I think very few stations in the USA will ever achieve a 300 hour in any
DX contest. I've only ever seen it happen once myself (K1AR and N3GJ running
10 meters at K3LR in the 2004 CQWW Phone contest with two interlocked
stations) and I seriously doubt anyone has ever had a 300 hour in a DX
contest from the USA on 40 meters phone. Look at the rate sheets of K3LR
in the DX contests, and you'll see even they almost never break 100 QSOs
an hour on 40 meters, let alone _300_: http://k3lr.com/History/
