Now that the unofficial results are in for WRTC 2014, and K1A (Craig, N6MJ
and Chris, KL9A) seem to have the #1 spot to themselves, it would seem
that congratulations are in order.
1. First to two fine contest operators who have been climbing in the
rankings!
2. Secondly to youth! Both are in their low thirties . . . maybe they can
stay
awake and alert better than the older guys :)
3. But thirdly, it seems that congratulations to Elecraft are in order! We
do
know they used K3s in Moscow last time (WRTC 2010), and earned the top
US team score; #1 in QSOs and #3 overall. And while I am not certain
about this, according to the video clip below they planned on taking two
K3's with them this time (and a Mk 5 as a handicap :)
See the following video interview clip from DX Engineering:
http://youtu.be/OppRRdLfB6o
Intended equipment is mentioned around 5 minutes 30 seconds into the
interview.
While I worked several of the WRTC contest stations on different bands,
I did not work K1A, so it is obvious they won on strategy :) Don't waste
time with US causal operators :)
