I think it is interesting how many older rigs were used - oldies, but
goodies. I contest and do special events with a guy who would populate
the whole contest shack with TS-850s if he could. Seems like Rick once
said the Germany contest crowd like that model, also.
Interesting that 5 of the 6 radios used by the top three teams were
ICOMs. Guess we cannot count them out of the game any more than any
other mfr, although I see no Flex or other brand SDRs on the list.
Also, I see a pair of Orion II in the field - used by W4UH, and AD4Z
(who owns a K3) - interesting he used an Orion II for the big event.
Makes me proud to own one. (heavy sigh... sniff...) ;-)
All in good fun. All good radios. All good operators.
I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO KNOW THE LIST OF CODE KEYS USED in the contest. I
am sure that list is far more varied!

I'd heard that some of the 7600s were loaned by Icom. That's
unconfirmed. The team of AD4Z and W4UH (W1T) used the Orions.
