[CQ-Contest] K0SR Vindicated (Was "2024 ARRL DX CW Raw Scores - Is the LP Winner from MO - REALLY?)

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, there used to be a time when 
conditions were just right that stations in the West had a fleeting 
chance to win a DX contest.  This was the time when you could run JA's 
for hours and hours.  That ship sailed long ago.

It will be curious to hear the rest of this story.
