VC3DSO LP ALLWPX was a total disaster this year. It took the first 30 minutes of contest time for me to work out that the logging problem was a faulty keyboard. Even a 2x1 call wasn't enough to get me noticed. 100 watts and a G5RV surely limits you. Next year a quad and more efficient antennas on 160, 80 and 40 will help. Still a BLAST!

VE100VIMYChecklogDecided that the call sign was costing stations more time than they were gaining for the unique multiplier! NOT DX! VE100VIMY Commemorative Station Society HQ in BC See www.ve100vimy.ca

VE9CBSO HP ALLWith 10 completely dead and 15 nearly so, the crowding on 20 and 40 metres was incredible. Thorugh all that crowding on 20, I was thrilled to be called by two BYs, one HS and two long-path VK2s. On 40m, my wire 4-square really performed well. This was the best of low-sunspot conditions, with no disturbances at all

VK2LEESO LP ALLVVV Difficult conditions. I believe most Yagi's in USA were pointed to Japan/Europe/Asia which means VK is on the side of the beam approx. although My tribander is only at 20 feet with no rotator at present. Need to get it back up the tower. VK2LEE
