Hi Folks,
>From OI2HQ point of view the U.S. main consultants to
reach the succes might be:
K1CC, K1EA, K9GX, N2NC, N6TV & W2GD ..
Thanks for your participation Rich, Ken, Mark, John, Bob & John.
For me, this was The Once-In-a-Lifetime opportunity to orchestrate this kind of
a team of the Luciano Pavarottis of the Ham World to something seemingly nobody
expected.
OI2HQ claimed so far is 18.588.591Mpoints, with
427 mult, 12395 QSO.
Band QSO Qpoints points/QSO Z HQ
160 239 599 2.51 7 19
80 1102 2714 2.46 24 29
40 1929 5807 3.01 37 38
20 5061 19355 3.82 54 50
15 3152 12338 3.91 57 52
10 912 2720 2.98 28 32
---------------------------------------------------
Totals 12395 43533 3.51 207 220
This is not necessarily our final claimed as there is still
a potential issue in a log that may bring us more QSOs.
Computer networks can do anything !

There are at least 2 European HQ stations within a couple of per cent in the
score.
Log checking will be as exciting in this one as was for WRTC!
..despite The WRTC was more intense & fast & real life with just 30 hours after
contest top ten publication..
73,
Jukka, OH6LI,
PS. QRV this weekend atop Geta Mountain, OH0V location as OH0JJS.
Mainly 10104 kHz.
