The CTDXCC sponsored the Second Annual CW Pileup Competition at the Austin Summerfest amateur radio convention. Chuck NO5W's software for real-time management and display of the competition, all wirelessly networked from four laptops in an adjacent testing room, worked flawlessly and provided a real spectator experience for the audience gathered in an adjacent conference room. The list of calls used in the creation of the contest "tape" (actually a WAV file) by Tom N0SS of the Kansas City DX Club was provided by Richard K5NA. As he does in creating the official Dayton competition audio file, Tom again took no prisoners with the Summerfest 2009 edition. Gary W5ZL's winning score of 51 (out of the 100 calls in the test) took the grand prize, a Begali Graciella, Jr. gold paddle donated by Pietro Begali. Marv N5AW was a close second with 49 call signs, winning a highly sought after Rohn tower catalog donated by WB0W. Bob W9BF, one of two competitors who chose to go the paper rather than computer logging route, walked away with ARRL Mini Logs also donated by WB0W.
