KO4RSJSO LP ALLFirst license 072021 New OP 7/3/2021. First contest. Sorry, new CW OP and can't copy numbers at speed. But still had good time and learned a lot. Thanks!
KO6DYISO LP 15MOperator age 15
KQ2MSO HP ALLAmazing cndx at times, poor cndx at others made this contest especially challenging and resulted in an almost identical score to 2023. The multiple, although brief openings into Asia were fun! Tnx for the qsos and mults! 73 Bob, KQ2M
KQ3QSO LP ALLFirst license 03-2022 I am a new YL CW operator with only 10 months of learning code. I have never participated in WPX contest. It is still too fast for my copying skills. I do not use a decoder. Even though I only got 7 contacts it was fun to have a bit of a taste of this contest. Kudos to those who made thousands of QSO. Thanks to those who were part of those 7 contacts. I was asked for the NR? again. I am sure it was because I was giving them such low numbers they needed to confirm what they really heard was true especially during the second day. I just participated for not more than one hour all together with a lot of interruptions from my 6 years old daughter. 73 de KQ3Q
KQ4GUISO LP ALLThanks to my friend KA4JAM without I wouldn't be able to do this TEST
KR2HSO LP 15MStarted operating 1000Z Saturday. Conditions not very good, so my operation was casual. Some improvement on Sunday, but still sub-par. The only unusual contact was ZA/OG1N who put Albania on the map for the first time in years. Go FRC!
KR2QSO HP ALLI was too exhausted from the work week and only stayed awake for 18:49. I did not even turn the radio on for Sunday (local time). Too bad
KR4AESO QRP ALLIcom IC-705 at 1 watt into dipoles and doublet at 35 ft. Lots of fun and tnx fer the q's! 72 de Alan KR4AE
KR7DSO HP ALLThank you for the QSOs
KS7TSO LP ALLSunday condx sure changed for the worse on 20 and 15. Was banging out the Europeans on 15 Sat. morning but Sunday a lot of EU. were calling cq non-stop answering no one but I heard them Q5 s3 in MT. But my weekend was made when paused from the contest to see if I cud see FT4GL on 15 ft8. I did and wrkd him 1 call for #340 through a massive pile up with 100w. Just perfect timing I guess
KT5LASO LP ALL20m was open quite late here! Very fun
KU2CSO HP ALLNice wx and family get togethers limited radio time
KV8QSO QRP ALLQuite an event. I decided to run this year as a QRP entry and was really surprised at how well I could do with just 5 watts and this antenna system (which you can see on my QRZ page). It was very noisy, especially Friday evening. A nice surprise was to find ten meters open on Sunday. And, having a JA answer my CQ about knocked me out of my chair. Lots of un with lots of great memories. Thanks - 73 tom Rig = TenTec Eagle @ 5 Watts. Antenna = an Isotron-80 for 80 meters, a mag Loop (40 thru 15), and a 10 meter droopy dipole, all in the attic above the garage

LC9ASO LP ALLIncredible weather this weekend with extreme temperatures in the shack (40-50c), 30+ outdoors. Took a longer break this time to go for a swim. Absolutely fantastic conditions Saturday, especially Saturday morning to noon. Was ahead of my last year by 100 QSOs ++ but ultimately ended up behind last year because I just couldn't sit indoors the entire weekend with this great weather. A bit bittersweet but had a good time. Thank you all for the contacts

M0KHXSO LP 20MFirst license 03-2023 First licensed in 31 March 2023
M0QSO HP ALLAntennas:
M4NSO HP 15MFLEX640 to SDC software. Great to see so much CW filling the bands
M5MSO LP ALLConditions seemed poor with US hard to work on all bands. Single antenna - 80m dipole with ATU which worked surprisingly well on 20m and 15m
M6WSO LP ALLCondx good but not excellent. 160m-80m-40m inv-L, 20m-15m fan dipole, 10m loop. Separate feeder to 10m loop probably means no TB-Wires
MD4KSO LP ALLHard contest for me still getting over a virus had to stop at 29.5 hours
MM9ISO HP ALLWhat a great weekend on the radio. Really enjoyable and I think a new GM record as well
N0KQSO HP ALLPropagation was rough. I had to take a break several times because I couldn't copy the serial numbers through the noise
N1AUSO HP ALLGreat Conditions and participation this year

N4FURSO LP ALLOperator age 21 YOUTH---DOB 08/08/2002
N4IWSO LP ALLMy BIC time was severely limited this weekend. My oldest granddaughter graduated from UVA last week and a party was held in her honor on Friday night, so needless to say, I did not start working in the contest on time. In fact, I did not start until Saturday morning. This meant I missed all the juicy 6-point contacts Friday night. Saturday was fun with 15 meters primarily being the money band with endless contacts available. I also missed being on Saturday evening with family things. Sunday morning was filled with its normal church activities. Sunday afternoon was fun, but I had to stop quite early due to another family activity. This contest reminded me that I need to take the time to restart my regular CW practice. I struggled with copying the numbers, so I?ll try concentrating on them for a while. All S&P with my modest wire antennas. Thanks for the Qs
N4KHSO HP ALLClassic overlay
N4KSSO HP ALLGreat constes! Sad to see it come to the end. 73, Ken N4KS
