I'm not
much for the idea of a "wires" category, but if there was a "wires" category
it might need to specify single half-waves, or a maximum amount of wire in
the antenna in terms of wavelength. Or something.
The normalizing of contest performance per wavelength of antenna can give
cool results. Though not strictly a "wire", in the 2005 Michigan QSO Party I
had the NA 10 minute rate timer peak at 223/hr on 80 meter CW using a seven
foot long HamStick mobile antenna. In terms of wavelength, that was over 8000
qsos per hour per wavelength of antenna.
Eat your hearts out, M/M operators!
