VA3RSASO LP ALLI operated as Single Operator, Unassisted in the CLASSIC overlay. I used search and pounce 100 percent of the time rotating the radio dial up and down the band one signal at a time. My Equipment, Antenna, and Software: ICOM IC-7300 at 100W. Antenna 1 (20-15-10m): Vertical whip, 21.5 ft long, 4:1 unun at base 3 ft AGL. Two 14 ft horizontal radials 3ft AGL. Antenna 2 (160-80-40m): 66-ft long horizontal wire up 25 ft. Single-wire feed point at 21 ft from one end. The single wire feeder drops down to a 9:1 unun near ground level. There are 20 on-ground radials ranging 13-39 ft. About 50 ft of RG-8X from 9:1 unun to radio shack & ATU. ATUs: Palstar AT2K ATU and/or IC-7300 internal ATU. Software: N3FJP CQ-WPX-SSB logging software. 73, Rich, VA3RSA

VA3SPSO LP 15MHonourable mention to CR6T operator who got held up at the start of the contest on 15m by a last minute precontest QSO with an 87 year old operator, but he nicely completed the contact rather than QSYing to get going. FB!

VE7BGPSO LP ALLCQ WPX was a lot of fun this weekend again. I got to work a lot of great countries
VE7BVSO HP ALLI noticed a lot of offshore stations using digital memories for calling CQ.... but the phonetics are often not even conventional or possible to understand.... many are basey and distorted, and too fast, and the highs have all been removed. Some even use different phonetics in the same call.....Kilo and King...... Quebec and Queen...... some are just to fast and muddled.....then when the persons true voice comes on it is clear.. !!!!
VE7MHISO LP ALLHad an amazing time. Many personal bests and firsts. Tactics and practises continue to evolve. I think it's my third year in this 'test. Glad to keep doing it. Hearing and working many countries/ entities I've never heard in my radio life. Just a fab time. On balance many patient and kind ops. Thanks all for the fun, challenges, contacts.Had an amazing time. Many personal bests and firsts. Tactics and practises continue to evolve. I think it's my third year in this 'test.
