| N7MZW | SO LP ALL | High winds and ice loading was causing an intermittent short in the matching section of my 90 foot long ZS6BKW antenna. I think that I was trying to match just one side of the antenna, and the number of repeats asked for during the contest exchange, seems to confirm this |

| N8II | SO LP 15M | Condx were better than ARRL DX SSB on 15M, but not by much. Only the Mediterranean area of EU was workable and not for long. I may have missed western NA Saturday as the band was in good shape in 22Z hour after a long break. Sunday I barely worked KH6 and added maybe 2 SOCAL Q's only to west. SA was booming in Sunday in the 22Z hour, I had a run of 10 or so SA then |

| N8IVN | SO HP ALL | 80m continues to be the money band from this QTH. And, while I had to drop my power substantially on 40m so that I didn't take out our FIOS, it still afforded me the opportunity to make plenty of contacts. Hopefully, by the next contest Verizon will have taken care of this issue for us. It was good to hear so many of the club members on the bands! While this was a limited operation due to Passover preparations and family visits it was still great fun. Many thanks to those who spotted me. 73 Dennis N8IVN |

| N9TF | SO LP ALL | Bands were rough for this little pistol. Strong signals from EU on 20m both days, just CQd in my face! Attempts to call CQ was painful, and I have the bruises to show! Tough at times to break through EU calling EU in pileups. Saturday was terrible prop NA to EU even though EU was strong here. Storms close by Saturday night pretty much put a lid on 80 and 160. Nice surprise though Saturday morning to hear and work ZM4T on 40m after SR Even better Sunday morning, about the same time after sunrise here, to hear and work not one, but two VKs on 40m. I was shocked to tune across both calling CQ and no takers! Nice to see a bit more activity on 15m and 10m. Mostly SA and Caribbean, but there was even a brief opening on 15m Sunday to NW AF islands and far Western EU. Now it's time to calm the nerves with a nice clean pour of my favorite bourbon! Thanks for sponsoring a fun contest. 73 Gene, N9TF Rig, K3S 100 watts to a 2 element triband and low hanging wires and dipoles for 14/80/160 |

| NA7UT | SO QRP ALL | So much better than last year. The bands seemed to be open, as evidenced by my numerous 15 meter contacts. I really enjoyed the few hours I spent operating this contest |
