There was a period of anticipation but it appears that the Vraka Men, aka Stavros 5B4AFM/M0BBB, Marios 5B4WN/G0WWW, have suffered a serious problem with their Vrakas and have not entered a score. (I believe there was some kind of conflicting station use that kept them off the air and waving their Vrakas in frustration.) Having given them every opportunity to send in the score, the official results are hereby entered into the record of Contest History...

Overall winner - ON5ZO, The Belgian HF Devils (LP) - 610,200
US winner - N5DO, Poor Boys from Way West Texas - 592,059

Congrats to the Belgian HF Devils who ascend to world-wide supremacy after two valiant efforts in 2003 and 2004! The Poor Boys from Way West Texas also successfully defended their US championship in a repeat win.

Should conditions have been better, I think team Sleepless in Seattle might have made things hot for the Poor Boys!

"My teammate (r) and the referee (l) sure enjoyed the sunny weekend away from home very much! 73 de Pasi & The Puppets

The repeat teams (M4A, OT4R, OK1NR) all increased their scores significantly over 2003. Even though we had lower sunspots this year, conditions were much better on the high bands. Congratulations to the Vraka Men - Reloaded for claiming the top spot over last year's winner, OT4R. Whatever it is that they loaded into their Vrakas must be powerful, indeed!
