| KJ5T | SO QRP ALL | KX2 @ 5W / Hustler 6BTV After a couple of months completely off the air due to a crazy busy work schedule and trying to learn how to raise a kid (nearly 6 month old little girl) it felt great to get on the air again. Highlights as always are logging friends, especially the number of familiar CWOps members. Biggest bummer was not being able to get the JA3 on 15M, I was just too weak for the exchange to happen. Thanks for those who did stick with the repeats. I decided to go QRP because I did QRP last year and I wanted to give the KX2 a bit of love, it's such a fun little radio to operate. I will probably stick with QRP in this contest in future years. 73 de KJ5T |
| KJ9C | SO HP ALL | Very part time at the Indy remote shack... maintenance, yard work, indy 500 |
| KK0U | SO QRP ALL | Extremely limited time to operate. Was operating remote from Brussels, Bastogne, Cologne and Hamburg. Maybe next year I'll get a full time effort |
| KK4R | SO HP ALL | Trying out a new KPA500, my first amp ever, and making my first high power entry. Also operating un-assited for the Classic overlay. It was a great contest, if a little different without Russia and some of the multi-ops that had to cancel due to Covid. I had a great time and learned that I have a grounding problem in the shack, since the amp wouldn't tolerate it on 10 m. I stopped in the contest and rewired the grounds to clean things up and the amp was happy |
| KL1/K1KK | SO LP 20M | Chance of a lifetime as a contest op to operate from AK |
| KM4SII | SO LP ALL | Operator age 19. Great fun! Despite conditions not being as good as I had hoped, I managed to surpass my score from 2020 (the last time I participated in WPX CW). I had high hopes of excellent propagation coming into this weekend since even Thursday saw 15m open to Europe into the wee hours of the morning and excellent JA/BY/YB openings during the day. However, with the SFI and sunspot number dropping dramatically at the contest start, and a K index of 5, propagation ended up being quite average in my opinion. 15m was open to EU much of both days, but never quite enough for any notable runs. On Saturday, I worked several loud JAs on 15m shortly before their sunrise, but it seemed few stations were on taking advantage of the opening. I managed to work a single JA on 20m around 05z of night one. 20m closed to EU at 06z on night one and soon after 07z on night two. 40m was decent throughout the contest, and 6-pointers were plentiful despite the summer QRN. In the times I checked 80m there were only a handful of signals visible, so I did not spend much time there. Thanks for the QSOs! 73 Mason - KM4SII (19 years old) Rig: Flex 6300 Antennas: 80: 80m dipole sloping from 70 to 40 ft 40: 40m dipole sloping from 70 to 50 ft 20: 20m delta loop at 60 ft 15: 40m dipole sloping from 70 to 50 ft 10: 20m delta loop at 60 ft |

| KQ2M | SO HP ALL | Propagation and off-times are always a challenge in WPXCW but lots of fun. Wonderful to say hello to so many friends. Tnx for the qso's and the mults! 73 Bob, KQ2M |
| KR2Q | SO HP ALL | I was mostly trying to work new CWOps members so I was mostly beaming USA instead of at DX. Had a fun time |
| KS7T | SO HP ALL | When I checked the prop numbers on Fri the K was 5 and I thought the bands would be awful the whole contest. Only a handful of EU coming through on Fri. nite on 20. When I went to 40 D4Z was 30 over, got him easy and heard no other DX the rest of the nite. Then Sat. cudn't believe my ears. Eu started coming in at 1400z after JAs were banging in and EU prop remained til 0600z! Sigs were a real 599 hr in dbl hop land! |

| KV8Q | SO LP ALL | You could call this a 10+ Event!!! That means the A-Index was greater than ten for the entire contest. 80 was about useless here with the indoor antenna. I was amazed that I was ablt to run awhile on the other bands - except 10 which never opened that I found. My favorite contest. Now, I've got to come up with way to squeeze a few more Q's out of this setup 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 |
