| K4UW | SO QRP 40M | In Memory of my Elmer who embedded CW into head to get my Novice ticket in 1976! Thank-you to Ralph-KA1V |
| K5BG | SA HIGH ALL | Great conditions make it fun for us little pistols. 73, bg |
| K5GN | SO HIGH ALL | No matter the conditions, this is absolutely the best contest of the year. Thanks to the organizers and WWROF |
| K5GQ | SA HIGH ALL | ran 350 watts on 40m other bands 90 watts |
| K5OY | SO LOW ALL | temporary setup with EFHW about 3'-5' HAAT! Was amazed at the stations I did work. Thanks to the great ops and stations that could pull my signal out! 73 steve |
| K5QQ | SO LOW ALL | Santa, My Christmas List: Please replace my dipole with a tower & beam antenna |
| K5RX | SO QRP 15M | I was stupid and downloaded the latest version of N1MM+. It worked fine, mostly, Thursday. But when I booted the computer before the contest, my settings had changed. Also, there was one bug I could not fix. I worked on it well into the contest while trying to work people. It cost me not just time but also much energy. Never again will I update a version unless the older one did not work right in the contest I work |
| K5TD | SA LOW ALL | First license 09-2024 |
| K5VG | SA LOW ALL | Highlights: Working JA on 160m (never before in 54 years of hamming) Clean sweep of KH6J on all 6 bands. See you next year! |
| K5VIP | SA HIGH ALL | 100% S&P with Telnet |
| K5XU | SO LOW ALL | My favorite contest |
| K5ZD | SA HIGH ALL | First big effort from new station in Ohio. It was not the same as W1, but working guys all over the world is always fun! |
| K6FA | SO HIGH ALL | My first 4 QSO's were running remote at 100 watts to check out my remote setup. Checked out good. Then when I got home I went to around 450 watts with my other radio and tried out my new 160 EF antenna as that worked fine with the stations I heard. So good contest for me even though I did not operate long |
| K6NA | SO HIGH ALL | Part-time effort, tuning the Big Knob as usual. Mostly S&P, but had a couple of short CQ-runs into Asia. Conditions were very good, if slightly down from last year. Always exciting to hear all the contest expeditions out there, doing their thing. I know how they feel. I spent two days ahead of the contest re-installing my BOG wire system and coax feeders for the season. This simple 200-foot twinlead wire really enhances receive operation for me on 80 and 160m bands in two directions. Thanks to K1FZ for the hardware needed at each end |
| K6NR | SO HIGH ALL | Conditions were pretty good, although not as good as the SSB version of the contest. Eu signals on 10 meters were fewer/weaker, especially on Saturday. I did 95% search and ponce, with just 2 JA runs. My local QRN makes it hard to copy everyone who called. Thanks for the QSOs, 73, Dana |
| K6RO | SA HIGH ALL | My first CW contest from zone 5..sorry to all the guys who thought I was in Z3 |
| K6ZH | SA HIGH ALL | Not much time to devote to the contest. But I figured I'd better get on 10m and enjoy working a bunch of EU stns from W6 while we still can! Had a decent EU run on 40m on Saturday evening as well. 73 - Jim K6ZH |
| K7ACZ | SA HIGH ALL | Tcvr: IC-7610, Amp: AL-1200, Hi Band ant: F12 C3 at 95 ft, lo band ants: Full size dual Slopers, 2200 ft ASL |
| K7FL | SA LOW 40M | First contest from my Montana remote. Murphy kept his distance. HyTower vertical with 4 radials and K3 barefoot |
| K7NJ | SA HIGH 160M | There were no openings to continental Europe. There was a good JA opening, but only the first night, and JA signals were very weak. Copying the JAs was only possible due to a Beverage pointed directly at them, and even so, the signals were at about the noise floor. The transmitting antenna is a 54 foot vertical with 40 full-size radials. Radio is a K3 modified to a K3S. Amplifier is an ACOM 2020S running 1.5 KW |
| K7TRT | SA LOW ALL | Seven hours of very casual operating. FT-891 @ 100W into 80m EFHW @ 40FT from Montana. Thanks for digging out my modest signal from 7 land. Go Big Sky Contesters! |
| K8GL | SO HIGH ALL | A great contest with some top notch ops. Condx down from last year |
| K8LF | SA HIGH ALL | Great conditions. Holiday weekend so lots of butt not in chair time |
| K8LG | SA LOW 40M | Operator age 19 |
| K8MV | SA QRP 20M | Great contest. Thanks to all the ops who hung in there to copy this QRP station with a vertical. See you next year |
| K8TS | SA LOW ALL | Sure is different without an amp!! |
| K9GA | SO LOW ALL | Thank you to all! |
| KA0PQW | SO LOW ALL | fun contest 73 Matt ka0pqw |
| KA2KGP | SO LOW ALL | CW speeds of 30+ wpm is INSANE ! QRS to reduce re-fills & agn requests |
| KA3DRR | SO LOW ALL | My first ever Parks-to-Radiosport (P2R) international contest from a Parks-On-the-Air designator Carrizo Plain National Monument US-4541 near California Valley, California. My goal? Log as many zones and countries as possible within 5 hours of operation. Needless to say, I totally enjoyed my search and pounce strategy, throughout my visit inside the monument. Visitors were curious with one saying, 'I didn't know they used Morse code anymore.' If anything, Morse code is alive and well, thanks for a great contest. 73. CQ like you mean it. Contest like you own it |
| KA5USN | SO LOW ALL | Spent almost all of Saturday playing with our 18-month-old Granddaughter who was visiting from Savannah |
| KA8HOK | SO HIGH ALL | This contest was a lot of fun as usual. The higher bands were lackluster at the very beginning but built back up pleasantly on Saturday and by Sunday evening the opening to Asia was great. Looking forward to next year CQWW ! |
| KB2URI | SA LOW 10M | Wasn't up to contesting that weekend. Sorry |
| KB3MP | SA LOW 10M | Great condx on 10 throughout, especially for a peanut whistle station with an IC-7300 and a 10M inverted vee @ 30' |
| KB6JFL | SO LOW ALL | All contacts 50 watts |
| KC0V | SO HIGH ALL | Poor conditions for the first 36 hours or so, better for the last 12. Ten and 15 meters were the stars! |
| KC1UBH | SO QRP ALL | Operator age 16 Operator Age: 16 years |
| KC1UEK | SA LOW ALL | First license 04-2024 |
| KC4LZN | SA HIGH ALL | I've had more luck with S&P than a run. I'm sure it's because of the call but I don't think I'll ever change that. I know... be careful what you wish for but I've had this call now for coming on 40 years and sometimes its length is what helps me bust pile ups.it's always fun to work this. I just wish they'd bump it one weekend before or one after. Sure is hard buying time at the rig when company is over, thanksgiving decorations come down and then there is Christmas decorations to be put up. Oh well it is what it is... Always an enjoyable time in the chair no matter how long. 73 until next time |
| KC6ZBE | SA LOW ALL | Always my favorite contest to mess around in. 73! |
| KC7V | SA HIGH ALL | Despite challenging band conditions on 10-20 from out here in the west, there was plenty to do. Could not really run to EU, but JA runs were decent. Had a good 10m run to JA the last couple of hours. That was fun. 40 was good Friday night, not as good Saturday night. Also had a decent 80m run to JA on Sunday morning. Best contest there is in my opinion |
| KC9LA | SA HIGH ALL | Bands were in nice shape! |
