[CQ-Contest] ARRL DX CW Reports

[Eric Scace K3NA]

 Just to confuse matters on 80m, W1KM's station operated under the callsign "K1XM" this year.  (I understand this is because Paul
has a QSL manager...)  The operators were:

10/160m:  Eric K3NA
15m:  Greg W1KM
20m:  Al W1JF
40m:  Dennis NB1B
80m:  Paul K1XM

We were multi-multi and had a blast (except for when Paul had to climb a tower to unfreeze a 15m rotator in +3°F weather Sunday
morning!).

  Hi All....

  If you were wondering why all of a sudden KU8E was so loud on 80 meters
during the contest this past weekend ????  Well it wasn't because I put up
a new antenna !!! I was giving the NQ4I station a test drive by doing an 80 meter single band effort. Rick is rebuilding his station
and John, K4BAI operated 15 meters as W4KZ and Ian, K5ZM came all the way from Oregon to do 20 meter SB as NQ4I, along with my
effort.

 I was using an FT1000MP running a KW to a four square. Because the station is still under construction I didn't have any beverages.
I sure could of used them on Saturday night with all the rain static. Friday night was real quite as was the last hour on Sunday
night. I apologize to those of you I heard in there that I couldn't pull through !! I do have to say this is the most fun I have had
on 80 meters. This was the first station that I have acually been able to run EU from on 80. I think my best hour was a 65/hr or so
on Friday night. I also had some great DX like 4X,5B,C31 come back to my CQ's. This was also the first time I can recall working all
the EU Russian countries on a single band in a DX contest. About 10 JA's an a couple UA0's went into the log as well.
Rick has plans in the future for a 3 el yagi so it's going to be even better next time....

 I would be interested in getting some signal reports from anyone who recalls working me. I would be interested in heard how far
down we were from W1MK and KC1XX ??? Also, congratulations to W1MK... I think he has won 80SB on CW for about 10 straight years now
!!!
