Bob, I put together my own list, but only looked at the top 10 finishers.

Among the top 10 finishers, there were 7 Yaesus, 6 Icoms, 4 Elecrafts, and 3 Kenwoods.

Also, among the top 10 finishers, 6 of them used Wintest and 4 used N1MM Logger+.

One of my elmers points out that doing well in this event has a lot more to do with the skill of the operators than the tools they are using. He also points out that slight differences in propagation and the noise level at each site are also a factor.

This elmer goes on to say that in any ham population with a large concentration of Europeans, you will find less interest in Elecraft and N1MM Logger+.

Does a 200 watt radio running at 100 watts provide more "talk power" on phone than a 100 watt radio? Boy, I don't know. If that's true, then further defining the power limits may be something for the organizers to look at.

Bob...
