OL57ZWSO LP ALLKenwood TS 850S + LW 41m. OL57ZW is special callsign dedicated to the memory and honouring Zdeno OK2ZW (ex.OK2PZW), who unexpectedly left us on January 4 2021, at the age of only 57 years. For Zdeno, the radioamateur hobby was everything and his greatest passion. He was an excellent DX-man, HF and VHF contest operator, who achieved many excellent world results. He was active from Accra as 9G5ZW and Ankara as TA2ZW in the past. He was also participated in several DX expeditions, where he was a brilliant operator

P49YSO HP ALLIt was delightful to be able to travel to Aruba again. And band conditions were great on 40-20-15, including the return of 20 being open at night for dxing. However, Assisted should be a category, and Classic should be a category, not an overlay. There should be more community input into these decisions. But thanks, Bud, for trying!

PY1DXSO LP 15MBAD PROPAGATION DURING ALL THE CONTEST
PY1NPChecklogCongratulations to all operators who participated
PY1VOYSO HP ALLQSB was too heavy on 15m. 20m was really busy but propagation did not work well this time for my location. I dont want to be negative at this point but each year has been more difficult for those hams that dont have big stations from my perspective. We understand the effort to bring different options such as MM distributed but since we started with FT8,this option may give them a chance to operate a contest over IP but how this new option can create the true ham spirit? I really cant see which difference exists between this new category and social midia contests? I think that new categories to estimulate amateur radio to use more the radio and antenna sets are more fruitful to keep the ham spirit. Thanks for the contest
