4F1RWW | MSH | We had been strongly hit by bad luck this time and operated more for fun at the end not serious any more. The 1000MP lost it's display, a lightening stroke in the tower, no damage good grounding. |
4N1SM | SA LP 10M | Bad propagations, for the first time I had to use DX cluster |
6Y8A | MSH | It was fun to be neck and neck in QSO's with HC8N! Too bad we were in a "half point" country |
8S5X | MM | All yagi's mounted on a single 42 meter rotating tower. Using only 1 direction for all yagi's caused some fights between the operators |
AI7B | SO HP ALL | Condx sucked, especially 10M. No way to compete from the NW! Participation seemed down..is this the beginning of the end for CW contests?? |
C4A | SO HP ALL | While trying to break my 1992 P31A record, I broke my Schurr paddle instead |
CO8ZZ | SO LP 80M | Super bad DX conditions during all the contest on 80 meters! |
DK5AD | SO HP ALL | Excellent CONDX! Never thought I could make over 1K QSOs and over 1M points with vertical antennas |
DL/K3TW/M | SO QRP 20M | I had a great time working the USA from my bycycle mobile station |
DU7MHA | SO LP ALL | Great contest/great fun, good condx and worked all states. Thanks for the wonderful WPX contest. Special tnx to my XYL 4F7MHN, for keeping the coffees coming. |
F5PBL | SO LP ALL | I had a lot of fun!! Tnx a lot! |
F6IIE | SO LP 10M | Ten is always great fun if you can enter only for a few hours in the contest. |
F6JSZ | SO LP ALL | A fine contest as usual. Lots of interesting DX to work (new ones galore!). However, propagation with the East coast of the US wasn't as productive as it usually is. |
G0MTN | SO LP 10M | Someone has stolen 10m and replaced it with another band! |
G3LHJ | SO QRP 20M | Condx not so good this year. Found it hard going on QRP for the DX, but all good fun and picked up a few new QRP countries. |
G3OOU | SO LP ALL | This really is the best contest of the year with plenty to work. The bands were better than last year with most bands showing activity through the night. |
G3TXF | SO HP ALL | Madness or what? Arrived home on the Saturday morning from Australia after a three-week absence on a DX-pedition to Wallis (FW) and immediately dived into 17 hours of activity in the WPX CW Contest |
G3ZRJ | SO HP ALL | Who stole the ionosphere this year?? |
G6QQ | SO LP ALL | Spent about same time as last year (13 hrs) but score not quite as good. More mults but fewer QSO's and not so many from USA nor from 40. |
GM4HQF | SO QRP ALL | I have trouble working Western Russia, Glapagos Isl no problem! |
IH9/OL5Y | SO LP ALL | My first LP expedition. I like it! Much less equipment, no power generator, much less weight, and lot of fun! Everyone should think about it. |
IK4MTF | SO HP ALL | Propagation very good, specially in the fist day. Thanks a lot to my YL Donna for help during the contest |
IS0/YO3RA | SO HP 40M | Wanted to go far, but my computer had a different opinion. |
IT9BLB | SA HP 15M | I had less than 16 hours to enjoy the contest but it's always a must in the calendar! |
JE1REU | SO LP ALL | My first experience worked 36 hours. I enjoyed this contest very much |
JE1SPY | SO LP 160M | On 1 April our JA amateurs became able to use 1810-1825 KHz. I call CQ on 1810 during sunrise time of the USA west coast but I could not QSO any stations and not hear any. I could hear AI7B & WL7E on 80m band but I could not hear them on 160. |
JH4UYB | SO HP ALL | Although condx was not so good, I have broken my JA record. |
JQ1UXN | SO LP ALL | I enjoyed WPX CW as well as WPX SSB contest very much. I will take part in WPX contests next year. |
K0OU | SO HP ALL | T-storms during weekend created havoc and made 80 & 160 useless. The other bands were ok altho 10 didn't open up for us west of the Mississippi. The Europeans on 10 Saturday morning sounded the same whether beaming direct or skewed path over Africa. |
K1JT/2 | SO LP ALL | First WPX contest ever - great fun! Should have paid more attention to the rules before starting; would have spent more time on the low bands |
K4WI | SO HP 10M | Even though propagation was poor, I was able to run EU Saturday until 2200 GMT but no JA's from here. Sunday was really slow but I had fun anyway. Thanks everyone |
K5RX | SO HP ALL | Worse than last year - didn't finish antenna work until nearly 4 hours after contest start! Storm fried lightning protector and damaged relays on tower necessitating nighttime tower climb |
K7AW | MSH | Oh to be in the Caribbean again running 10 meters!! |
KB1H | MSH | This was a very light effort. Basically "hey can I come play radio for a while?" was asked by a few of the regular barnstormers. |
KC7JEF/MM | SO LP ALL | Operated near Iran |
KE9EX | SO LP ALL | OH0, E41, TZ6 & OD5 - pretty good for casual contesting. |
KG5U | SO QRP ALL | Fun! Fun! Fun! But, lot's of room for improvement on my part!! As usual. |
KH6ND | SO HP 10M | North-south was working, east-west wasn't. Very very slow from here |
KJ9C | SO LP ALL | Just for fun. A few hours between house/yard chores and Indy 500. Mostly S&P |
KN7Y | SO LP ALL | The anticipation was for better conditions and a higher score, but I was barely able to hold onto a score close to last year's! |
KT0R | SO HP ALL | Great contest. Always enjoy this one. |
KV8Q | SO LP 40M | U was hard to come by, especially the first night. One KH6, one VK and that was all from the Pacific. But wait, there's always next year! |
KW9DX | MSH | K7BV and K9ZO got together for a warm up for WRTC. K9SD was an excellent host. Conditions were very noisy on 20 at night and we had to QRT due to thunderstorms. |
KY5N | SO LP 15M | Almost all QSO's were search and pounce |
L99D | SO HP ALL | Thanks to LU7DW, LU6EBY, LU9DMC. Operated from my father's workshop in the middle of the city. Too much line and car transit noise, and very limited space, couldn't use computer logging due to this. Still had fun as always |
LW8EXF | SO LP ALL | I work with 100 watts and multiband vertical training my self for WRTC. |
LY2OX | SO HP ALL | I've got two targets, make over 2K QSO and 3M points. First was achieved, as good 10m sporadic opening second day helped to make cheap but quick QSO's; but worse than normal propagation to USA especially 15m second day killed my 3M target. |
M0O | SO QRP ALL | Thanks again to everyone who I managed to work. Beat my number of QSO's this time. |
M4T | SO LP 20M | The best contest I have entered since I have been licensed. |
N2CU | SO LP ALL | Chores + no amp + bad condx + no time = my score |
