[PVRCNC] IARU-Grasshoppered!

[Keith Zeringue]

Looking over the IARU scores database for 2006, I see that Nate, 
operating as NR3X, did very well in the Single-op Mixed Mode, Low Power 
category.

NR3X
#9 worldwide
#2 USA

He was beaten out only by K1XM, who had fewer QSO's but more mults.
My own piddly little 373 Q's(about 25 percent of Nate's Q total) would 
only have been good enough for another scrap of IARU wall paper if Nate 
had gone fishing instead operating.

Also, Howie, operating "NY4A" as Single Op-CW Only, High Power kicked 
butt too.

NY4A
#12 Worldwide
#2 USA  (outdone only by K1TO in Florida)
and also #6 USA overall(which includes both Headquarters and Multi 
stations)

Coolness.  Way to go gents.  Go PVRC!

For folks who enjoy contesting, this is a really fun event, even 
casually.  It is doubly fun for us folks who enjoy mixed modes, but you 
can also operate as CW or SSB only, so there really is something in it 
for everyone.  I actually made well over half of my QSO's on CW rather 
than SSB.

If you have time and inclination, give it a shot this July.  The log 
database show 700+ US logs submitted versus 2800+ worldwide.  Thar be DX 
to be logged--when the static crashes allow!
