Re: [Elecraft] W6BK's #1 effort in working VP8ORK: 18 of 21 band/slots (Elecraft K3 both ways)
Eric, David is first only in CQ Zone 3 part of U.S. There are 8 stations with 20 count in CQ Zone 5 part of U.S. and 10 stations with 20 count in CQ Zone 4 part of U.S. I am sure many of these stations used K3 to work VP8ORK. 73, Igor, N1YX - Original Message - From: Wayne Burdick n...@elecraft.com To: Elecraft Reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, February 9, 2011 1:04:08 PM Subject: [Elecraft] W6BK's #1 effort in working VP8ORK: 18 of 21 band/slots(Elecraft K3 both ways) We'd like to congratulate David Elliot, W6BK, who led all other U.S. stations in VP8ORK band/slot count, with 18.

Hi Igor, Yes, I just realized this. Thanks for the correction. I'm not sure which of the stations in other zones had K3s. I can attest to the fact that it's harder from Zone 3 :) 73, Wayne N6KR On Feb 9, 2011, at 10:54 AM, k.i...@comcast.net wrote: Eric, David is first only in CQ Zone 3 part of U.S. There are 8 stations with 20 count in CQ Zone 5 part of U.S. and 10 stations with 20 count in CQ Zone 4 part of U.S. I am sure many of these stations used K3 to work VP8ORK. 73, Igor, N1YX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Hmm, Looks like N4NN and a bunch of other NA's with 20 band/slots might have something to say about. The top seven with 21 are all SA stations, this one also with a K3. I don't think any of us make any boast about that though, rather like shooting fish in a barrel from down here (for a change).

W6BK is shown at the head of the CQ ZONE 3 tabulations at 18, not USA. The listings show the max # band slots for USA stations to be at 20. N4NN,N4BAA,K3ZXL,W6XA,K4XP,K4WZ,AB1V,and N3XX are at 20 for zone 5. K5RK,W5UN,W5IZ,K8LEE,K5AR,AG9S,N8TR,N0XA,KN50,W4NL are at 20 for zone 4. I apologize if I left anybody else out.

Wayne, No problem...glad to celebrate the sufferin 6s ;) The K3's APF feature and excellent adjacent signal rejection allowed me to get a 160 QSO with VP8ORK on Friday night of the 160 contest...with big USA CQ machines and some awful nearby clix from non K3 rigs. I do not think this would have been possible without a K3. 73 de al, W5IZ From: Wayne Burdick n...@elecraft.com To: Al Baker w...@yahoo.com Sent: Wed, February 9, 2011 2:42:53 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] W6BK's #1 effort in working VP8ORK: 18 of 21 band/slots (Elecraft K3 both ways) Thanks for posting this, Al.
