I had the top score in the 2016 WPX 40MSOLP for the 4th call area and would
have been the WRTC standard in my region. But instead of the max points, I
received60 points for my single band effort and since i ran low power, I
received even fewer points. It is what it is... I'm OK, I'll see y'all on
40m!
