F5PBL | SO QRP 20M | QRP entry (5W), mono-band (20m), dipole located under the roof and a lot of QRN. Anyway, great time during this contest even if 99% of my Qs are European ones, which turned my WPX CW into kind of WAE ! |
F5UL | SO QRP 40M | Rig Juma TRX2A, 5 watts to a vertical 30 feet whip, instaled 87 feet over ground, with an Idiom Press Scaff Filter for CW pass-band! |
F5VBT | SO QRP ALL | 5 watt out, IC-703, K3, lambda/4 verticals |
F5VKT | SA HP ALL | Part time entry only. Good to hear some good openings on 15 and 10. Use of too many cut down numbers actually slowed things as caused repeats. |
G0MLY | SO LP 80M | Sadly had little time to get heavily involved. I did find some of the abbreviated serial numbers confusing. Isn't it easier just to send the long CW number codes? Otherwise, very enjoyable in the short time I could come on air. First time in this contest, by the way! |
G0MTN | SO LP ALL | Someone turned on a switch somewhere. Are the good times back? |
G0OKF | SO HP ALL | ICOM pro III Cobwebb for 14,21 and 28 mhz 17m wire for 7mhz |
G2CP | Checklog | Callsign aired in memory of late Henry Wiggins, a milliwatt operator. |
G2HDR | SO LP ALL | Enjoyed the contest, as usual, despite poor conditions. SD worked well as it always does. |
G3LHJ | SO QRP ALL | Enjoyable contest Condx a bit tough for Qrp working but could have been worse, good to have 10/15M open, but very little Stateside propagation. |
G3MZV | SO LP 40M | At 1727 on Saturday I heard 9A4D in conflict with RX4HZ over who's frequency it was - 9A4D called RX4 stupid, RX4HZ said "idiot f**k off". This is not the kind of behaviour I expect to hear in amateur radio. Thankfully this is very rare. |
G3PSM | SO LP ALL | Good to see 10M open but activity appeared to be down |
G3RWF | SO LP ALL | Conditions very average - more sun spots needed! |
G3TXF | SO HP ALL | Watching the score accelerate every time you work a new prefix multiplier is part of the fun of thw WPX-CW Contest! |
G3UFY | Checklog | RIG - FT1000MP + Ranger 811H ANTENNAS - Loops + Tribander (14MHx) |
G3VQO | SO LP ALL | Surprisingly good total for "spare time" effort in such poor conditions Sent serial number 323 twice and missed 322 |
G3YMC | SO QRP ALL | A good fun weekend and worked more than I envisaged in the current lousy conditions. Good sporadic E on 15m, but 10m was a bit of a disappointment. Otherwise conditions were lack lustre and I never really had a good opening to the USA on any band. But that is what comes of operating QRP! 73 Dave |
G3ZRJ | SO LP 20M | SORRY ILL HEALTH PREVENTED ME TAKING A FULL PART IN THE CONTEST THANKS VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS SD LOGGER WORKED VERY WELL 73 TONY |
G4BXT | SO LP 40M | Quite relaxed and enjoyable. Wish I could have spent longer operating! |
G4DBW | SO QRP 40M | Elecraft K3 5 watts QRP Vee dipole antenna |
G4FAL | SO HP ALL | A bit of fun trying out SO2R techniques |
G4FOC | SO LP ALL | Joined to give others a chance of points Family commitments did not allow full participation Conditions were up and down in QSB Difficult with lots of QRO station from Europe Great to have SD as the logging programme |
G4IUF | SO HP 10M | Great to work stateside on the Saturday Enjoyed using SD |
G4PIQ | SA LP ALL | K2/100, 100W, Twisted G5RV, one leg @ 8m, other round fence Just a few QSOs from home. Worked last 6 hours of contest at M6T as well |
G6CSY | SO QRP ALL | Running 5W from an IC-7400 to a trap vertical. Logging and keying via DXKeeper and WinWarbler. 3V9A was an all-time-new CW DXCC, as well as two new band/mode slots. OG0R [aka 'Shrek' in my mind] gave three new band/mode slots. Increased last years QSO total by 10%. Perhaps a 40m only entry next year? |
G6NUM | SO LP ALL | FT1000, 90w INTO W3DZZ @ 26FT |
G8MIA | SA LP ALL | Good band conditions this year |
GI4BQI | SO LP ALL | Using straight key - no computers! |
GJ3WW | SO LP ALL | 40 and 20 still the money bands for now. |
GM4SID | SO HP ALL | Used SD and again it performed perfectly. Conditions were on the up at last. |
GM4UBJ | SO QRP 10M | Improved my score from last year despite pathetic conditions on Saturday. Impressed by the performance of my Bi-Square allowing me contacts into PY and LU using just 5 watts.10m was dead most of Saturday and Sunday evening only coming to life again at 11:50 pm.Typical ! |
GM4UYZ | SA LP ALL | Enjoyed what I managed. Beat last years score so really happy. |
GW0RYT | SO HP ALL | Just a few hours operating due to the normal weekend commitments................Shopping! |
GW0VSW | SO QRP 20M | My first WPX for a long time. Difficult with just an indoor antenna and 5 watts but great fun. Nice to work some new QRP DX. Thanks to all those who logged me |
GW6W | SO HP 20M | First airing of the new contest call for the Dragon ARC here in North Wales. Decent conditions on Saturday but very quiet during daylight hours on Sunday; things really opened up after sunset however and the final 2 hours of the contest were buzzing!

HA2MN | SO LP ALL | Enjoyed the contest very much though the claimed is much less than it was last year. Maybe the propagation can be blamed and me, having not been on the top, too. Many thanks for Qs, see you next time! Rig TS-530SP 100 W into a end-fed 21 mtrs long wire above flat roof. |

HB9CVQ | SA HP 40M | Considerable problems again here with well known, mean, nasty EU Call Faker and QRMer. In contest this time only little QRN. First day better prop. to NA.
