Browsing through the soapbox comments at the 3830 Reflector at
www.contesting.com is about the only way to find out rigs/antennas vs
scores.
A guy did pull out all the Soapbox comments separated from the score
announcements at the following link:

Be interesting to know what antennas/rigs/power the leaders were using.
Is there a web site that covers this?

Sounds like everyone was putting their K2's through the paces over the
weekend.
I only got a chance to play for about 45 minutes in the ARRL 160M contest
with 75Q's and 29 sections at 5W to a dipole at 30 ft.
But last weekend in the CQWW running 100W I broke the old SOSB/80/LP
record
for the 2nd call area and N2WN broke the national and 4th call area
records
in the same category. Both of us were using K2/100's.
Great little radios that let you slide up along side a 40 over 9 big gun
CQ'ing and work the faint DX 500 Hz away!
