KN4YSO LP 10MCurious what score could be posted on a supposely dead band. Shack cleaned
KQ2M/1SO HP ALLI had a lot of fun for the first four hours then struggled with poor cndx. It was wonderful to operate WPXCW after a 3 year hiatus for medical issues. However, at 06z Sunday I suffered an urgent and serious medical problem that forced my immediate QRT. Great to work so many friends! Tnx for q's and 73. Bob KQ2M
KR7O/6SO HP ALLRan out of gas first night
KS4YXSO LP ALLI stayed in S&P mode the whole contest and still had a grand time
KS7TSO HP ALLAccording to the prop numbers prospects for working DX were slim yet I worked EU stns from MT. for hours both days on 20 and my Sat. evening gray line produced a huge EU pileup plus huge sigs de D4C, P33W, 7Z1SJ, & CN2AA who all called me - FB!

KW1K/4MSLThanks for all the QSOs
KX7LSA HP ALLI didn't come close to my score from last year, but I did have a few hours less to play. 20m dominated even more than last year - just not to much happening on 15 at all here. One aspect of getting older is the need to get up in the middle of the night. I woke up Saturday morning at around 4, and decided to check out 80m. I think I caught the grayline sweet spot, as I worked several JA's with relative ease, and heard, but could not raise, an LU and VK4. Had a nice run into eastern Europe Saturday evening. Thanks for all the QSO's! KX3 + HR50 + SB200 Dipole up 70', 20 & 15 Inv Ell, 80 & 40
KZ5JSO HP 15MFriday night started out with a severe thunder storm. It got so bad at one point that the XYL forced me to QRT. Sunday morning started off with Microsoft forcing Windows 10 onto my logging computer. I had to take time to deal with that and eventually got Windows 7 back on my computer. Several periods of severe QSB and generallly poor band condtions on 15 meters. Over all I had a blast. This is always a fun contest. Pat - KZ5J

M6OSA HP ALLOperated for a few hours to give away some points. Used my little Folding Antennas hexbeam for 20m through 10m. No antennas for LF. K3/KPA500/P3 at 400W N1MM+ Conditions to the east were good to very good. Conditions to North America - the pits! Only one west coast Q - last year ran west coast easily with same setup. Come back sunspots, all is forgiven!
M6WSA LP 20MGreat conditions, great contest! QSO #1127 entered in error and did not take place
M7OSA HP 15Mtnx for the QSO's. poor conditions throughout
MD0HZYSO QRP ALL12 hrs on EU-116QSO
MJ5ZSO LP ALLLike in RDXC, 40m dipole did not work properly. Ironically I did not bring brand new 40m dipole which I won KCDXC pileup in Dayton for saving baggage weight/space. Bad decision. As everyone reported, 10m was wide open within EU but never generated good rate. Potentially mede some mistakes in terms of band selection. Then weather was too good to stay inside building! Anyway thanks to all for QSOs! 73 Kazu M0CFW, M5Z, JK3GAD
