OK7WSO HP 40MOriginally Pavel OK1MU was intended to run this test, but plans have changed to him and I was happy to run that myself. First night was weak for me (may be conditions? Or frequency? Who knows..). But from saturday morning, I started closing the gap. Very interesting was comparing with S52AW and 9A5Y on cqcontest. All the setup worked 100% all the time - thanks to OK2ZAW and his QRO.CZ company for big part of it. Thaks to OK1MU for great support and all the callers for loooots of nice QSOs, 73, Standa OK7W - OK1CID

PA3CVISO LP ALLEnter for fun, not to win. Well organized contest. See you next year. PA3CVI
PA3DSBSO QRP ALLWorking 205 stations with QRP is not my achievement but that of 205 operators listening for my tiny signal, setting up their big antennas and their patience of pulling me out of the noise. Personal highlight was working JR4OZR who kept on requesting the serial and finally got it right. RIG: FT817 barefoot, 30ft End-Fed up 24ft Saturday conditions were unexpected poor but sunday made it all up. Many thanks y'all !! Paul PA3DSB
PA3DTRSO LP ALLNice contest again. Sorry for missing much 28 MHz qso's due to propagation and noise on Saterday. The cluster really got dirty with wrong callsign spots. Also some operators were a bit to easy on the exchange. I enjoyed however a nice contest weekend. Catch up next year for a weekend radio fun. 73 Jaap

S51DXSO HP 40M200W and R-7000 multiband vertical. Regards de Janez S51DX
S51JSO HP 40MMe and my friend Leo-S50R worked from S50E contest location, about 1300m ASL. Leo on 15m with his equipment, me on 40m with club radio FTDX10 and 40MDY2 antenna, my SPE EXPERT 1.3K-FE power amplifier, using N1MM+ Logger for controlling radio and for logging QSO?s. Bandpass filters were borrowed from Marko-S50K. Equipment works perfectly, but all other things were against us! At first on Friday evening there came cold weatherfront from northwest over Alps and eastern Slovenia, which began to whirl around the country, with rain and strong lightning (luckily, not very close to our location) all around Slovenia, till Sunday morning. Very hard conditions to ?read? CW, especially on 40m. And then at least two cases of stronger solar wind, very good seen on radio spectrum display, and from warning on my Android phone from SpaceWeatherLive application. That caused 2 hours forced rest for me on 40m. Despite to too many times repeated numbers and callsigns, there will be errors in my log! more thing, my call sign on RBN, experienced all possible variants. The same goes for other call signs there too. So, one must listen very carefully what is the real one, especially at S&P, where now I don?t use BandMap or cluster, but use mouse on spectrum display, and listen what it is. This way goes a little slower, but more precise! I only use SET/SEEME on telnet settings using RBN spots, to know, how strong is my signal over the world!
