days of solid work and preparation to host 14
operators for the 48 hour event at K3LR.

 

I am extremely happy to report that we achieved our goal. We are the #1
claimed score in the USA for the 3rd year in a row! You can see that the new
20 meter antenna system REALLY works with 3321 QSOs and 169 countries in 48
hours!

 

Here are the scores from the top 3 USA stations. It shows QSOs, zones and
multipliers worked on the 6 HF contest bands. At the bottom is the total
points in millions.

 

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you soon!
