| N8AJM | SO LOW ALL | Operator age 16 |
| N8GB | SO LOW ALL | N3FJP reported my CQz as 4 and it is 5. I communicated '5' to all contestants, however, I cannot guarantee they took the time to overwrite the erroneous data contained in the logging program |
| N8II | SO LOW 10M | Very good conditions to EU Saturday. Excellent South Pacific then brief good opening to Asia Saturday evening. Highlight was YE9BJM S9+10-20 db at 2238Z I was his first zone 5. Sunday was a real slog thanks to solar storm with K4-5, nothing heard from EU north of about the Alps except for a few OM/OK stations and very brief OH |
| N8IVN | SA HIGH ALL | Glad to have a couple hours to enable me to add to the club's points before joining Team WX3B. 73 Dennis N8IVN |
| N8MD | SO LOW ALL | Great contest! |
| N8SDR | SA HIGH ALL | Hermes Lite 2 and VK3AMP |
| N8YXR | MULTI-ONE LOW | Much better than last year. All Tuttle's helped!!!! |
| N9ARX | SO LOW ALL | Great band conditions on 10 & 15 this year. Wish I could have operated more hours! |
| N9ATF | SO LOW ALL | First license 07-2021 |
| N9QZ | SO LOW ALL | Operator age 24 Born January 1999 |
| N9TF | SO LOW ALL | Went away for the weekend to my nieces wedding in IL. Made it home Sunday after driving 6.5 hours and was able to squeeze in 53 minutes of operating in the last 1.5 hours of the contest. S&Pd quickly, bouncing around the bands hoping to pick up as many DX and zone mults as possible. If an op didn't answer my call after 2 calls, or if a run op didn't identify after working two ops, I moved on quickly. Felt like a sprint! I was hoping for at least 60 Qs and 60 total mults. 10/15/20 meters all had similar prop to SA and Caribbean here. I did find one JA on 15 to work that heard me as well as two different DX entities in zone 33. One on 15 the other on 20. All the rest of the contacts were VE/SA and Caribbean. No travels planned for November CQWW CW, and the plan is for a FT effort. 73 Gene, N9TF Rig, K3S 100 watts to 6BTV ground mounted |
| N9VPV | SA LOW 10M | 100w & a 10m vertical |
| N9XDS | SO LOW ALL | This was my first CQ DXCC contest. 73 |
| NA4CW | SO QRP ALL | Just playing. IC-705 to Windom up 25 ft, 6,5 hours. Club points to FCG |
| NB2P | SO HIGH 40M | New antenna and QTH. Happy with the results for the few hours we were able to operate |
| NC4MI | SO LOW ALL | Did a lot of search and pounce. Mostly searching |
| NC8R | SA LOW ALL | Operator age 17 First time using my new Hygain TH-3 in a contest. Had a great time! |
| ND0C | SO QRP ALL | Had fun but conditions were a bit disappointing |
| NE5B | SO LOW ALL | Literally 100 watts and a wire. Well actually 2 End Fed HalfWave wires, #1 10-40 #2 10-75. Search and pounce the entire time |
| NE5TT | SO LOW ALL | First license 02-2022 |
| NF4A | SA HIGH ALL | 100 S&P....10 meters was disappointing compared to the way it was just a few days earlier in the week |
| NI0K | SO HIGH 20M | The good news: my XYL found me a chair cushion that finally makes BIC time comfortable. The bad news: Murphy attacked! Not only was there trouble with software, my 20M single band entry was adversely affected by the solar storm: anything above 10MHz had a hole over northern MN. I couldn't hear Asia at - mostly just EU. I'm tired of fighting software issues and I'm going to take a few days off |
| NK4O | SA LOW ALL | 10m was magic on Saturday. The band was stacked from 28.3-28.9 wow. This is the most effort ever given to a SSB contest. Next time I'll have a foot/hand switch and voice recorder. Monday is going to be interesting. thanks! 73 -AJ |
| NL8F | SO HIGH 80M | Good Test K4 A28 but not to bad good the hear guys on the bands |
| NN4DX | SO LOW ALL | Great contest! Thanks for the sun for giving us great propagation. 73 All |
| NN6U | SO LOW ALL | Had a couple of unplanned hours on a mountaintop so I worked some high-band DX from my Jeep - conditions were very good on Saturday and I got 3 new entities for my Mobile DXCC if they confirm. If the 'regional open space' were qualified for a POTA park, this would also have been a successful POTA activation |
| NN7O | SO LOW ALL | Just making some contacts and handing out some points this year . . |
| NO9E | SA HIGH ALL | Using Flex 6600 + PG XL amp. Antennas: JK Mid Tri 40 @ 30m phased with JK Mid Tri @ 20m. 4 SQ for 80m plus beverages. Spiderbeam @ 40ft as a multiplier antenna. This year I added a square 2 el beam @ 11m for 10-20 that weights 5 kg. Carbon fiber mast from Gigaparts and 4 carbon fiber fishing poles. Set for Southeast it worked surprisingly good. Poor conditions on 160-80, mediocre on 40m. Excellent on 10m on Saturday and much worse on Sunday due to a G1 storm. For the first time I figured out how to do SO2R with Flex/N1MM although not enough running to use SO2R well. But spurious interlocks cost 1 hr of prime time. My signal was not strong compared to nearby stations. I think that the TX audio in FLEX 6600 is screwed up. It is either clean and weak, or stronger with processing but distorted |
| NS4E | SO LOW ALL | Please use Joe instead of Joseph if possible |
| NS6X | SO QRP ALL | First CQWW in many years - first as single-op. Had a fun time operating from a campground near Big Bear City, about 7,000 feet. Only had working antenna for 10-20. So slept all night |
| NS7U | SA LOW ALL | Fun contest, and I worked several ATNO during the event. Thank you for organizing it |
