W7RYSA QRP ALLOnly operated for 16 hours. Conditions were really good! Although the polar flutter was horrible on late Sunday afternoon. What a cool thing to work the world, with 5 watts and a dipole (on 80 and 40) and a small tri-bander at 40 feet from a city lot in Southwest Missouri. LOTS of stations on the air. Thanks to those who endured my constant calling but you have to be pretty aggressive when running 5 watts. 73, Jim W7RY
W7VOSA HIGH ALLGreat band conditions! Thanks to everybody for the Qs. Rig: FT1000D/Henry 3KA amp Ant: 3 ele SteppIR, 40M shorty-forty, dipole for 80M, 1/4 sloper for 160M

WA2LMCSA LOW ALLSet a personal record for myself. Had fun and the bands were great. See everyone next year
WA3KCPSA HIGH ALLGo FRC! My first serious attempt with modest station (IC7300 100w 40M, ALS606 600w 20/15/10M, vertical) & exploiting the operator assisted software features (N3FJP). Amazing what one can do with some preparation, encouragement, determination, inspiration ... ok, and some favorable conditions (both here at the QTH & up in the sky)!
WA6KHKSA HIGH ALLNot in new QTH yet. Only used vertical. 72 footer has been down for 3 weeks!
WA6URYSO HIGH ALLOperated remote from Tokyo, Japan
WB2AMUSO LOW 80MMy 80 Meter antenna was loading up pretty good in the CW portion, and I was happy to make QSOs on the band during the solar peak. It was fun!
WB2FUESO LOW ALLNICE TO SEE 10M OPEN SO MUCH!!
WB6CIASA HIGH ALLtnx fer the QSOs
WB7QMRSA LOW ALLFlex6300, Hamstick or MadDog coil vert, SDC-skimmer
WB7UOFSO LOW 10MNot much time to operate, but jumped in to give some guys a few points
WD6TSA HIGH ALLCasual SO during breaks from N6RO M/M, but it's my most quasi-serious Single Op in WW yet, as I'm almost always doing multis. Loved it
WD8DSBSO LOW ALLPart time effort using just wire antennas and my 44 year old Kenwood TS-180s. Almost all search and pounce, and was also a part time operator at at W9VW. Just wanted to make 100 QSO's but then set a goal of 100,000 points which was easy to achieve since 10 meters was in such good shape. Lots of fun. 73, Don wd8dsb
WE6ZSA HIGH ALLAwesome band conditions
WG3JMULTI-TWOhad a great time band condx were the best in years cant wait to do it again
WI0WASO HIGH ALLOperator age 20 Date of birth: June 13, 2004 *NOTE: W0AAE was monitored by N0NI for the duration of the contest.*
WN6ASA HIGH ALLFirst license 04-2022 Entering as a ROOKIE
WO2XSA HIGH ALLTried to get on contest but with torn tricep in left arm found it too much pain and tough one handed
WO7TSA QRP 10MHaving started the contest on Saturday morning on 10M, it led to me never leaving 10M, for the period of time I could commit and run QRP in the contest. Was aiming for DXCC in a single weekend but just made it to 84 countries worked all on 10M
WP3CSO LOW ALLI did 24 hours to participate in the 'Classic' category but I did 2BISQ. I didn't read the rules before the contest :(
WQ6XSA QRP ALLThis was another ad-hoc QRP operation running REMOTE from Ramona California (SDG) utilizing a 3-EL Stepp-IR, 2-EL Shorty-40 and 80m Coaxial Bazooka, all peaked out at around 55' above the hilltop QTH. Running FULL-BLOWN Stereo CW (see my Blogs on this) in conjunction with the K3's DNR circuit (which is AWEsome on Cw) made for some amazing ear-chair copy. 10 & 15 meters stayed open past 10pm Friday evening and was open at 8am when I came back on after a productive 40/80 shift to Asia. While many OPs experienced Sunday as also awesome, for WQ6X remote from Ramona it was a HO-Hummer. While I ran many frequencies, because of my 5-watt power level, stations with BIG AMPLIFIERS often moved 'next door' and took things over. NoT surprising, they made FEW QSOs on those frequencies and left. Be nice to us QRP stations, we often have desirable callsign prefixes (like WQ6) that other stations are looking for.

WR4ISO QRP ALLworked JA's w/qrp! First in years!
WT2PSA HIGH ALLOperated the NJ4P station
WU4GSO QRP 10MSkookumlogger, Flex 6600M, 40M EDZ fed with ladder line. This one really pushed my CW copying abilities. I'm sure I messed up a few. More practice
WV4AMSA LOW ALLOperator age 14 Absolutely just astounding. Everything. Conditions, signal strengths, just everything. First contest that I got 1,000,000 points in, very proud of myself. I said I'd never get 1,000,000 points on my own. Here I am now. . . Grandpa (W9SN) let me use his remote station for the contest located in Allardt, TN. He was also using the station, but 15m only, so I couldn't use 15m. But I still had a blast on 20m/10m. Got many new band-countries with this contest. Thank you to all and 73's, hope to see you in the next contest! -Jacob, WV4AM
WV7MSSO LOW ALLFirst license 02-2022
WX8SESMade some improvements to remote base setup since CQWW DX SSB last month. Having a rotatable Hexbeam antenna was a treat! Hoping to soon have a true SO2R capable setup once I get the hardware and bugs worked out
