We expected the K2 in top position this time. But it still is sharing the 
second place still behind the leading QRP+ with the Sierra, which has been 
the most used "real" QRP rig, just in front of the HW-9. 
The HW-8 dropped back. But the "methusalem" HW-7 had a double entry, which 
could not be managed by many of those new monobanders like Ten-Tec 1340 etc.,
which often appears in advertising and articles but not so often on the air.

A consequence of the present dollars exchange rate ? This might also be the 
reason for the succes of the "german creatives" like DL9QM ("Mini"), the 
QRP-14 crew from Ulm, DJ3KK with his ELBCs and DL5JYN with the QRP-3.

Again the different "Argonauts" are making clear the contribution and merits
of Ten-Tec to QRP. 

And the species HB = homebrewing in its variety is alive as before. 
Three cheers!
