That's why it should be CW only. So the ops can't be identified and the
cheerleaders can't spot their team endlessly.

Looking only at top ten finishers fails to appreciate the importance
of operator experience with propagation from the operating region.
THAT'S a large part of why EU ops are so strongly represented at the top.
There are other factors. A competitor friend (who placed in the top
third of the pack) told me yesterday that the top scoring team, from
Lithuania, had something like 250 unique LY QSOs in their log that
were not penalized, and that removing those Qs would have greatly
reduced their lead over second and third place. He said they also had
QSOs removed for exchange errors that were clearly copied and logged
correctly based on their recording.

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.
