[CQ-Contest] W3LPL and K3LR in CQWW 2020

[Jeff Clarke]

Here are some statistics from the CQWW DX Contest database to put this 
all in perspective. Note this is for USA Multi-Multi entries only.


  * W3LPL did their first CQWW DX SSB Multi-Multi in 1978 and have done
    it every year since then (other than 2014 which they missed)
  * W3LPL did their first CQWW DX CW Multi-Multi in 1979 and have done
    it every year since then.
  * W3LPL first CQWW DX SSB Multi-Multi win was in 1987
  * W3LPL first CQWW DX CW Multi-Multi win was in 1987


  * K3LR did their first CQWW DX SSB Multi-Multi in 1994 and have done
    it every year since then.
  * K3LR did their first CQWW DX CW Multi-Multi in 1994 and have done it
    every year since then.
  * K3LR first CQWW DX SSB Multi-Multi win was in 1998
  * K3LR first CQWW DX CW Multi-Multi win was in 2004


  * Since 1978, which was the first year W3LPL entered CQWW DX SSB
    multi-multi the only stations (other than K3LR) to win this category
    are KC1XX, W2PV, N2AA, N2RM and N5AU
  * Since 1979, which was the first year W3LPL entered CQWW DX CW
    multi-multi the only stations (other than K3LR) to win this category
    are KC1XX, N2RM, K1AR, N2AA and W2PV


  * Since 1994, which was the first year K3LR entered CQWW DX SSB
    multi-multi the only stations (other than W3LPL) to win this
    category are KC1XX and N2RM
  * Since 1994, which was the first year K3LR entered CQWW DX CW
    multi-multi the only stations (other than W3LPL) to win this
    category are KC1XX and N2RM


It's sad to hear these streaks are ending this year due to COVID-19.
