VE7LSISA LOW ALLFirst license 03-2023 Licensed on March 7, 2023
VE7MHISO LOW ALLFor the first time I worked all three days hr on t. 'West Coast.' Friday evening was special as 10 m was amazingly open to my antipodes. I usually operate as a stationary mobile with monoband whips. A trial of a delta loop proved a poor use of time on Sat. so I returned to the whips. Had such fun working new to me entities. I even worked VO1 on 10 m! Tnx all
VE7RIZSO LOW ALLMobile Beach Front
VE7SNCSA HIGH ALLI heard several americans working 7.109 which they are not allowed?
VE9XXSA HIGH 10MThanks for the fun!
VJ2JSO HIGH 10MSimply amazing conditions on 10m
VK2IGChecklogSingle band (10m) activity to help put zone 30 on the air, and see how many zones and DXCC entities I could work. Conditions in the 1st 18 hours really good, with Caribbean and South American stations heard on the long path around 1200 UTC (but not workable due to being dogpiled). Conditions afterwards not so good. Looking forward to the CW contest in a month!
VK2PWSO HIGH ALLGreat comp, lots of fun. Excellent conditions especially 15m LP in the morning into Central and South America. Thanks to K3LR and all sponsors. Good luck to all

VK4QSSO HIGH 15MGreat Conditions, Cycle 25 just keeps giving. 200W and a TH3 Junior at 7M high, the world at your fingertips. I worked a good many countries I have never heard before now. I had a great time, mostly on 15m as well as working a good few on 20M & 10M. Thanks to all those Stations I worked, and for their patience to complete the contact when conditions inflicted QSB. Thanks also to the Organizers and Log Counters at CQ WW SSB. Looking forward to working you all next year, 2024. Might hear you in the CQ WW CW in November Cheers Mike VK4QS

VK6DDXSO LOW ALLThis is the first time I have entered this contest for several decades. Lots of fun for the short time available. Thank you to all at the CQ Contest organising team
VK6WRSO LOW 20MDidn't get as much time on air as I would have liked... :-(
VK7GNSO HIGH ALLA few hours fun. Any band errors are mine -computer interface was being unreliable
VL2USA LOW ALL100 Watts via EFHW
VL2WSO LOW 20M100W/ Rotateable Dipole/Single operator As normal none of the African stations look towards Oceania
VL3ESO HIGH ALLPart time effort, just to work some DX on 10m and have a bit of fun doing a run of EU on 20m. From what I can see is the fastest run from VK on 20m and to EU. All the higher rates are 10m runs to NA with lower noise, congestion, better skilled and behaved operators and generally shorter callsigns, so fairly happy with that. Unfortunately, got stomped on for the last 5 minutes, so lost the frequency and probably another 10 - 20 QSOs in the run. Over 200/hr would have been cool. Some terrific local (Oceania) signals on 10m first morning and a bit of EU DX late but there was no great opening to the USA, and 40m was again disappointing from here in our evenings. The bands were in far worse shape on the second day, with a real struggle to work much. The lack of activity from JA, which has been declining for years is certainly impacting the scores in VK. The North South path used to give us plenty of QSOs when propagation to NA or EU was not happening. Looking forward to some DX chasing in the CW leg, perhaps catch a few new ones on 160m. I hope so as DXCC is not far out of reach
VL4RMULTI-TWOOur New 10m 4 el delta loop monobander at 22m performed well
VL6KSO HIGH ALLOnly 8 hrs 40 mins on this contest. Lots of life interruptions. IC-7300, 200 W into 80m OCF dipole @ 6m

VU2MUDSA HIGH 10MFT2000 Hex Beam on 10' Tower - 50' From Ground Level. No Rotator - Fixed at 330 deg. Getting back to contesting after a break of nearly 5 years from serious contesting. Missed the rotator - This new Hexbeam that I put up seems to have a high Front to Back Ratio. Missed working the JA/ BY/ YB/ HS/ VK/ ZL/ 9V/ ZS/ Africa/ Tuvalu/ Mainland US etc. But being a comeback contest - satisfied with the Score and the time spent on the radio. I hope to improve my scores in the coming contests
