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

[wayne burdick]

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,
N6KR

Hmm,

Looks like N4NN and a bunch of other NA's with 20 band/slots might
have something to say about.

The top seven with 21 are all SA stations, this one also with a K3.
I don't think any of us make any boast about that though, rather
like shooting fish in a barrel from down here (for a change).

Regards,

Mike VP8NP

W6BK is shown at the head of the CQ ZONE 3 tabulations at 18, not USA.

The listings show the max # band slots for USA stations to be at 20.

N4NN,N4BAA,K3ZXL,W6XA,K4XP,K4WZ,AB1V,and N3XX are at 20 for zone 5.
K5RK,W5UN,W5IZ,K8LEE,K5AR,AG9S,N8TR,N0XA,KN50,W4NL are at 20 for zone 4.

I apologize if I left anybody else out.

Be interesting to know the rigs of all the above stations.

Wayne,

No problem...glad to celebrate the "sufferin 6s"  ;>)

The K3's APF feature and excellent adjacent signal rejection allowed me to get a
160 QSO with VP8ORK on Friday night of the 160 contest...with big USA CQ
machines and some awful nearby clix from non K3 rigs.

I do not think this would have been possible without a K3.

73 de al, W5IZ

Thanks for posting this, Al. I didn't realize that W6BK's results were 
tops only in Zone 3.

Congratulations!

I used one of my two K3's for all 20 of my QSO's.  The APF helped on
several CW contacts.
