OV3XSO LP ALLK3 with 90 watts into TH3MK4 at 10 meters and ZS6BKW over a 12 meter flagpole. Condx not the best. QRN sometimes very high and aurora also made a challange. Had to repeat number over and over and CQ was not my favorite this time. Had to search for my QSOs. It was much better. Had a great time and worked less than 26 hours
OZ1AARSO LP ALLSure not the best general condex, but a few openings for some DX stations

PA3FQAChecklogNumbers I send at day 2 should be +2. They will not macth
PA3GPXSO LP ALLI decide to make a real effort this year. I operated 10 hours on the saturday and another 5 on the sunday. Then my head started to hurt and I was getting trouble decoding cw. I guess my brain was shutting down. :) Respect for the hams that can operate the full contest on their own. So I decided to call it a day. A littel over 700 QSO's is not too bad considering my modest station I guess. I learned a lot and had fun. At least some of the time. :) See you all next year!

PP5AXSO HP 20MIn this WPX CW 2025 I operated SOSBHP 20M Classic noAssist for only 13 hours and it was very difficult to hear my friends due to a huge local noise inside the city combined with a very low 2el yagi antenna that needed urgent maintenance... but it was a lot of fun as always... until the next 73s , PP5AX
