Tonno,
Yeah, I know, I know. I blew it. I pulled the WRTC summary sheet up about
3am as I was about to go to bed and was half asleep.
Thanks for the explanation of the Most Accurate Log award. However you slice
it, your 1.5% error rate, PW5I's 1.3% (ZS4TC/N2IC) and PT5Qs (W2SC/K5ZD)
1.6% are exceptional. Congratulations!
...and to everyone who was so quick to point out my oversight, you missed
the point entirely. These men and women did an amazing job...
Hope to see you at UA3 in 2010!
73, Mark, K9GX

>>I was just looking over the WRTC results and it struck me what excellent
>>"performers" the members of the 46 teams truly are.
>> It's incredible to realize that even the 46th place team made over 4,000
>> QSOs in 24 hours! What I find is even more amazing is the astoundingly
>> low error rates. PW5I (ZS4TC/N2IC) finished with an astonishing 1.3%

>> If you haven't yet done so, I urge you to find a copy of the final

>> Scan the "errors" column. Wow! I wonder if there was a "lowest UBN"

>> While it's a bit trite, I must say "congratulations" to the 92 World
>> Class operators, the referees who had to endure the IARU without making a
>> single Q and PY5EG and his excellent crew for what must have been an

>> If I ever have the misfortune to be in an emergency situation where

>> 73 and thanks for the bandwidth,
