[NCC] Congratulations to W2FU & Team

[Hal Offutt]

Hello,

Congratulations are in order for the fantastic performance of the W2FU 
team in the recent NAQP CW.  Based on claimed scores, Jeff's ops took 
back the number one spot in the M2 competition after losing it to the 
guys at K5RM in January 2019.  Last year K5RM ended up with 2,398 
contacts, nearly 200 more than the W2FU guys. Jeff's ops found a couple 
more multipliers (267 vs. 263) but that was not enough to overcome the 
Arkansas-based K5RM lead.  This year, W2FU is still slightly behind on 
the Q count (2,131 vs 2,168) but 16 extra mults puts them ahead by 
554,060 to 533,328 (claimed).  Here are their numbers and a list of 
operators from 3830:

Our best team looks to be in 14th place this year.  Last January, our 
top team was in 13th place.  We have some formidable competition from 
the west, southwest and deep south, but we have made the top ten before 
and I'm sure we can do it again.

73 for now,
