Damn Charles your reading comprehension needs work
I never said at all anything about Elecraft and even said I own 3 - K3s
in my station
Get a life.
Merv,
I am curious. If you think K3’s are “losers” then why are you on the Elecraft
Reflector message board in the first place?

I agree Paul, and my comment was to play the stats in jest.
when the glass is half full you can see it from both sides,
I did that to stir the Elecraft kool aide crew.
Having contested many many years in my past life, I dont own
3 - K3 radios because they are losers, and nope I am not in the
class of any one who qualifies for WRTC. not even close,
and at 75 I am not progressing any longer, I am on the slipping
side of downhill.

Now we entering the arena of stats can tell you whatever you want them to tell
you!
In fairness only one of the top teams was a US team (I think) and 3 of the top
15 were US. Maybe radio choice for the Europeans is more to do with ICOM et al
possibly having a more direct sales and support presence in EU versus Elecraft
which is via local distributors and possibly requiring the gear to return to
Cal for repair. Just a guess ....
I think the WRTC leader role for the Boston/NE one had more US teams placing.
I’m sure a story exists around home team advantage.
I can only reiterate that anyone who participates in WRTC has to be pretty
awesome and I wish I had 1% of their skills!!
Stats are fun.

SO lets see, we are saying that 50 percent used Elecraft, and out of the top
3 no one did,
and most who used Elecraft were in the bottom.
So was it the radio or the operator?
If you look at it from one point of view, loosers used Elecraft..
Merv K9FD, and I own 3 - k3 radios so not biased.
Wasn't my subject line. But I'll see your four and raise it to five: Elecraft,
Flex, Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu.

FWIW. I took a cursory look at the top 10 to see what they were using.
You have to get to 5th place to find a pair of K3s. Sixth and 7th places
use
one K3 and something else for the second radio.
So four out of 20 radios were K3s.
Also of interest 6 out of 10 used WinTest with 4 using N1MM+.
