| W3RE | SA HIGH ALL | Great Time this year with a part time effort. The new Flex dream station worked well! |
| W3SM | SO HIGH ALL | Many thanks for the Q's |
| W3TB | SA LOW ALL | W3TB in Franklin, TN Tennessee Contest Group |
| W4AX | SA HIGH ALL | K5JR Op, remote |
| W4RKU | SA LOW ALL | Thanks for sponsoring the contest! |
| W4VIC | SA HIGH ALL | Thanks for the Qs. 73, Vic W4VIC |
| W4ZTH | SO LOW ALL | Lots of fun this year |
| W6JTI | SO QRP ALL | During the first half of the contest conditions were poor at my N CA QTH. Conditions were better on Sunday. Thanks to all who managed to copy my 5W. When an opr miscopies my call as WB1TI I do my best to correct that opr by sending 'W6 W6 W6 W6JTI'. Sometimes that works, but often it does not |
| W6QU | SO QRP ALL | I first entered this contest when I was a 16 yrs old W8QZA. I was in a 3 op multi op entry and we 3 kids made 44 QSOs in the low power class! I have now entered this contest 37 CONSECUTIVE years since 1989 and it is as thrilling as the first! |
| W7DRA | SO LOW 160M | same old same old rx-hq100/ext roofing filtr/narrow band xtal filter/BC453 with a ts consisting an ARC5 vfo/6ag7-807 keyed exciter and two 805s n parallel at abut 90 watts output and a half fallen down inverted L with a counterpoise |
| W7EW | SO HIGH ALL | Nice little contest! It is too bad that people do not listen to the station that everyone is trying to work and keep trying to slip their signal in when the desired station has responded to at least part of the call that that station is trying to complete with. In other words, STFU if you are not the call that the other station responded to. Brute power does not work in the NFL or NBA either. You displaying your idiocy for everyone present if you keep sending your callsign and will be made fun of at the best and cursed roundly at the worst! |
| W8BI | CHECKLOG | Just messing around for a couple hours after work |
| W8RU | SO LOW ALL | Nice conditions, limited time. Thanks for the QSOs and 73! -Ron (W8RU) |
| W8VX | SA LOW ALL | My first CQ WW contest! |
| W8WA | SO LOW 10M | Good condx... My wife had emergency gallbladder removal the following Friday and I did not getn my log in on time - extenuating circumstances |
| W8XAL | SA HIGH ALL | This was my first time working this contest from home with legal limit and a 3 element steppir. Really had fun and enjoyed every QSO |
| W8YV | SO HIGH ALL | 10 was awesome and 40. Tnx for fun contest |
| W9RNK | SO LOW ALL | Good session once I got the tools working together! :-) |
| W9YK | SA HIGH ALL | glad to be heard with wires |
| WA1ONB | SO LOW ALL | Limited time on a holiday weekend but still fun. 80m skyloop + hexbeam + 10m Moxon Condx were good, not great |
| WA2AEY | SO LOW ALL | Great contest even though condition could have been better Saturday. Lots of great dx! I didnt hear anything from China though! This is by far the best contest on the planet. See you all next time! 73 |
| WA3EOQ | SO LOW ALL | It would be nice if lots of ops would slow down their cw speed. New contesters are probably turned off by 35+ wpm. I just tune past them |
| WA3KCP | SA HIGH ALL | Over the river and through the woods... finally jumped in Sat evening. Tickled to work a dozen stations across 4 continents on all 4 bands, including FRC's PJ2T, V26K & V47T amazed to log VK9DX (10M), 3B9KW (15M) & 3B8M (10/15/20M). Spent more time finding juicy mults using N1MM+ features, probably should've logged more USA QSOs. IC7300, 4BTV vertical, 40/20/15/10 General bands |
| WA5LFD | SA HIGH ALL | 200 watts into a G5RV at 35ft...thanks for the Q's...73 Rich WA5LFD |
| WA6KHK | SA HIGH ALL | Felt good to work a South Korea station with my vertical just before Craig, K9CT! |
| WA9FZB | SO LOW ALL | Well, on Friday evening and Saturday the bands were lousy here, but since I had to spend some hours shoveling snow, I let it be. Then Sunday came along, and the fun was back. Although my score was nowhere near a personal best, it was still a LOT of fun. Let's do it again! |
| WB2FQL | SA HIGH ALL | 59 YEARS OF HAMMING AND NEVER ENTERED BEFORE...GOOD BAND CONDX AND WAS LOT OF FUN ! SET A GOAL OF 100 CONTACTS...I EXCEEDED THAT GOAL BY FAR..MOST EXCITING CONTACT FOR ME KH6 ON 80 METERS... 73 WB2FQL-GARY 59 YEARS OF HAMMING AND NEVER ENTERED BEFORE...GOOD BAND CONDX AND WAS LOT OF FUN !

| WB8AKW | SA HIGH ALL | Lots of fun this year. Conditions average |
| WB9G | SA LOW ALL | Only had a few hours on a busy holiday weekend. Thanks for the QSOs. 73, Chris WB9G |
| WD5N | SA LOW ALL | Just returning to the air after 25 years inactive. Located in HOA neighborhood so limited to low wire antennas |
| WD8DSB | SO LOW ALL | Part time all search and pounce effort. Missed the first night as I was waiting for UPS to deliver a new relay for my TS-180s which is almost 46 years old. UPS arrived at around 1630 UTC on Saturday, quickly installed the relay, and made my first contact at 1713 UTC. Goal was to make 100 contacts to test the rig to make sure it's ready for next weekends ARRL 160 meter contest but as always I started chasing the numbers (number of QSO's, score, etc.) and wound up with 326 QSO's from my very small station. I did keep track of the Battle of the Titans on the scoreboard (EF8R(N6MJ), CQ9A(KL9A), and 5J1DX (ND7DX)) throughout the contest which was a lot of fun and my non ham wife even enjoyed the shootout updates:) Transceiver: Kenwood TS-180s with my Hi-Per Mite active audio filter (200 Hz bandwidth). 160 and 80 meter TX antenna: 68 foot base loaded vertical with 55 short ground radials (2500 total feet of ground radials and not a complete circle around the base). 40/20/15/10 meter TX antenna: 40 meter EFHW mounted horizontally 20 feet up. RX antennas used mostly on 160 and 80 meters: 3 approximate half size pennants pointed 40, 160, and 300 degrees. 73, Don (wd8dsb) |
| WF4V | SO LOW ALL | Excellent 10 meter conditions despite low SSN |
| WG3J | MULTI-TWO | we had a great time bands were good not great but worked alot of great dx |
| WH2JA | SO LOW 10M | I enjoyed the contest |
| WI5D | SA LOW ALL | First time. Had a blast! |
| WN7S | SA HIGH ALL | Eu Guys have great ears to hear my small signal! |
| WO2X | SA HIGH ALL | Operating cut short due to family commitments |
| WQ3O | SA HIGH ALL | Disaster struck. The rig decided to die Saturday morning, completely taking the wind out of my sails and had me log off for the rest of the contest |
| WQ6X | SA QRP ALL | This was another last minute QRP operation from the WA6TQT Superstation in Anza. Having access to stacked arrays made up for running only 5-watts. The problem was people jumping on my run frequencies w/o asking QRL first. I pick ODDBALL run frequencies, so if you are calling CQ on top of me, that is NO accident. My QRP signal busted many HUGE pileups caused by people not following the operators instructions. When he asks 'WQ6?' and you send your KB6LID callsign on top of me, then you waste everybody's time. So, when the pandemonium subsides I slip the WQ6X call in ONCE, make the QSO and exit the morass of poor operating ethics - leaving them to fight it out amongst their chaotically-created MESS. The variety of CooL countries on the air this weekend was AMAZING. Altho noisy space-WX, the propagation was quite nice - despite weaker signals from central Europe. The K3/0-mini picked them up nicely, except when the RX front-end would overload (preamp off) and the AGC would drop the RX gain. I thought the K3 was supposed to have the BEST Dynamic Range - guess knot. LooK for a write-up on this at: http://WQ6X.Blogspot.com |
| WS4K | SA HIGH ALL | This is the first time I used N3FJP to help spot. I had a great time, but I had to really follow the propagation. This was my best score yet! |
| WT3Q | MULTI-ONE HIGH | FIRST TIME OUT WITH NEW ANTENNAS THANKS AA1K AND N3TTT VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS |
| WT8P | SA HIGH ALL | Worked a little bit both days, but hugely distracted by the rare, fall days |
| WU4G | SA LOW 15M | Skookumlogger, Flex 6600M, 40M EDZ open wire feed, 160M Fullwave loop open wire feed |
| WV4AM | SA LOW ALL | Operator age 15 I was a little worried about the conditions, but they weren't too bad this year. In fact, it was actually pretty good, considering the DX I was able to get on 40m. Had lot of fun and look forward to breaking my goals again next year! Thanks for all the Q's, -Jake, WV4AM |
| WW3S | SA HIGH 15M | 15m single band entry, other qsos submitted as check log only, only worked new DX Marathon counters |
| WW4LL | SO LOW 20M | Fractured my spine the week before so shouldn't have spent so much time in the chair, but it was still fun! |
| XE1AY | SO LOW ALL | With my hex beam 3m high but with problem in 20 meters too much ROE and my dipole not could heard sometimes. But I have fun |
| XE2B | SA LOW ALL | After being absent las year due to a medical issues , I managed to get my 2nd best score ever since 2014. I enjoyed the thrill of running good rates on the upper bands. called by zone 40 on the last 30 minutes of the test (JW) |
