Comments:
DX contesting has changed enormously since my first USA #1 finish exactly forty
years ago as a single operator low power entry in the 1964 ARRL CW DX
Competition, a 96 hour DX contest. I was a seventeen year old high school
student.
The 1964 K1LPL score was 278 QSOs and 133 countries in 40 hours of operating. I
had only eight QSOs in my first six hours of operating! QSO quotas applied to
each country created an emphasis on DXing rather than running QSOs from Europe
and Japan. By contrast, the USA single operator high power winner in 1964 was
W3GRF with 757 QSOs in 80 hours of operating and the multi-multi winner was
W3MSK with only 1037 QSOs!
Interesting callsigns in my 1964 log included 5A1TW, 5A3TX, 6O6BW, F2MA, G2QT,
G3FXB, G3POI, G4CP, MP4QBF, OZ1W, PA0LOU, ST2AR, TI2PZ, VQ2AB, ZB1RM, ZD3A,
ZE3JJ.
It would be ten more years before my next #1 USA finish, as a single operator
high power entry in the 1974 ARRL CW DX Contest and another 11 years before my
first #1 USA finish as a multi/multi entry in the 1985 ARRL CW DX Contest.
Special thanks to the W3LPL operators for another great weekend of multi/multi
CW DX contesting! Here are our 2004 ressults:
