[CQ-Contest] Results of CTDXCC CW Pileup Competition

[Kenneth E. Harker]

     The Central Texas DX and Contest Club (CTDXCC) hosted the second 
annual CW Pileup Competition at the Austin Summerfest amateur radio 
convention last weekend in Austin, Texas.  The competition was based on 
a pileup file provided by Tom N0SS of the Kansas City DX Club, and the 
competition was the same basic format as the KCDXC Dayton Hamvention CW 
Pileup Competitions: 100 call signs sent in about 4 minutes.  Chuck NO5W 
wrote custom software to allow computer logging by competitors and a 
real-time scoreboard (set up in another room via wireless networking)
for spectators.  It was a fun competition.  Here are the results:

     The winner, Gary W5ZL, will be one of seven Americans traveling to 
Obzor, Bulgaria this September to compete in the Ninth IARU High Speed 
Telegraphy World Championships.  This is the first year that an IARU 
Region II country will send a multi-person team to the world 
championships:
