VY0ERCSA HP 20MIt was complicated ... The plane taking us out arrives today, and we had to pull most of the antennas out yesterday. The extra energy needed around dealing with various aspects of COVID-19 meant I didn't really have it for the contest. Oh well

W1HSSA HP ALLThis is one of my favorite contests, really wanted to operate multi single with my son (KC1GDW), and band conditions were quite favorable for that. However, circumstances would not allow and was only able to put in minimal effort as a single operator

W2AABSO LP 40MS&P Only. 100 watts and a wire make for a grind on SSB. Erratic propagation required many repeats. Rig problems made things even tougher. Got to get the rig fixed before the CW weekend!

W3FOXSA HP ALLThis was my first experience operating the WPX contest and was not knowled geable about the best strategies. We had a thunderstorm with lightening in our are a on Friday night and it delayed me getting started at 0000Z because I disconnec ted the antennas, rotator cable, and the power cord for the amp. When I got on, I concentrated on 40 and 80 meters which was open to Europe. My 160 meter has issues and did not operate on 160. I chased multipliers at th e start and into Saturday, but did a few runs on Sat. and Sun.The last two o r three hours of the contest were the most productive for Q's. Didn't work an y new DXCC slots. Rig K4KIO Hex beam for 20, 15, and 10. Using RUMLogNG software for logging and contest. Being cooped up at home was a benefit to operating, but I did manage to get a full night's sleep on both Friday and Saturday night

W3TTTSO LP 40MMy usual complaint: stations that 'run' but don't identify well. If a recording is made, then there is one or two letters of the call which are not clear. The OP keys the recording again and again, I hear it over and over and don't understand the third letter

W4DASSA LP ALLAlways liked this contest because almost everyone is a multiplier. So I decided to have fun and make 100 contacts with 100 mults. 100 watts and a ground mounted vertical makes it hard to compete with most signals. Thanks for digging me out of the mud in many cases
