N4BNSO LP 10MMy first contest. Apologies for my mistakes on early QSOs. Thank you to all contacts! Portable setup. FT-891, 20 Watts, EFHW speaker wire antenna (sloper), homemade transformer (based on QRPGuys portable no yune half wave antenna), fishing pole (at least 20 ft / 6m tall), 8Ah lithium battery, a little bit of coax, and an understanding wife. Used NanoVNA to trim antenna for resonance and get SWR down to 1.4 at 29 MHz
N4DEXSO LP 10MFirst license 02-2023
N4DTFSO HP ALLa limited effort, mainly looking to fill band/country gaps. Very noisy conditions here in EM55, Friday night was a wash from Tstorms. Great ops and great fun!
N4EMPSO LP ALLInadvertently uploaded log prematurely before contest ended. Had log errors on my end with Serial number exchanges. Hope those we worked aren't penalized in log entry mismatch!

N6ANSO QRP ALLPortable from Flint Peak Saturday and Cerro Negro Benchmark Sunday. 5 watts to wire antenna
N6DWSO HP ALLBusy weekend but managed to find some operating time. Conditions were confusing, but maybe it was because I was operating in small chunks of time. All S&P
N6KRJSO LP ALLFirst license 09-2020 09-22-2020
N6ZESO LP ALLMinimal time to operate available, but did manage a few QSOs
N7MZWSO LP ALLIcom IC-7300, Heil Pro Micro Headset, Vectronics HFT-1500 Manual Tuner for 15 and 80 meters only, and a modified ZS6BKW flattop up 50 feet, running N-S at 6,053 feet elevation in Laramie County. That was fun, in spite of less than stellar solar conditions! 10 and 15 could have been better, especially to JA Land. Way too many DX stations running without giving their call sign every few contacts, and a couple decided that their rate would be better if they did NOT provide a signal report during their exchange. Hoping that the log reviewing entities will call out this OBVIOUS 'UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT.' Mostly well behaved pileups, with the 'usual suspects' who were splattering with wide and nearly unintelligable audio. Thanks for the Q's and fills! 73, from Wyoming. November Seven Many Zebras Walking
N7PMBSO LP ALLFirst license 06-2022 28-Jun-2022 first licensed as kk7hcy
N7RQSO HP 15MThat was huge fun! 15 was a crowed parking lot for the entire weekend. Great openings to EU and JA/YB/DU, with some SA and VK/ZL. Thankfully the K index stayed in the low range so copying was fairly easy most of the time. Many thanks to friends worldwide and Arizona Outlaws who said howdy. And thanks most of all to my OM Bob K8IA for his technical wizardry, chow & beverages, and his wonderful cheerleading
N7VGOSO HP ALLFirst Contact was New Zealand so it was looking good for me. 100 % S&P. Got my first 160 meter contacts, after putting up an Alpha Delta DX-LB, it needs some more work but it worked for now. Thanks to all the contacts and all the stations that had to pull me out of my miss tuning of the frequency they were on. Will work on that. Over all I enjoyed this one, just need to spend more time on it. 73 until next one
N7WLCSO LP ALLFirst time for this contest and had a great time!
N7WYSO HP ALLK4d, KPA1500, 5 el yagi on 15 and 20 m, 6 el on 10 m
N8ACPSO LP ALLFirst license 12-2020 First licensed 12-22-2020
N8IISO LP ALLVery challenging poor condx until about 18Z Saturday. High bands opened late to EU both days but opening on 10M was very good to all but north EU and UK starting 1345Z Sunday. My FTDX101D would not transmit after break Sunday, finished with FT-1000. A great NA run on 40M Saturday evening!
N8IVNSO HP ALLI got on the air for an hour or so at the beginning of the contest to create some points for PVRC and to see how propagation was. In the process, I was able to pick up a few new countries. On Saturday, I had the opportunity to work with Team WX3B. It's always great fun working with Jim and the team! Until the next one...73, Dennis N8IVN Dennis
N8URESO QRP 40MI noticed there has never been a 40m QRP entry from W3 land, so I put up a 40m dipole and gave it a shot. It definitely wouldn't have worked for DX, but for WPX it wasn't too painful. Thanks all for pulling my small signal out of the noise and QRM. Rig: 5W RS-HFIQ radio and dipole antenna
N8WHSO HP ALLFirst license 02-2021 02-2021
N8WXQSO HP ALLGreat Fun. Had to shut down for thunder storm and later a power outage
N8YXRMSLFirst WPX from the new QTH!!! It was a ton of fun and a great way to finish our normal contest season. Sorry to everyone that thought we should have a higher score. Only have a G5RV up for now. Tower is on its way!!!!!
N9ARXSO LP ALLOnly had limited time to operate, but the bands were in great shape. 10-Meters was a great example of when the band is open, high power is not required to make lots of contacts and have fun. 73's all, Clark de N9ARX, Omaha Nebraska USA
N9ATFSO LP ALLFirst license 07-2021 07/09/2021
N9DMSSO LP 20MA video of how to finish the contest, save the right file(s) and a walk through the steps through submission would be most helpful for newbies. So far I can't find anywhere where anything says if I have Cabrillo 2 or 3. Very confusing
