K7NTSA HIGH ALLPretty 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

K8LFSA HIGH ALLGlad 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

KA8HOKSA HIGH ALLWhat 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

KB6NTWSO LOW 40MPortable 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

KE4SSO LOW ALLEnjoying 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
KE8HXESA LOW ALLIt was fun, but I should get better software for contesting... Uploading from QRZ.com is a bit of a task
KE8YGWSA LOW ALLOperator age 19

KF7ESA HIGH ALLIntended 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
KG1ESA HIGH 15MGreat 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
KG9ZSO LOW 160M100 watts 1/8 waave sloper
KH0/WH2JASO LOW 10MI enjoyed the contest. IC-7300 Dipole
KH6AQSO LOW 15MA great contest with good high band conditions at the top of cycle 25
KH6KBSA HIGH 20MMy 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
KI5SXESA LOW ALLFirst license 12-2021 12/08/2021
KJ0ISO HIGH ALLWOW!
KJ3ISO HIGH ALLThe 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
KJ4MSA QRP ALLGreat 10-meter band opening. QSB was fast going from loud to nothing dropping letters. KX2 with SS17 Resonant Vertical and EFHW
KJ6MICSA LOW ALLQRM, QRN, end-fed antenna, not enough time in a day
KJ9CSA HIGH 10MThought I would try single band this time. Nice conditions
KK0USA LOW ALLTen meters was phenomenal!
KK4UZKSA QRP 40MI 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
