| M1PTR | SA HP ALL | Not able to operate as M2 this year so entered as SO. An enjoyable weekend on the radio |
| M2J | SO LP ALL | Hardwork on 40M Saturday getting response to my 100W, easier on Sunday! Unable to raise some very loud signals despite many attempts over w/e Yet many weak stations came back 1st call?? K3, 22m Long Doublet @ 8M Apex |
| M3ECT | SO LP ALL | Great propagation great fun thanks! |

| M6O | SO HP 20M | Last time I entered this contest was as M0C in 2013 SO(A)LP 40m TB-Wires. World #1 then, so all downhill from there! I had no idea how my new QTH and setup would play in its first outing. I decided to play with no assistance and a single radio. That was a great decision as I could focus on running and tuning S & P instead of mouse clicks... Equipment: K3 + ACOM 2000A at 400W Antenna: Ultrabeam 4-el 10m/33ft high |
| M7PDH | SA LP ALL | Licence Issued 13/12/2019 |
| M7Q | SO HP ALL | Bit of casual operation while locked up at home. Only a 40/80m dipole hanging in a tree. Lots of good activity for obvious reasons! |

| N6AR | SA HP ALL | Nobody went out to a DX location but everybody got on from home. Too bad 10 and 15 were so poor |
| N6DW | SA HP ALL | I had plans to put in the hours for this contest, but unfortunately a bum knee ended my time. I could not find a way to elevate my leg and operate. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it |

| N7VS | SO LP ALL | Thank you for sponsoring another interesting contest. Conflicts limited my operating time. Hope to be back next year |
| N8BI | SA HP ALL | time I had left. Oh well! |
| N8BJQ | SO HP 20M | Not a great week. Was supposed to start PT on my neck & shoulder - that got cancelled as did an MRI. 40M died on the K3 - I expect it was lightning induced. That made my decision to play on 20 for me. I spent most of my time looking for new prefixes. Had a nice run the last hour which helped the score considerably. Thanks for the Q's. See you in May |
| N8EV | SA LP ALL | First Licensed 2/15/2018 |
| N8II | SO LP ALL | 15 opened only to EU to the Med area both days and was marginal to there. I heard no signals on 10 Saturday Sunday there was a good opening to southern SA starting around 1820Z until past 1943Z when I took a break. I had a run going around 19Z which helped boost the 10M QSO total to 55 |
| N8IVN | SA HP ALL | A part-time effort utilizing my newly designed & installed dipole installation. The design was that of Jim/W3NRJ and installation mostly that of Jim's w/ help from Phil/K3EW and myself. Thanks, gents! This was great fun! 73 Dennis N8IVN |
| N8JLM | SO LP ALL | I took my Technician on December 1, 2018, and I got my license later in the month. I later upgraded to General and Amateur Extra in 2019. I am 14 years old. Dipole fed with coax. Any contact made above 40M was with the help of an antenna tuner in my shack |
| N8NJH | SO LP 40M | 10/17/2019 |
| N8TCP | SO LP ALL | Had fun between storms |

| NC1A | SA LP ALL | Had Fun - worked 2 bands... Used an Indoor 20M Dipole at 25Ft ASL and Outdoor 'Hamstik' dipole at 30Ft ASL with 100W and FTdx3000 TxRx. '73, George NC1A |
| NC8C | SO HP ALL | 2020 CQ WPX SSB using North Coast Contest Club call, NC8C. Murphy visited on Friday evening to cause a slow and sporadic S&P start instead of running as planned. The benefit turned out be lots of high-point-value, low-band DX and rare prefix multipliers. Running was nearly impossible on 20 meters with a low wire dipole antenna. Good performing 160 and 80 meter vertical wires didn't make up for pretty poor band conditions here. But, the 40 meter vertical wire was the star performer, over 60 ground radials. Phasing the verticals with an Active Receive Vertical using the DXE-NCC-2 saved the weekend, taking received S7-S9 noise down as low as S3. I may have fallen short of my goal of over 1500 Qs, but results were reasonable, considering a surprise illness (not COVID-19) and the lack of a beam on a tower or even a high dipole for the high bands. A total of 1176 contacts for 1988 points with 453 unique prefixes is one of my highest scoring contests. Thanks for the Qs everyone. Please take care, be safe and stay well. 73, Rod K8RR |
| ND0C | SO QRP ALL | Only spent a few hours on - very tough going on 20 |
| ND8DX | SO HP 80M | NUMBING MOST OF THE WEEKEND |

| NF4A | SA LP ALL | Glad to be back on the air after 18 months without antennas after Hurricane Michael destoyed them. Really impressed with the new SteippIR beam. Amp had a keying problem so I operated low power. I felt loud with 100 watts !! |
| NG1R | SA LP 20M | Thank you for sponsoring the contest |
