| VE7MR | SO LP 40M | covid, bad bug! |
| VE7SAR | MSH | Totally disagree with Russia ban |
| VE9HF | SO HP 20M | CQing into a Hustler 6BTV with 32 radials. I've been without directional HF antennas since I moved 18 months ago. That will hopefully change this coming week |
| VE9KK | SO LP ALL | I started with a dream of WPX sugar cookies being racked up in the log. Conditions as I would imagine have already been talked about were challenging. Thanks to VX9ML for the contact and the points. Things all came crashing down when my dear wife came into the shack shortly into the contest with 'come and listen I think I hear water running' Well things came to a grinding halt and it was contractors, plumbers and lots of goodies. Anyway was in and out of the contest but mostly out. 73 and thanks to those who made contact, Mike VE9KK |
| VJ4O | SO LP ALL | Used 'SD' by EI5DI worked very FB |
| VJ5W | SO HP ALL | More people need to listen and copy what was sent instead of guessing The VK 2x1 contest calls in the VJ and VL series are still confusing people Also people need to look out for strange openings. Yes LP South America works from VK at 5am (1900z). Something to watch for next year! |
| VK2BJ | SO HP ALL | Contest was great fun but 10 and 15 disappointing on the Sunday. Not much at all heard on 80 and nothing on 160 |
| VK2CCC | SO QRP ALL | Very average condx on the second day (when using QRP and a single end fed wire). The highlight was those few 80M QSOs with US and Canada - great ears & skill of those ops. TNX! |
| VK2IG | SO LP 10M | Single band entry this year on 10m (decided to give 40m a rest for a change). It was an enjoyable activity, with 10m showing better openings than last December's ARRL 10m Contest. Transmitter was a TS-480HX operating at 100W output, and antennas were two 'Hourglass' with upper elements at 15m height and beaming at 90 degrees to each other. Thanks to those who answered my calls, and the contest managers for running this contest |
| VK3IU | SO LP 10M | This was my 1st WPX in over 20y and a trial for using N1MM next time will be there more seriously |
| VK3KTT | SO LP ALL | just a casual entry but had lots of fun |
| VK4JJ | SO LP 20M | First license 10-2020. 11 DEC 2020 - ROOKIE |
| VK5DC | SO LP ALL | Great opportunity to integrate my FLEX-6400 and N1MM together for the first time. This contest allows me to work a lot of stations from all over the world with a dipole based station @ about 20 feet |
| VK7GN | SO HP ALL | If AJ6V reports wrong serial it is my fault - I gave 525 then repeated as 526! |
| VL2G | SO HP ALL | Excellent high band conditions for the first day. What a fantastic contest experience for 24 hours. Thanks to all who exchange numbers with me |
| VL2N | SO HP ALL | Small entry on my part (Classic and fourteen hours on). However almost double of QSOs comparing to the last year. Amazing conditions and I did not have any Murphy visit. Some of the DX stations had mighty signals. Quite few very good runs. Ten meters was very friendly, but fifteen meters was great. In general it was fun. Thank you all who called. 73 Patrick VK2PN |
| VL3E | SO LP 10M | A very part time effort but it was great to see 10m open for a contest. Band condx on 10m were down compared to the previous few months but had fun working some DX |
| VL6K | SO QRP 20M | Part time effort as I had home life & fire brigade training. My FT920 is not working well & needs looking at soon. 4W, broken FT920 & 80m OCF dipole @ 6m. ~2.5 hrs. I have a new rig on order. Hope to do better next time! |
| VO1BQ | SO HP ALL | Conditions seemed very good, a pleasant surprise... Three, 1 hour operating sessions over the weekend. Mostly S&P with a little running for a while before I shut down. 500W with EFHW...Thanks for the QSO's. 73 Joe VO1BQ |
| VR2NC | SO LP 10M | First license 07-2021. licensed since July,2021 |
| W0LL | SO HP ALL | Was fun |
| W1FJ | SO QRP ALL | broke some pile ups,ran some E on 40m, worked a JA, this QRP stuff is kid of fun |
| W1ND | SO QRP ALL | I was at the campsite with my KX2, testing out a new flight board that allowed me to work from my camp chair. So Picnic Table Portable and Camp Chair Portable. I used a 59' End Fed on day one, then switched to a 42' End Fed for day two. Keep it simple. My log is my tried an true /P Rite in the Rain 4x6 pad with my own format |
| W1NSK | SO LP ALL | 100W & an OCF |
| W1NU | SO LP ALL | a bit more ambition this time and a teeny bit more comfort with N1MM made my operation a tad more efficient than my last effort...but far from 'sleek' hi hi...lots of fun and bands, though certainly not stellar, were modestly healthy 73s de W1NU |
| W1VKE | SO LP ALL | none |
| W2IY | SO HP ALL | First license 04-1961 |
| W2YR | SO HP ALL | Most regrettable and short-sighted that CQ has introduced politics into amateur radio contests with the invalidation of participation from stations in some regions! |
| W3AVP | SO LP ALL | Thank you everyone for putting up with my horrid fist |
| W3SA | Checklog | lots of QSB and late opening into Europe |
| W3SI | SO LP 20M | My first CQ WPX-CW Contest about 4 hours operating time. Rig Icom 706 into a LNR EFHW QUAD antenna key was a Vizkey Vertical Bug. I was not prepared to do this contest and had to read rules and get a logging program before beginning |
| W3TB | SO HP ALL | W3TB Franklin TN Tennessee Contest Group |
| W3YJ | SO LP ALL | First 50 QSO's were made with 10W and an OM0ET mag loop antenna from my deck in a suburban neighborhood near lots of brick buildings |
| W4EE | SO LP ALL | Fun contest |
| W4GHV | SO HP ALL | IC-7610 & EFHW |
| W4IDX | SO LP ALL | I had a great time. It was my first big effort after 20 years QRT. I need a beam. Operating on the west coast is much different than on the east coast. I missed the EU runs on 40 at night and in the morning. Lots of Asian stations I never heard back there. Maybe next year |
