K2GMY/6SO QRP 15MRunning 4 watts input is fun and interesting, but being last in line too work a high-poowered station sure takes a long, long time to get a QSO !! Dick - K2GMY
K2YGMSO QRP ALLMostly S&P here with QRP. Worked mostly 15M and some 20. Lots of fun running the KX3
K3CCRSO HP ALLK3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. We planned to do Multi-2 in the 2016 WPX SSB but then W3GB was busy, and in town only part of the weekend. So I (N3UM) operated SOHP TB-Wires instead. At the start fast S&P worked OK on 40 m., then on 20 m. with beam on SA. EUs weak on 40 and 80 m. Quit 0317 Z. Could not get runs going any time on Sat. But, Sun. was better Qs in 41 min. for 92.5/hr. Daytime, starting 1336 on 15 m. got 87 Qs in 1 hr. Early PM Sun. 20 m. was steady but slow. At 2045 Z I tried 10 m. and did better than computer prop. forecasts had promised beaming S or SE. Total BIC time was a laid-back 15 hrs

K6MUGSO LP ALLThe bands crashed on Sunday. For the first I tuned across 20 meters on a contest day without using the notch filter. The only saving grace was propagation from South America on 10 meters
K6RAH/5SA HP ALLBand conditions only 'fair'
K6SCASO HP ALLLogged more contacts than in previous years but couldn't find the multipliers needed to break a 1/2 million points
K7VITSA HP ALLI heard that big, new multi-multi outfit on this WPX contest on several of the bands. I had trouble getting the prefix of their call. The suffix of the call came through clearly just about every time: "QRZ." There was a point of irony. When QRZ made calls, he often got an immediate answer. A couple of times I heard QRZ get more than a little bit frustrated with the station responding to his call. QRZ yelled, "I need your call, gimme your call." I just had to smile as QRZ dropped his abbreviated 3-letter call out again. I need to look at the ITU information again. Does anyone know which entity it is that allows Q-Signals to be issued as ham-call suffixes? Thanks to the QRZ-multi-multi effort and all the others who answered my calls. 73, Jerry
