Here are the official 2021 AM Rally Results.
Notably, the most popular transmitter by number of different operators using this rig is once again - the Icom IC-7300 !! No doubt, that rig produces a very good, communications quality AM signal right out of the box, and the rig is well priced.

It was a great event, as usual !! Congratulations and many thanks to everyone who participated and made this the great event that it was.
And of course, Congratulations to all of our category winners. It's nice to see the wide range of rig types out there, in the different categories and power levels.
A big thanks to Bob WB1GCM who was by himself at W1AW due to Covid, and faced significantly reduced operating hours due to a winter storm that occurred during the event.
