MI0HOZSO HP ALLUsed SD logger and loved it
MM/W7YAQSO LP ALLOperation from Scalloway, Shetland Islands
MX3WSO HP ALLConditions are gradually improving. 20m was very good but 15m and 10m were a little disappointing. The highlight was being able work JA and W on 20m late in our evening
N0JKSO QRP 10MOperated fixed portable on 10M with 1/4 wave whip. Good conditions to South America both days, suspect sporadic-E to TEP links
N0KQSO HP ALLI had to shut down on Sunday due to thunder storms in the area. Otherwise I touched all bands at some time on Saturday. Propagation was way down early in the contest but improved later
N1DIDSO LP ALLPropagation was terribly disappointing

N5NU/TI2SO LP ALLField Day style operation with a delta loop and a random wire antenna
N6HISO QRP ALLQRP, just ONE HALF WATT to a 20 Foot End Fed Wire. Band conditions were ... let's say ... 'variable'? ... but really quite good at some points, with a good opening to Europe for me on Saturday night. I didn't operate Sunday. My hearty congrats and THANKS to all for your patience. Most copied the exchange perfectly, with only occasional repeats required, a testament to your stations and your skills! There's NO Contest like a CW Contest! Pure radio fun! Support the Unassisted Challenge- https://unassisted.org/rules/ GO ARIZONA OUTLAWS! 73 John N6HI
N6ICSO HP ALLAlways a fun contest for an old timer. 80 was the toughest to find stations as a S&P

N6RVSO HP ALLJust Playing around
N6SPPSO LP ALLCasual, S&P
N6VOHSO HP 20MHad a great time
N6YEUSO LP ALLBasically a small check log
N7EPDSO HP ALLIn spite of a K index of 4-5 at the start 15 meters was working quite good. Seemed pretty slow at times and didn't get a really good run until Saturday afternoon. Claimed score will be reduced once they remove the Russian QSO/ mults
N7SEChecklogCheck log only, I am not entering for any sort of award
N7VSSO LP ALLThank you for hosting another interesting contest. It was nice to see some activity on 15, and 10 meters. I bought a 'very slightly used' ICOM IC 7610 from a local club member about two weeks before this event. I still need to upgrade the firmware and install a new driver. The radio works great and I love it. My logging computer, which has given me faithful service since 2008, crashed at approximately 00:00Z May 29th. I did the remainder of the event by hand on paper. Thank you for the contacts. I hope to be back next year. 73, Steve Brandt N7VS

N7WYSO LP ALL10, 15 and 20 m only - tower lowered to about 34 feet, Yaesu 3830 report = 20 m - 280 q, 200 px 15 m - 204 q 137 px + 10 m - 22 q 15 px 506, 352 for 374,176 pts
N8KHSO HP ALLSome real assholes during this test. Malicious QRM. Giving the DX's exchange, and preventing me from hearing the DX station myself. What fucking assholes!
N9TFSO LP ALLHad fun even with my cobbled together LOW 160m dipoe for all bands. Thanks to good sun spots and SFI, I felt somewhat competative working EU, SA, and PAC DX on the clothes line! Not a bad WPX to Q ratio, and 52 DXC to boot! Always hard to tell how good or bad prop really is with a 160m dipole only 15'-17' above ground, on the high bands. The cluster was full of DX and I was working it too, so prop was good! Thanks for sponsoring a fun contest. 73 Gene, N9TF Clarksville TN. Rig, K3S 100 watts. Antenna, 160m dipole 17' above ground. One leg 130' of wire, other leg, 120' of continuous connected gutter system wrapping about 85% of the house. CQ CONTEST!!

NE8O/4SO LP ALL87 PREFIXES 190 POINTS
NF4ASO HP ALLStarted not to enter log....it probably is full of mistakes....between having the Dayton Covid and the deep QSB on the bands I probably made a lot of bad entries...just could do more than 11 hours due to Covid having me very tired
NF6PSO LP ALLREAL PART-TIME EFFORT FROM THE RV WITH A SIMPLE PORTABLE VERTICLE

NN8UUSO LP ALLAlways a fun contest. Let's see how much of a lid I am, think I made a bunch of coping mistakes. Nice to work people on 15m after midnight local time and to have 20m open all night. Missed working any JA stations and only heard one or two calling people. 100w and single dipole antenna (zs6bkw style)
