| K7NT | SA HIGH ALL | Pretty amazing what a Spider Beam at 43', inverted vees at 35' and a Hytower can do. Discovered I have terrible noise problems to the east - a higher noise floor and something that comes on occasionally that wipes out 15 and hurts all bands. Tried a VE3DO listening loop and it might have helped on a couple EU QSOs on 80 and 40 - maybe. I should probably get a bandpass filter and a preamp. Best time doing CQWW from a station of my own! Thanks for all of the QSOs! 73, de Mike K7NT |
| K8AC | SA LOW ALL | Vintage gear used: Hallicrafters SX-117, HT-44 |

| K8GL | SO HIGH ALL | An excellent weekend! Thanks! First CQWW was 1963 where I made 2 contacts |
| K8LF | SA HIGH ALL | Glad for the extra weekend in November so this contest does not fall on Thanksgiving weekend. Had no 80M antenna on Saturday night. Had to re-attach one side of 80M loop on Sunday. So missed almost all 80M multis. Only got a few 80M mults on Sunday at contest end. Great Conditions |

| KA5D | SA LOW ALL | First CW Contest! |
| KA6BIM | SA HIGH ALL | Great contest, best conditions I have ever experienced. Worked DXCC on 4 bands! Lots of DX on. Even had a few DX qso's on 6 mtrs. Thanks for all the qso's! Dave ka6bim |
| KA8HOK | SA HIGH ALL | What a load of fun ! At one point I thought my receiver had died. I was on 10 meters in a pileup trying to work E21EIC. The band went totally quiet. I tuned up and down only to realize it was past 2359 on Sunday. All good things must come to an end. Looking forward to next year |
| KB2URI | SA LOW ALL | New personal best score. Only worked Sunday. 10M was wide open. Was a blast. I Had FUN. :) |
| KB6JFL | SO LOW ALL | 50 watts efhw |
| KB6NTW | SO LOW 40M | Portable ops on vacation in Inverness, CA (CM88nc), using an IC-705 with 10W output into a JPC-12 loaded vertical with 18' whip and severely compromised placement. Limited operating time. Made 7 contacts, and only one of those DX! Still, a fun night of CW |
| KC1TNO | SA HIGH ALL | First license 07-2022 |
| KC3MIO | SA QRP 10M | 11/3/2018 |
| KC4LZN | SA LOW ALL | Wow. 10m just absolutely blew me away. I got 30 of 40 multipliers on that band alone. What a blast to hear so many stations. Always a fun contest. Looking forward to the next one while the conditions stay with us! |
| KC4TEO | SO HIGH ALL | Great contest, participation and conditions. Very pleased, wish I had operated more and slept less! |
| KD2SRI | SA LOW ALL | 12-15 Watts!! |
| KD6X | SA HIGH 10M | Thanks to all the volunteers who make this contest happen! It's my absolute favorite contest of the year. What a blast, and my best contest result ever. (500 watts to a temporary hex beam at 25 feet in an HOA community.) |
| KD7KDO | SO LOW ALL | Great patience and good band conditions. Loved making contacts all over the world :) |
| KD8W | SO LOW ALL | Tnx for sponsoring, Cannot operate long periods anymore but had fun. Rig is IC7300, and all dipoles homebrew 160 vert, 80/40 trap, 20/15/10 trap |
| KE0IAT | SA LOW ALL | Flex 6400 Antennas: Butternut, Inveted L |
| KE4S | SO LOW ALL | Enjoying a bit of the contest while setting up my new K4D, building the station PC, and completely rebuilding my operating position. No way to make a great score, but a few points for the club and certainly looking good to the future. Thanks for the contacts |
| KE8HXE | SA LOW ALL | It was fun, but I should get better software for contesting... Uploading from QRZ.com is a bit of a task |
| KE8YGW | SA LOW ALL | Operator age 19 |
| KE8ZYD | SA LOW ALL | Operator age 11 YOUTH 2013 - My name is Kirsten and I'm 11 years old. I had so much fun! This was my first CW contest I have operated in! 73 KE8ZYD |
| KF0IDT | SA LOW ALL | First license 03-2022 This was my first CW contest ever |
| KF0NRV | SO LOW ALL | First license 09-2023 Rookie |
| KF7E | SA HIGH ALL | Intended to 'just make a few QSOs on 10 meters to comemorate the Cycle 25 peak it was fun. Just sorry I had other time constraints |
| KG1E | SA HIGH 15M | Great band conditions to nearly all parts of the world on 15 Meters. Surprised to work 38 Zones. Never heard anyone in Zone 34 and 37. Thanks go to all those that copied my signals on this crowded band using only a 15 Meter dipole at 75 feet. Hope next year is as good. 73 AL KG1E |
| KG9Z | SO LOW 160M | 100 watts 1/8 waave sloper |
| KH0/WH2JA | SO LOW 10M | I enjoyed the contest. IC-7300 Dipole |
| KH6AQ | SO LOW 15M | A great contest with good high band conditions at the top of cycle 25 |
| KH6KB | SA HIGH 20M | My first time entering as single operator, single band in CQWW. Thanks to Lloyd KH6LC for offering his station, much better equipped for 20 Meters than mine. It was a lot of fun and probably the most QSOs I have logged in a contest to date. Band conditions seemed pretty good |
| KI5SXE | SA LOW ALL | First license 12-2021 12/08/2021 |
| KJ0I | SO HIGH ALL | WOW! |
| KJ3I | SO HIGH ALL | The unassisted category should receive greater consideration in points. Some stations ID'd infrequently. Operating without assistance in the current operating environment is like tying both hands behind your back in a fight. I doubt I will ever do that again. Generally ops seemed courteous |
| KJ4M | SA QRP ALL | Great 10-meter band opening. QSB was fast going from loud to nothing dropping letters. KX2 with SS17 Resonant Vertical and EFHW |
| KJ6MIC | SA LOW ALL | QRM, QRN, end-fed antenna, not enough time in a day |
| KJ9C | SA HIGH 10M | Thought I would try single band this time. Nice conditions |
| KK0U | SA LOW ALL | Ten meters was phenomenal! |
| KK4UZK | SA QRP 40M | I had a great time working Europe, S. America, W. Asia, and several new (to me) DX entities. QRP made it hard to reach some distant stations, but it was still a lot of fun. Thanks all! 73, Jordan, KK4UZK |
