KS7TSO LP ALLNot bad for 100 w. and real crummy condx and no little pistol JAs or for that matter big pistol JAs coming thru on 10 or 20 and just a handful of the regulars on 15. Lots of QSB no matter where in the world any body was made it challenging. 48 hours after the contest, huh that was a curveball. WHY?
KT6VSO LP ALLThanks to Tom, K2GO for use of the Club call sign

KZ4MKJSO LP ALLlove this contest, wish i had more time this weekend. 73
LA4CM2One linear failed right before the contest. We worked the contest with one high power and one low power radio. 10m beam was just 3m above ground as we had no tower for it. We had long runs on 20m, and worked NA until midnight local time
LA6AFAChecklogI did not participate in the contest, so I did not log the received numbers. Sorry

LC6CSO LP ALLWPX is always fun, but high indexes 'supported by' local snow and sleet made this year a very noisy experience. The use of Artificial and very Un-Intelligent voice keying by operators perfectly able to speak, is not a positive development, including the use of female voices by male operators with no gender incongruence. I much prefer communicating with a real person who is able to understand that I am not responding to his/her call, but a different station on the same frequency, instead of a insistent AI voice keyer only repeating its message. And I'd love to compete and communicate with a human operator, not a computer. I can only hope AUI voice keying is a fad to be soon forgotten

M2LSO HP 15MSadly due to family commitments, just a part time effort this year. Saturday conditions were amazing but I was QRT between 11:30 and 16:00 UTC. Band still open past 22:00. Sunday was a different story, no opening to JA in the morning unlike Saturday where the JA's were booming in. North America was very patchy on the Sunday so struggled to get a run going to the west. Still some nice openings and the most important thing is that it was great fun! See you all in the CW section (my favorite!!)
M2XSO LP ALL50W and 160-10M Doublet
M5LGMSO LP ALLFirst license 01-2024 It went ok, It was annoying that the computer crashed in the middle of one contact, and the CAT control disconnected at some point so a couple of contacts I made on 20m were accidentally logged to be on 40m
M6NM2First go at Multi-2 SSB, variable conditions, Thanks for the QSO's, 73
