[CQ-Contest] IARU CW HP Category High Claimed Scores

[ku8e at bellsouth.net]

Did anyone else notice this on the 3830 claimed score listings ? A dead even tie for the 
USA high claimed score for the CW HP category. I can't recall ever seeing this happen before.
It amazes me this could even happen with the different number of points you get (1,3 ,5 points) per QSO and the plus the stations in question are at opposite ends of the coast with totally different propagation.

Congratulations to Dan and Bob. You will be at the mercy of the log checkers ...
