ON6LMJSO LP ALLLicensed in February 2020
ON6NLSO HP ALLReaxed participation. SSB is not my favorite mode anymore, but had a lot of fun. Sunday evening a USA pile up like in the good old days and a South America 10 meter opening. During the day very poor propagations
ON7BBRSO LP ALLMany stations do not give their calls sign regularly
ON7DQSO LP 20MIC-7300 - 100W - Groundplane antenna
OO4OMDFirst time with Distributed Multi Operators. Great fun! Sad to see no propagation on 10m
OQ4BSO LP 20MAlways a struggle between all those 'broadcast power' stations!
OZ1DYISO LP ALLMy equipment: Yaesu FT-847 - antenne Baby-Loop
OZ1THCSO LP ALLThnaks for a great contest, I often only operate cw so it was fun to try
OZ6OMSO QRP 20MEarly Sunday evening, the 20 m. band kind of 'died out' for a while, surpricingly to come back in good shape to the northern SA, Caribian and a bit later US & Canada - ConDX is crutual when running QRP. Final QSO was at 22.30 hours local time (20.30 UT)
P45ASO HP 15MIt has been 5 years since my last serious endeavor into contesting (2016 P45A WPX effort), so might have lost some strategy skills by now. Station worked great, but propagation from here was not all that good, resulting in a low multiplier count as Europe opened only briefly on Sunday and I did not hear a single JA either. Thanks for all the Q's, hope to do better as the cycle starts to improve. 73's de P43A, Jean-Pierre
PA0AAM2nice contest to test some new and updated equipment. Huge improvements at the station with our new bandfilters, k9ay loop for 160-80 mtrs and the 40 mtr 'portable' 4sq. The last one performed as expected after an earlier test in februari in our dutch PACC contest. we operated until sunday 14.00 hours local so a much better result would have been achieved with longer operating periods and more operators. restrictions due to covid-19 prevented us from doing so

PG1RSO LP ALLTS590S, barefoot, output on average 75Watts. Antenna horizontal multiband dipole for 15, 20, 40 & 80M bands. Still marginal propagation on the 15 & 10M bands. Nevertheless I enjoyed the contest. Thanks!
PI4DMSLITS WAS VERRY HARD WORK, BUT ITS WAS VERRY FUN TO DO!
PI4SHBM2Multioperator contesting is challenging these (COVID)days... But we managed to do so with callsign PI4SHB. Rens PA3FGA and I are a couple, so we can always operate together :) But we also wanted to invite yls (from PI4YLC) to our station. Only one yl per day was allowed, according to COVID-regulations in PA. Ineke PD2CWM felt like joining us and did so on sunday morning! She is enthousiastic and wants to grow as an operator. Unfortunately Ineke's yearly attendance at PI4YLC's participation in the Russian DX Contest was not possible this year (and last year as well) So in this WPX she could get her new 'cookie' and she ate it! For Rens, as station designer, it was a good 'try-out' of our developing Multi-2 setup. Since the last contest (RDXC) Rens constructed a new footswitch in order to have a second SSB station. Also he introduced extra filters on 40 and 80m. We're still not there yet more checking and filtering is necessary, but we were able to operate simultaneously this time: a first! And also a first entry in the Multi-2 category! We had a lot of fun, also working friends, like Lisa PA2LS, who made a stunning 800 QSO's in this contest! Thanks to all stations that worked us and see you next year! TRX: 2x K3, KPA500, KAT500, P3. Ant: FB-23, 40m. low dipole, 80m. inv. L, N1MM+ logger. On behalf of the team: 73! de Claudia PA5CT
PI75NWGSO LP ALLnice contest
PJ2TMSHCOVID prevented us from fielding a team in Curacao, and only a couple of our CCC members wanted to participate via the remote. Thanks to N7WA and KY7M for joining me via the remote (500 watts), while I handled the operating on site in Curacao. We managed to cobble together 40 hours of operating, had fun, and look forward to the fall season when we will all be back together in the chairs in Curacao. Dink said this was more SSB contacts than he has made in the entire past 10 years!
PJ4DXSO HP ALLA very enjoyable contest. It started slowly but conditions improved and there was a nice opening to Europe on 15m on the Sunday. I enjoy the 24-hour Classic section and it adds an additional dimension, trying to decide which hours to operate and which to take off. In hindsight my score would have been greater if I had spent less time operating during slow periods on the first day and more time on the Sunday. Also, difficult to decide whether to enter under 'Classic' overlay, or 'Tribander / Wires' as I qualify for both. I eventually settled for TB-Wires. Rig: Icom IC-7300, Acom 1500 amp at 1kW to Spiderbeam for 10-15-20 at 30 feet, 40m inverted-V dipole at 30 feet, wire verticals for 80m and 160m on Spiderbeam fibreglass poles. See you next year. 73 Steve PJ4DX

PS2TMDTHE OPERATION WAS MADE FROM 3 DIFFERENT CONTEST QTHs PS2T, PX2A, PX2W, ALL LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF SAO PAULO. We used the DXLOG software and a VPN Private Network which enabled us to have a common log in real-time and permitted chat and comments among all 3 stations
PT2SRSO LP ALLI operated only during the evenings. Radio is IC7300 and the antenna is 7m of 2.5mm2 wire, inside a fish pole, from the window to a tree. this time I focused more in runs, I think works better
