The July issue of CQ Magazine has the results for February's WPX RTTY
contest where a record high of 2080 logs were submitted as well as numerous
record scores.
The Low Power category had a couple of very close finishes. P40R (N4RR) and
D4C (YL2KL) both broke the SOLP world record, with claimed scores less than
one QSO apart! Roger as P40R prevailed due to his lower error rate.
In North America, another close finish occurred with Ted, HI3TEJ, squeaking
by Jose, N1BAA operating as KS1Y. Jose's lower error rate wasn't quite
enough to close the gap, but he blew away the USA SOLP record set by Don,
AA5AU, in 2005 by an incredible 64%. Watch out if Jose turns on his
amplifier! Ted, HI3TEJ, still holds the North America record set in 2008,
just a few percent higher than his and Jose's 2009 results. Unfortunately,
this great story was inadvertently omitted from the magazine article.
Everyone can take pride in the participation record and all the top scores
because it takes all of us to fill up those bulging logs!
