HB9CVQSA QRP 10MNear by Contest station DD1A (South Germany, Singen, near Lake Constanz) , were I am a CW crew member, could not be activated this time, based on unfinished repair jobs and too many operators on sick leave. Therefore I participated as SOP QRP from home. What an experience...reminds me of Low band CW QSOing from the car , a station wagon automobile, while driving. QRP setup: FTDX101MP 5W , Steppir DB18E (3 el. Yagi), see https://www.qrz.com WX: 20cm snow , 10m band closed around 19:00Z , pretty good condx on 10m. Was my first ever CW QRP contest ... be aware, patience is needed -). -Bonus: Good for operator skill training as a big gun!

IB9TMULTI-ONEWe had two goals for this contest in which we participated in the High Power category.The first one was to take advantage of the predictable good propagation conditions, to have a lot of fun making good pileups, which are usually not possible in the Low Power category the second was to improve our personal HP top score, set operating the IR9Y call in 2011. We achieved the first one with great satisfaction for all operators. Unfortunately we will have to move our second goal to next year, since we have been unable to improve
II0YSO LOW ALLpoco tempo a disposizione.......solo x essere presente
II2PSA LOW ALLVery fun! TU 73
II2QSA HIGH ALLVery good contest weekend. Bands were in very good shape, except 10m on Sat morning where a lot of EU signals were not workable and affected by strong echo. Despite the highe solar cycle, also low bands were in good shape and quiet from noise. 40M were amazing! Heard stations coming strong from far east and SA on 80m not hearing my answers :( Thanks for QSOs, 73's Luca IK2PFL
II4BSA HIGH ALLI had a goal to reach 2,000 QSOs, and I really enjoyed this contest. I'm very happy to celebrate my first time achieving this with full-time participation. I worked hard to optimize the wire antennas (very simple dipoles) along with a 3-element Yagi. Best regards and 73 from II4B (Op. IK4AUY)

IP0ASO HIGH 160MI decided to try 160m for the first time in difficult conditions. Less activity, noisy band, bad propagation (high band wide open)...I chose the non assisted category to see what I can do without DX cluster. Thank you all for the QSOs and I am looking forward to the January CQ160m. 73 de Rich IS0JHQ / IP0A
IP9TSO HIGH 10MAfter the SOP effort in the SSB leg with my personal 1992 (IT9A) record beaten, I tried to beat the CW old local (IT9) record made in 1991 from my home (IT9A) by my old friend Giuseppe Giunta, IT9VDQ (643.968 points). Same QTH. Same operating conditions, same antennas and same pwr, old style w/o help by DXClusters or infernal machines. Pileup and signals are not the same as in the old days but record is beaten with over 100 Kpoint more (declared)
IQ4FESO HIGH ALLAs usual any year, a GREAT contest : huge participation and a lot of fun for everybody !
