| KV8Q | SO QRP 10M | First time as QRP and it was really fun. I sure had the busted calls, most prevelant was K4ZQ and KU8Q. I tried to correct every one of them but sometimes folks were just to busy to worry about it I guess. Couldn't break all of the pileups but I got my share, even if it took a little longer. Sunday was better than Saturday even with the increase in noise. Thanks - 73 tom Rig = TenTec Eagle @ 5 Watts. Antenna = a droopy 10 meter droopy dipolel in the attic above the garage |
| KW8N | SO HIGH ALL | Overall bands seemed good |
| KY4GS | SA LOW ALL | First license 04-2021 Rookie (first licensed April 2021). YL |
| LA0GE | SA LOW 20M | Great fun with only a wire and 100w. Thanks to all |
| LA1ENA | SO QRP ALL | Xiegu G90 4watts dipole/vertical |

| LC5K | SA HIGH ALL | Covid 19 took its toll. But enjoyed it anyhow |
| LC5P | SO QRP ALL | Great contest even if the aurora killed some of the fun saturday evening and night. Some great ears out there to hear my 5W from a DxCommander vertical |
| LC9A | SA LOW ALL | Thx for the contacts. Had a good run on 15m this year |
| LT7D | SA QRP 10M | Entered the contest with a new 4 El antenna+ a new DSP filter set and a software revamp of the station. Nothing worked at the beginning. But eventually managed to get thru. Saturday bad condx with EU and vy gud with NO, Sunday better condx with EU and mild to US. Asia opened only on Friday night. No AF nor OC in the mix this time. All in all it was very fun |
| LU1DZ | SA HIGH 10M | Dedicado a mi amigo, maestro, padrino, Alberto Uranito Silva LU1DZ sk. Tu bandera aun flamea |

| LU3MG | SA HIGH ALL | The contest started quickly the idea was to test SO2R with two teams at 100W of power. Everything was almost ready until Murphy's law intervened, and I couldn't finish configuring it. With less than an hour remaining, I decided to switch to AB HP mode, working the bands allowed by my antennas (10/15/20 and 40M). This was at 1000 watts of power, using both VFOs of my radio and two keyboards. We worked in what is called SO2V, which isn't quite SO2R but improves the number of stations worked per unit of time. As usual, considering the time when the contest starts in the LU zone, we began on the 10-meter band, contacting stations from the USA, the occasional European approaching from the east, and then many, many Japanese stations, something I hadn't seen—or rather heard—in a long time. As time passed, we jumped between bands, ultimately ending up on 40 meters with less-than-ideal conditions. These conditions improved the next day in the early morning, allowing us to make nearly 200 contacts, the majority with American stations and a few Europeans. The standout band where I exceeded 1000 contacts was 10 meters, which opened like a Swiss clock on both days, allowing me to make the difference. The same couldn't be said for 15 meters, which was conspicuously absent on Saturday but opened on Sunday afternoon, adding some Europeans and many Americans to the log. On the other hand, 20 meters was very productive on Friday/Saturday night, but not so on Sunday. We ended the contest on 10 meters, adding a few multipliers and grouping stations from the USA. The participation of Brazilian stations was relatively low, which surprised me since they are usually highly present in international contests, especially given their abundance in South America compared to other countries in the region. In contrast, several Argentine contest stations joined (LS2D, LP1H, LT1F, and LU8DPM), along with more modest stations like LU1WUD Rik, LU6OA, LW1F, etc. In conclusion, it was a fun contest, as WW contests tend to be dynamic and, above all, challenging for the operator. The winner is the one who spends the most hours in the chair and accumulates better skills over time. We added several interesting entities for the DXCC and made many friends whom we greeted during these 48 hours of operation. Thanks to all the friends who shared their QSO. See you in the next contest! 73 TU... Seba LU3MG |

| MM0T | SO HIGH ALL | Another excellent event. I think I now put out a decent signal on all bands except 160, though I live in a city. Sorry to those I missed due to local noise. Conditions seemed pretty good except for the Geo Mag storm on Saturday night. Here's hoping for better luck next year! |
| MM4D | SA LOW 10M | Struggled on Saturday with conditions. Improved on Sunday but still no JAs heard. Already looking forward to next year! Thanks to all for the QSOs 73 de John, GM4ATA (aka MM4D) |

| N0GM | SA LOW ALL | New house, just got my beam up Saturday, rotator broke after about 2 hours in wind so most of the contest was using my EFHW 80-10. Worked pretty good! |
| N0JK | SO QRP 10M | I had planned a serious effort on 10 from our land north of Lawrence, KS where I had a yagi set up. But heavy snow prohibited driving there. Not set up for remote yet. So... I put in a limited QRP activity from our home in Lawrence. 5 W to a Radio Shack CB mag. mount whip on a Weber BBQ. 17 Qs in the log on 10 !! A tribute to the great conditions and the tenacity of the ops I worked. Short F2 to VE3 and VE5 noted on 10 |
| N1API | SA LOW 40M | With the SteppIR broken the only thing I had was a dipole and not a very good one on the tower. I surprised even myself! |
| N1DC | SO LOW ALL | Excellent conditions. Thanks to all the folks managing this great contest ! |
| N1NN | SO HIGH ALL | 19TH CQ WORLD WIDE DX CW CONTEST |
