KG7WLDSO LP 20Msomebody else's contest. says!). Hopefully I have entered this data correctly, I wouldn't want to mess up tuner to a 20m hamstick dipole. I transmit at about 100w (or so the radio next time I am ready to compete. I run an icom ic-730 through an mfj-941E manual but I still had fun! I'm going to spend more time figuring contests out so that all. I didn't figure out how contests work until the last day of the contest, one, especially as a first contest, so I expect I didn't do particularly well at recently and thought I'd give contests a shot. This seems like a pretty intense Hi! I'm chris and I'm 16 years old. I've been getting really into ham radio

Thanks to everyone for being patient with things to "adjust" and emi issues to find after the contest. fun, but easier 40 years ago... Sure found lots of little from the house.

KN4DXTSO LP ALLLicense: June 14, 2017 Thanks. This was lots of fun and I plan to be better prepared for the next contest. mode in DxKeeper. Also mistakenly skipped #46. This was about the time I started configuring contest the two stations I gave #49 both receive credit since the error was on my side. numbering at #49 with that sequence transmitted to two successive contacts. Hope but switched to DxKeeper after making a few contacts. Had another glitch with serial Loging of received serial numbers started on contact #5. Inital log taken on paper I started the contest casually and did not initially log transmitted serial numbers

Although cndx were poor and band openings spotty with heavy qsb possible. I am grateful to all who said "Glad to see you on the air and battled the intense pain and exhaustion for as long as humanly I operated my favorite contest only 2 1/2 weeks after major surgery
KR1ASO LP ALLI refrained from trying to rotate the 40m vertical

KT5JSO HP ALLThank you George! And also to all who called me. that I have to improve my SSB contest ability a lot. - the best phone contest in the last 15 years for sure. And I realized - it was my first time with it. But I enjoyed whole contest very much strategical mistakes.

KT7GSA HP ALLVery strange propagation, Europe would be there strong, then Not!

LA2GKASO LP ALLThanks for an interesting contest. Hope to join again next time
LA6VQSA HP ALLfrom the fine station of LA4HC in loc. JP20qe. Crowded bands and fierce competition for space, but good fun on 20 m while low wire on 80 and 40 m gave little else than EU on low bands. VK stations were heard and worked. No antennas for 160 m this year, South America and Asia produced far less than expected. Only a very few out too bad. 20 m gave good afternoon runs to North America, while High indices promised slow conditions at 60 deg. N, but it all didn't come
