K3WWSO QRP ALLCasual QRP effort gone wrong..first few hours were just too good
K4CBWSO LP ALLFirst licensed as KN4QQI on Nov 21, 2018
K4XLSO LP 40MJust a part time entry for the club. I normally run HP, but decided to go LP just for fun. I quickly discovered that search and pounce running LP on 40 with QRN to be tough. I had much better luck running
K5KUASO LP ALLSorry for the delay in submitting my log. I just opened the . If possible and not too late, I would like a downloaded certificate. 73 - Thanks Joe Gibson K5KUA
K5LHChecklogCheck log only, not in contest
K5RXSO HP ALLNo use of spotting networks (although no unassisted class anymore) decreased score but increased fun
K5TUSO LP ALLPart time effort, all S & P. Severe weather ran me out of the shack twice
K6CSLSO LP ALLSol is definitely improving!
K6NRSO HP ALLPropagation on 10 meters was minimal, on 15 quite a bit better but not great, but boy did 20 meters make up for them both. It stayed up later than I could. I spent minimal time on 80m, a little more on 40, but my local noise is a killer. I did complete 'Worked 6 Bands ND7K and NR6O' however. Really enjoyed the contest, thanks to everyone for the QSOs. Dana Station: K3 - KPA1500, 1200 watts or so 4L 20meter @ 60 feet, 5L 15 meter @ 48??????, 5L 10 meter @48?????? 40 meter 4 Square, 80 meter top loaded vertical
K6POSO LP ALL100W + 100' wire
K7HPSO HP ALLNoticed I qualify for Classic -so old man 86 wants to resubmit
K7XCSO LP 15MRadio lost power after a few hours so stopped to diagnose the problem and never returned to the contest
K8GLSO HP 20MThanks you for the fun time! Conditions were both bad but mostly good here in northern Michigan. There were a lot of prefixes to be worked. Unfortunately K8 is not that rare
K8LFSO HP ALLGlad to see lots of 15M band activity. 15M was not a great amount of DX but good to see so many stations on 15M. Did not make any contacts on 10M and never got to 80M. Should have spent more time in the chair. Swapped out the one KPA-500 for a spare KPA-500. Need to trouble shoot why the SWR input on one of the PKA-500s is high. Worked two fellow PVRC menbers, one of which was at VP5M
K8LXSO HP ALLStarted out all S&P, but later on couldn't resist plopping down on a clear channel now and then for an hour or so. Ended up with ~400 run QSO's. Fun contest, might be more serious the next time
K8TSSO HP ALLBANDS IN GREAT SHAPE-20 OPEN ALL NITE-HIGEST PERSONAL SCORE

KI8ISO LP ALLFun again. Wish I could have worked the whole contest but life got in the way. Wife's birthday party on Saturday and church on Sunday. Ran IC-7300 at 100 Watts into either a 160 meter doublet up only 20 feet around my small city lot and a K4KIO Hex Beam at 20 feet. But got some new DX contacts and maybe even a new state or two. Best 73 to and stay well, Dave, KI8I
KJ4KPWSO LP ALLMy first time going for it in a contest like this, had a great time!
