[CQ-Contest] Re: CQ-Contest Digest, Vol 11, Issue 62

Sun Nov 23 16:52:18 EST 2003

Did anyone hear how KH7X did in the CW SS? My friend
at work claimed he heard him giving out a number in the
1700's on Sunday. I worked him early on (22:41 UTC on
Saturday) and he seemed to be doing well (213 QSOs),
but a lot can happen in 28 hours (I don't think he posted
his score to 3830).
