| N8II | SO LP ALL | Good condx on 75M but activity low 2nd night. Surprised to work D4C on 10M and run PU stations. 20M was a zoo, too many wide signals, too many with poor audio |

| N9OU | SO LP 40M | In a weekend planned for WPX, the XYL had other plans, and the weekend quickly became a weekend of "honey-dos" and family time (no complaints about the family time). Since I don't have a permanent station (every contest is Field Day for me!), I didn't even get a chance to set up the antenna and rig outside on the lanai until around 2200Z on Saturday. Chores done, kids in bed, I managed to get on the air just shy of 0145Z, on Sunday, with over half of the contest over! Since I only have dipoles, and since it was already late, I decided to concentrate only on 40m, which meant I didn't have to waste time changing dipole elements. Of course, this would be the contest where I hear that 20m was "The Place" to be! After 100 Qs of mostly S&P, I called it quits. It wasn't until 1800Z Sunday when I finally got time again, but the bands went from the complete chaos of the night to silence during the local afternoon. I managed to get 25 more Qs between other honey-dos before the competition was over. Still fun and added to my DXCC count any radio time is always appreciated. Here's hoping next year will be less honey-dos and more Qs! |

| NE4EI | SO HP ALL | I had an accidental jump in my serial numbers from 134 to 144. I discovered the error at serial number 147. I then made contacts for serial numbers 135 thru 143. Then picked up serial number 148 and continued on. Thus the time of contacts will be out of order. I can be contacted by email for any questions |

| NU5A | SO HP 20M | Errands and brush clearing and church and visiting Mom, etc. Was able to get on for just a bit more than just the last hour, but it was fun and I think a lot of guys needed this mult. Condx sounded fairly good at the end. CU full time in the CW leg |

| NX6T | SA LP ALL | This is a reverse-call portable operation from W7AYT's QTH in Concord. Being that my WQ6X callsign was in use by the usual gang of operators (@NX6T) in Fallbrook, I reciprocated by running as NX6T at W7AYT's QTH in Concord, Ca. The FT-1000mp ran superbly throughout, altho a serial port problem on Friday disrupted the CAT connection between N1MM+ and the radio. On Saturday, some cable futzing shifted the com ports about resuming the RigExpert's CAT relationship with the FT-1000mp. Fixing a bad feeder line on the WQ6X Lazy 8JK Sloper brought it back to life, but for this contest, receive only - all QSOs were made with the Comet CH-250 vertical.
