| KB9YGD | SO LP ALL | tu fb wpx agn this yr es 73 de kb9ygd |
| KC0DEB | SA LP ALL | What a ride this has been ! Conditions kept suprising me, everytime I expected a band to close someone would pop up. It didn't all go without troubles, the Yagi had some SWR issues that I could not get resolved in time. But the autotuner kept that in check. Somewhere down the line my log skipped a log number, which threw me off. I caught that quick, but not fast enough.. Lost some contacts because of it, sorry if it happens to be you. Also missed a band switch, and lost 2 contacts there as a dupe. I'll write that off as part of the "Contest & Learn " process.... The logging problems will cost me dearly, but all the blame is on me.. I would like to commend all the excellent operators out there who showed great patience while trying to pull my less than 100W signal out of the QRM. THANK YOU ! Conditions are definitly on the rise.... For me it was great to make my 1st 10m contact outside the America's with VK4KW. And a new DXCC contact with ST2AR.(.you my friend sure have sensitive ears , and made my day! ) Let's keep on testing...CUAGN 73 de John |
| KC2FBV | SO LP 20M | Gave me a chance to test my rig for Field Day. First contest since my Mom passed. |
| KC6X | SO HP ALL | Got my best WPX score ever! Definitely improving condx. 20m and 40m phone bands were a zoo most of the time with S-9+ signals and no open frequencies the norm. I only heard the "big gun" European stations on 15m from here on the Left Coast. Too bad it wasn't a stronger opening. 10m has some sustained openings into South America. Maybe next year 10m will really start to shine. |
| KC8YLD | SO LP 20M | My first WPX Contest! Exciting, Educational, Fun, Challenging! |
| KD3HN | SO LP ALL | Low power (90 W) into a 20m doublet and a full-wave 160 loop... fun / exhausting weekend! |
| KD4D/3 | M2 | Wow! This contest is a LOT more fun with 15 meters! We had more QSO's on 15 than 40... Congratulations to K1LZ for a phenomenal M/2 score. Thanks as usual to John Evans for letting us join him at the "farm" in. The highlight for me was having 3D2YY call me on 80 and tell me that I was the loudest North American station on 80 at 20 over! The new three-element delta loop wire beam at 140 feet really plays to 3D2! :-) |
| KD7DCR | SA HP 40M | WHAT A RIDE... I remember hearing a Russian station give out a number "5050" this year...big difference from last year...more bands are open, finally. I'll be back! |
| KD8GRO | SO LP 20M | I worked 4 new DX entities! |
| KD8SQ | SO HP 20M | Had a great time. Been away from contesting for a while, and really enjoyed getting back at it. |
| KE4HUD | SO QRP 40M | FT 817 WITH 2 HAMSTICK ANTENNAs. |
| KE5SNJ | SO LP 10M | I listened from 1500 UTC to 2035 on 3/28 before I made my first QSO. And from 1700 UTC to 000, but no conditions on 3/29. |
