Comments:
Congratulations to the K3LR and NR4M teams for their excellent results
in this challenging competition. In many respects each of us operated
in a different contest. The several hundred miles between us
-- especially the north-south distance -- has surprisingly strong
propagation affects especially as we approach the bottom of the
sunspot cycle making it impossible for us to compete on a level
playing field.
At W3LPL we benefited from longer openings to Europe on every band
except 10 meters. That produced 340 more QSOs to Europe and ten common
European multipliers on 15 meters that were unavailable to K3LR.
K3LR enjoyed better propagation to Japan especially on 20 meters, but
their 120 additional contacts to Japan couldn't make up for our
longer openings to Europe.
This was our 39th consecutive multi-multi entry in the ARRL CW DX
Contest and our 49th consecutive ARRL CW DX Contest entry overall.
