| N6IC | SA HIGH 20M | Always fun with good activity |
| N6RV | SA HIGH ALL | Best contest ever! |
| N6VOH | SA HIGH ALL | This was a fun contest. PT effort. Bands were in OK shape. Lots of activity |
| N6XI | SO HIGH 10M | Superb 10M conditions! |
| N6YEU | SO LOW ALL | Unbelievable conditions! This had to be my best ever CQWW. What an absolute blast. 10 meters was hot! so many great ops with good ears |
| N7BBQ | SO QRP ALL | First license 01/2022 First CW Contest! 5W Portable at Picacho Peak State Park in AZ (POTA US-1065 and WWFF KFF-1065) FX-4CR and NFJ 17' Telescoping Whip |
| N7JI | SO QRP ALL | Wow. Best conditions ever. Two dipoles and 5 watts |
| N7SE | SO LOW ALL | Thanks for another great CW contest |
| N7US | SA HIGH ALL | Didn't plan on entering, much less spending 21 hours, but excellent conditions made me do it! Started three hours late and took frequent breaks. Focused on mults most of the time. Almost all S&P. Lots of JAs the last two hours on 10 and 15. Surprised to work 146 countries, though that includes some that CQ counts and ARRL/DXCC doesn't, including 15 Qs with China, plus ZA, 3B8, 3B9, HS, and other unusual ones. 89' crank-up but up only 55', 4L SteppIR, 2L 40, 80M sloper, and 160M inverted vee |
| N7VS | SO LOW ALL | Thank you for hosting another interesting, and fun, contest. I hope to be more active next year. 73, Steve N7VS |
| N8AP | SO QRP ALL | Sure kept me busy all weekend |
| N8II | SO LOW ALL | Some fantastic conditions at times, worked China zone 23 and 24 both on 20 and 15 M! Frenzied activity on 10M when open to EU, about half of my QSO's were on 10M. Somewhat disappointing Asian openings on 10, but excellent on 15 and 20 M |
| N8VWY | SO LOW ALL | IC-7100, VIRBOPLEX SINGLE PADDLE, ARDUINO KEYER, HOMEBREW LOGGER, WIRE ANTENNAS, TU ALL GL 73 |
| N9FZ | SA LOW ALL | First license 09-2022 First ham license date 7-Sept-2022 |
| N9MSG | SA LOW ALL | zs6bkw @50 ft , 100W |
| N9OK | SA HIGH ALL | These were the best conditions across the board (except for 80M) that I've experienced since 2008, when I reentered the hobby. In particular 10M and 160M were exceptional with quite a few ATNO. CW is not really my thing but I really enjoyed this contest. 80M was ok but had an S7 noise level at my QTH |
| N9TF | SA LOW ALL | Always a crap shoot for which bands will be propagating best for 100 watts and a ground mounted multi band vertical station. Looks like 10 and 40m were on the menu this weekend from this location in TN. I hit 40m at the gun and was pleasently surprised how well I was able to work DX. In no traffic, it was one call and done. In traffic, that was another story! Even 80m was working pretty well. 20M, not so much. Saturday was going to be a shared day of yard work and contesting. Basically in the operating chair when there was time to break away from fall yard duties and getting the house ready for the holidays. 10m was hot early in the morning, and like 40m, Qs were coming easy. Tried running a few times, but zero luck. For what ever reason, 15 and 20 were no where as hot as 10 and 40m. I had a couple hours to contest Sunday morning before my contest time clock alarm would sound the end. I was hoping for a little from 15m Sunday morning to help propell me over 500 Qs, but not in the cards. 15m here was terrible with polar flutter and strong multipath echos into many parts of EU. 10m was still hopping though and I was able to make a few more Qs there before the the alarm sounded. Always a fun contest. Now to get ready for CQWW160! 73 Gene, N9TF 100 watts to 6BTV ground mounted modified w/160m inverted L parallel wire at feed |
| N9WKW | SA LOW ALL | My first time working a contest from my car! I was able to run 80 watts with Shark Hamstick Antennas, and almost made 200 QSOs! |
| NA5TT | SA LOW ALL | Let's start with my excuses :-) First contest in 20 years. 90 watts into a vertical whip planted in the yard. CW is hard work. I operated for about 13 hours spread over the weekend, S&P only. This contest was very rewarding and my CW skills improved. Thanks for the patience of all the excellent operators out there! |
| NB2P | SA HIGH 40M | Very nice conditions on 40! |
| ND0C | SO QRP ALL | Very good (and interesting) propagation on 10-40! |
| ND0L | SA LOW ALL | Enjoyed spending a little more time on the air this year. Rotor motor burned out halfway through! |
| ND8D | SA HIGH ALL | Helene knocked over the hy-tower, 40M on temp wire |
| NF0N | SA HIGH ALL | Great 10 meters for this contest |
| NG2P | SA HIGH ALL | I am a fair CW operator but this one was fun. I was band limited as well as 20 meters was not available but with 10m wide opened, who cares. I was not out to compete, just to have fun in a mode I can use the practice at |
| NI0K | SO HIGH 80M | Single band 80M stations, even less dx sigs hrs after sunset vee. Granted his 80M 2 element Yagi was doing the heavy lifting, but I did still beat the pileup by using XIT |
| NI1Q | SA LOW ALL | Other than 80M band performance was pretty well balanced. I enjoy this contest and my beam was very helpful, but I really need to reconsider my low band antennas. I am reluctant to go high power, but I think my next lowband antennas should be rated for it |
| NK8O | SO QRP ALL | Worked from KFF-6352 Hazel Hill Lake |
| NL7V | SO HIGH ALL | Had fun in contest. Good CW practice |
| NO2D | SO QRP ALL | Things are great for QRP when 10 meters is open |
| NO9E | SA HIGH ALL | Flex 6600 + PG XL amp. Antennas: JK Mid Tri 40 JK Mid at 20m on 30m tower. 10-20m Spiderbeam at 12m and separate 2 el 10-20 for the Southeast. 4 sq for 80m and loaded tower on 160m. 7 Beverages 150-250m. Pretty good conditions except on 80m although 10m was not as hot as during last CQWW phone. Also, my QTH was surprisingly free of serious powerline RFI. I tried to maximize QSO count and hoped for 3k QSOs, deliberately choosing runs instead of multipliers. Still my best result so far, especially point-wise. I tried SO2R with Flex. It seemed to work but required more skills than I had. Still I managed to work JA and ZL on 80 while running on 20m. The end of the day was running on 40m starting before the sunset. Signals were initially very unstable on a beam but well readable in diversity with a beverage. Unfortunately Flex cannot handle diversity and SO2R at the same times. I tried working Far East for multipliers on 10-15. Difficult with one beam but much easier with phased beams. Unfortunately TIC Ring for the lower beam is not reliable so I am restricting its use |

| NU5DE | SO LOW 15M | A little part time on the weekend |
| NU7I | SO LOW ALL | Enjoyed fantastic propagation this contest weekend! It never ceases to amaze me the miracle of reaching out over 11,000 miles from a tiny 70-Watt CW signal transmitted through a compromise vertical antenna set up just sitting on a tripod in the back yard! |
| NU8A | SO HIGH ALL | First time using high power. Still using a single wire antenna for all bands |
| NV9X | SO LOW ALL | Did this one unassisted |
| OE1OPW | SA QRP 10M | very good condx. QRP with 5W |

| OE4A | SO HIGH ALL | The man and his radio: I love it. Great event and conditions. Many thanks to my host and all of you who made this weekend unforgettable. I wrote a few lines on 3830scores.com. 73 Suad, DK6XZ/E77XZ |
| OE5OHO | SA HIGH ALL | The mother of all contests. You simply have to love it. No antennas for 80 and 160. Nice to meet so many friends on the air. Can´t wait for next year |
| OE8TED | SA HIGH 80M | 80m in fairly good shape at low noise level. It was fun but many stations stayed on the highbands. TX-Ant 1/4WL vertical, RX-Ant active phased array |
| OG1F | MULTI-ONE | Great time! |
| OG2X | SO HIGH 10M | Thanks. 10 M was in a good shape as I could reach CA / W6 |
| OG6N | SA HIGH ALL | Station not in a very good shape but a lot of fun anyway! |
| OH0V | SA HIGH ALL | Thank you everybody. Hear you in 2025 |
