Re: W6BK's #1 effort in working VP8ORK: 18 of 21 band/slots (Elecraft K3 both ways)

Eric,



David is first only in CQ Zone 3 part of U.S. There are 8 stations with 20 count in CQ Zone 5 part of U.S. and 10 stations with 20 count in CQ Zone 4 part of U.S.

I am sure many of these stations used K3 to work VP8ORK.

Subject: [Elecraft] W6BK's #1 effort in working VP8ORK: 18 of 21 band/slots        (Elecraft K3 both ways)

We'd like to congratulate David Elliot, W6BK, who led all other U.S.  
stations in VP8ORK band/slot count, with 18. David used his K3, and  
the VP8ORK effort used seven K3s. (Some EU stations worked them on all  
21 band/slots, but I don't have any information on these stations  
beyond that.)

David emailed us about his effort:

"The APF was particularly effective....The K3/P3 combination was  
superb. It really shines when things get 'down and dirty' as they  
often did on this DXpedition."

Note: Band/slot count is a combination of bands and modes. If you're  
interested in seeing how other stations did, go to

   http://www.clublog.org/charts/?c=VP8ORK# 

and type in a callsign. If you click on on a red link in the line that  
says "Leaderboard," you'll see the top 100 stations in a particular  
zone or country.

73,
Wayne,

Hi Igor,

Yes, I just realized this. Thanks for the correction. I'm not sure  
which of the stations in other zones had K3s.

I can attest to the fact that it's harder from Zone 3 :)
