VE7BGPSO LP ALLCQWPX was a lot of fun again this year
VE7MHISO LP ALLA fine time. Mostly. Parked up in the car, 1/4 wave whips, 100 W. In BC we can get a good start on our Friday, as WPX begins at 1700T (local.) Much fun to be had. A chance to get some before the big hit of NA stns on NA Saturday, then tidy a bit on our Sunday. Condx were fair. The fcsts appeared good, however sometimes there was much noise, or not many folks. Day times there was some amazing QSB on 10 and 15 m. The timing of the slow fade/return was key for Low Power operating. I noticed a few more stns using synth voice. It sometimes worked, other times not so much. One of these used rather awkward 'phonetics' for a letter or two. A few stns were classic alligators, more power out, and if poor RX was not down to local noise, then other inability to hear stns. (Beyond just me!) Glad to get out, catch some familiar call signs and voices. Was fun to work a handful of stns on multiple bands. B1Z might be my first ever BY. I tried very hard for Indonesia to no avail. Operating Classic I noticed those who did not identify. A most interesting behaviour. I've op in M/M so know how the flow may take one, however it's . . . useful to ID. I tried rather uselessly to break the pile up for CY0S. Nice to hear them from coast to coast though. 73 and tnx to all who worked me
VE7YAHSO LP ALLThis was a fun contest once the bands quietened down, on Sunday. Lots of good contacts. Thanks
VE8DAVSO HP ALLRough conditions with auroral dome otherwise good time
VE9CZSO LP ALLI had a hard time keeping a frequency as many of the high power stations just kept overtaking mine. Most of the contest I did search and pounce, which is not easy with a 100 watts and a wire. I worked three new countries and that made me happy. Thanks to all the stations that spotted me. It was very helpful!

VE9FRSO LP ALLFirst license 08-2024
VE9XXSO HP ALLThanks for the QSOs
VJ2JSO LP 10MDay 2 resulting in extraordinary low atmospheric noise, giving me unprecedented receive sensitivity. This resulted in working some amazing stations, including continental EU long path early morning here !! The north African stations were 10/9 long path - as usual. TS890S into a 14.5m long 7 element OWA yagi
VJ2TSO HP ALLFirst time using a contest call in VK. Thanks all for the fun times this weekend
VJ2WSO HP ALLStill a few wide signals but much better than other years, so many big signals who don't hear well or ignore lighter signals from dx stations
VK2BPLSO LP ALL48 Hours Is NOT Long Enough To Submit Log!
VK2KKTSO LP ALLGreat contest, thanks!
VK3AIKSO LP ALLFirst license 05/2025 rookie licence 28/05/2025
VK3KRLSO QRP ALLFirst time entering this contest, low QSO count, but happy with contacts as made new DX SSB QSOs. IC-705 @ 5W with EFHW wire antenna
VK3YSO HP ALLConditions were great and I had a zero noise floor after tracing QRM sources in the shack earlier in the week. Operated the old Icom IC751A and IC2KL amplifier with 3e SteppIR and Dipoles
VK4ATXSO LP ALLRE-Upload, 1st log had 2 errors
VK4XASO LP 10MNot mch time for contesting this time around, I'll try harder next time. :)
VK5GGSO LP ALLGood fun working some good DX in the contest. Looking forward to CQ WPX CW contest for 2026
VK5TSO HP ALLHad a blast!
VK6DDXSO LP ALLI could only operate for short periods between other commitments, it was still fun, thank you to all for an enjoyable contest
VK6DWSO HP ALLHad a few issues with headsets and getting decent settings on my Icom radio. It is way different experience to my old 990. A very entertaining contest. Thanks
VK6MILSO LP ALLGreat to work a few stations all over the world
VK7ACESO HP ALL24 hours only
VL2WSO LP 20MPropagation was very poor in east coast VK. Heard nothing for first five hours. Heard nothing from North America for first 36 Hours. Over all a tuff contest
VL3ESO HP ALLThe bands were open but signal levels were certainly well down. At almost 62 I don't have the stamina for a full 36hrs of operation anymore, rather to operate in stints and enjoy working a pile-up or some juicy/rarish DX or give someone a needed mult. Conditions to the USA were certainly down, with the usual big guns well down on normal signal levels. The number of operators from S.E. Asia especially YB continue to increase and without many QSOs with BY, DU, 9M and YB my score would have been way lower. Gone are the days were I could work 1500 to 2000 QSOs from a modest but capable station in suburban VK. Definitely had fun this time though, with some nice runs on 20m LP to EU. I miss having good propagation to the USA where there is no language barrier (except my darn aussie accent) and the operators are skilled and quick. Thanks for another good show. I am also a tri-bander single element class station
VL4RM2Lost the use of 20m/15m quad too early. Did not complete the contest
