>> Perhaps you noticed our new web page which includes a spiffy new log upload

>> information if you kept a paper log.

>> The preliminary scores were initially posted about 8 minutes after the end

>> arrived. Most scores have increased by 10 percent or more due to the
>> multipliers they get for working LP and QRP stations. For example, the
>> current #1 score from ZF9CW went from 3,953 points up to 4,559 points.
>> Stan certainly had a big signal putting 74 Europeans in his log in addition
>> to 14 Asians. I worked him here in Oregon just after my sunset easily.
>>
>> A new feature in the score listing shows the average distance of the QSOs
>> you made. This was suggested by John, W2GD. It really shows how those
>> further away from Europe and the East Coast of the USA have an advantage to
>> overcome the increased difficulty of making QSOs. The stations in the
