Göran,

[It is very hard to win the contest from VY1 -- not enough prop, must have
a huge station.
I did win the Canadian Division one year (CW), which I was very happy
with.  It was when J, VY1JA
still had his quad up, a 40m vertical, and low wires  for the low bands.

VY1CO is a world class station compared to it.

Here's an ARRL DX I did from there with some nice EU sigs:
