NM5GSO HP ALLFirst major CW contest. Not sure if I am a rookie
NN3LSA HP 20MVery good conditions on Sunday. Lots of fun. Thanks to the sponsors
NN5OSA LP ALLJust a casual effort this year, but it surely was great to hear all the special call signs...and to see so many friends operating with novel callsigns. I'm especially proud of our Deep Dixie Contest Club (DDCC) members who operated in a M/M category at WV4P. Also, I was thrilled that one of our superstar members, Dr. Tor Clay, N4OGW, used our DDCC club call sign, KD5DD. I hope thousands of you worked Dr. Clay! Until next time
NN5TSO LP ALLCondix on 20 was like SSN=100, good
NN5ZSA HP ALLFlex6600 Elecraft KPA1500 Dipoles 80m-15m Longwire on 160m and 10m Nothing over 30 feet
NN6CSA HP ALLReally enjoyed the 20m band opening to EU on Friday night. Saturday was a lot slower and by late afternoon, I was done
NN7SSSO QRP ALLJust an hour near the start, and an hour near the end. Saw nothing on 10m either time, so chased the fading up/down signals on 15m. When nothing new on the scope, I'd go to the 20m mess for a bit. Both times I had trouble with the delay from key press to CW getting longer and longer, until the keyer stopped responding. Don't know why... and no energy to diagnose right now. Still, some good CW fun, thanks! NN7SS (K6UFO) 10m, 15m, 20m Flex-6600 at 5 watts RemoteHamRadio.com, Writelog
NO3USA HP ALLCQ WPX CW is always a blast! Conditions were rather solid also. NO3U
NP4HSA LP 20MThis was great... Last minute, I found a new (old stock) B&W AP-10 apartment antenna and assembled it and put it out the window, hooked up my Icom IC-706MKIIG and VOILA! It worked... So did as much as I could with the limitations but it was fun... Glad to be back on the air from my apartment. I felt like a dog with three tails... 73 to all!!! Nomar, NP4H
NR0RSO QRP ALLEvery contact in my log was QRPp. Way under one watt output power. Why? Because it's fun. Now the fun for everyone else will be to go back and search your own logs to see if you worked a guy that was running around a tenth of a watt. Was your station good enough? Were you skilled enough? Was your antenna good enough? If you did not, perhaps the reason you were not able to work me is the same reason your score is not what you had hoped. Whether or not you were able to work my pipsqueak of a signal says a lot about your own capabilities and skills. Working strong stations is easy. Everyone can do that. Working a weask station takes more. More capabilities. More skill. Have Fun Mark NR0R
NR4CSA HP ALLHad a blast. Braking in a new IC-7300 and I) like it a lot
NS6WSO LP ALLYaesu FT-891, Ground Plane
NT7GSA HP ALLThanks to Ray for letting me run his fine station for this contest. Also thanks to Max for the use of the NT7G call, it worked great!! Challange in this contest form out here in the west was not to get caught up in the USA runs. At times I spent more time pointing and clicking on DX stations and mults that were easily workable but did not call in while running. Was really nice seeing my last off time period pay off, I took off at 1300Z Sunday morning to save my last 2 hours of operating time for the end. Ended up going from around 4.7 meg to 5.08 and 880 mults to 923.mWhew that was fun!! 73's and thanks for a fun weekend

OK1YMSA LP ALLAfter many years I could enjoy full time SO participation in the contest.As I used only 1 radio TS 850S and simple LW 41m I set my goal 1400 QSO and 700 pfx. As 10m band was opened and 40m worked very well I enjoyed also fine pileups. Sometimes it was hard to choose which one of the 6 opened bands to choose. Thanks to all of you for our QSO and CU next time
