KO0ASO HP 20M20 meters may be my favorite band - glad to see good conditions for the contest!
KO4DNSO HP ALLHad a great time in the contest
KP2MSO HP ALLSingle Radio Unassisted mode. Last year, was my first ever remote operation. I was limited to a single Skyhawk tribander and XM240. This year I was in St. Croix so I used two stackmatches to quickly change direction or double beam. It added many Qsos... my bet is about 300, possibly more. 15m was much better than last year too
KP3WSO LP 10MNot good propagation on 10m to the Caribbean. Deep QSB and many of the few QSOs made with almost no signal
KQ2MSO HP ALLYAY Cycle 25! Great to see so much worldwide CW activity and to have such good propagation to enjoy it with! I used just one radio and one amp NON-Assisted in this contest. Thanks for all the qso's and the mults! 73 Bob, KQ2M
KR2QSO HP ALLSOMEHOW, I USED 42 MINUTES TOO MUCH TIME FOR CLASSIC. MY PLAN WAS TO GO TO 40M FOR THE LAST 3 HOURS OF THE CONTEST. BUT THE 40M HAD A TERRIBLE SWR. SO I STAYED ON 20M. AT LEAST I WAS STILL ON THE AIR
KR7OSO HP ALLMoved to the Classic category for the first time due to the unwanted elimination of the Unassited categories
KS7TSO HP ALL572BS aren't made for a lot of contesting and after one got gassy in my 811HD after some 400 qs finished up with the 811As in my spare AL 811 but only 3 tubes in there were good and still got over 500 more qs to get the best score ever but tried hard to crack 1k but fell 23 short thanks to weird cndx and 15m dead
KT6VMSHRemote operation with Tom, K2GO operating from COVID Isolation hotel in Seoul, South Korea. The Internet from HL to W4 was amazing. He ran at 34 WPM +
KU8ESO HP 20MCLASSIC and TB-WIRES overlay. Form will only allow one
KV8QSO LP ALLHad a great plan and it was working. Then, a phone call cut this contest short for me. That's how life goes sometimes. It's all about priorities. I'll use the same plan next year. Thanks - 73 tom Rig = TenTec Eagle @ 100 Watts Antenna = Mag Loop (40 thru 15) and an Isotron-80 in the attic 12' above garage floor and an indoor 10 meter dipole
KW8NSO HP ALLJumped on the air a few times in the afternoons and evening and found conditions outstanding to Europe
KX4KUSO LP ALLReally like this contest - just wish I had more time to participate! Thank you CQ. 73
KX7LSO LP ALLBetween the holiday weekend, and trying to bring a new amplifier online, not too many hours in the chair this time. Had fun though! Thanks for the QSOs!
KX7MSO HP 40MOriginal plan was MS like last year but we cannot make PC networking so changed last minutes. There were some internet problem for several hours on Saturday, otherwise propagation and activity level were fair. 73 Kazu M0CFW, MJ5Z, JK3GAD
KY0OSO LP ALLHad late start due to needed to replace bad antenna, but tons of fun. Looking forward to future runs
KZ3WSO HP ALLSorry this is late, but I just got out of hospital
LA3NGASO QRP 20MHad a fantastic evening (Saturday) when NA was wide open to a poor QRP-guy. KX3 @ 4.8W and trapped vertical. Some people got great ears, some have a too big PA... lol Thanks for making this happen!
LA7THAChecklogWas running remote in my car on a marginal 4G netwrok
LB6RH/PSO QRP ALLOperated off-grid from a nearby mountain top. KX3 + DX-Commander with 10m, 20m and 40m wires. Thanks for the QSOs and the patience to get those weak s ignals into the log
LT5VSO HP 40MNICE PROPAGATION, ANY ANY STATION FRON EUROPE AND JAPAN !! EXCELENT CONTEST ENJOY !!

LU1DZSO HP ALLWWSA CONTEST - Second weekend of June of every year. http://www.contest.com.ar/
LU1VYLSO LP 10MLICENCIA 27/03/2019
LW5HRChecklogQuite poor conditions over here, at least the first hours, unfortunately, I had to stop the contest very early thanks all for the QSO's
LY0NASSO QRP ALLFirst licensed from 2019-10-30 Hermes-Lite2 5W, EFHW 38.5m, 6.2m, 4.8m wires from balcony at 8 floor
LY5GSO QRP ALLTS-590 set to 5W, 3 dipoles, 4 square GP (40m), Mosley TA-63N
LY73BBMDThis MM Distributed operation was dedicated to the long time LY7A team member Rimgaudas LY3BB, who left us just before CQ WPX SSB contest. Rest in peace, dear teammate, we will always remember you
LY9ASO QRP ALLConstantly increasing number of chinese goodies in the neighbourhood makes very heavy noise on the bands. This forcing me to switch over to QRP, so I don't need to dig out weak signals... When AA3B took out Contest from us (although Bud arogantly keeps telling us nothing changed here, you always may join classic category... :-) ) there was dilemma either to agree with their stupid decision, to switch brain off and start mouse clicking for 36 hours, or go for FUN and operate unassisted loosing possibility to fight for the TOP position at the same time. The scales turned out for FUN this time
LZ2JASO LP 10MRig: IC-7300 100 W Ant: OB16-3
LZ7GSO HP ALLANT: 12 el 5Bands Log Periodic for 20, 15, 10 and GP for 40 and 80 m
M0XUUSO LP 20MOn & Off but enjoyed working using my loft 20M antenna. 73s
M2JSO LP ALLNice to see 10m active and 20m in good shape. Not serious entry so just 20/15/10m operation using K3 TB31 Dipole
M5GSO HP ALLVery enjoyable. The first contest from this club of ex Marine Operators
M7OSO HP 15Mrotator failure Saturday afternoon cut it short here. see you in the next one
MM0TSO HP 10MSaturday was fun including a brief opening to Southern England. Sunday was poor and the band died altogether by lunchtime. Another excellent event all the same. 73 to the team
MM1ESO HP 15MSingle element dipole only
MM4DSO HP 20MCan't remember the last time I had so much fun with my clothes on!! Thanks to all for the QSOs and your patience with my CW and repeats. FTdx101MP is just a fantastic rig and a dream for CW. Acom 1010 provided the UK limit of 400w to the antenna, a Cushcraft MA5B @ 10m. 20m condx seemed to take a dive for a few hours on Sunday evening but came back pretty good again to NA for the last couple of hours. See you all again next year! 73 de MM4D (aka GM4ATA)

MW6MSO LP ALLJust dabbled in this contest, testing my station after re-wiring with a lot more more ferrite
