W9RESO HIGH ALLBig change in conditions from Saturday to Sunday. Always a blast no matter what conditions are. Thanks to all for making this contest great
W9TCVSO LOW ALLWhat a fun time - 10M was wide open and both 15 and 20 were great as well. If only I had more op time...but there were many breaks and interruptions this year. Still happy with a new personal record and look forward to trying to better it again next year. Thanks to all who participated - there were SO MANY signals on the bands! 73, W9TCV
W9XYSA HIGH ALLFirst major contest effort after retiring. Got the DXCC Triple Play in just under 28 hours on 10, 15, & 20M. Set up N1MM to do real time scoring, that was fun to watch. Almost all Q's were S&P. I'm still more of a DX'er than a contester, but cracking 2 mil points made it a fun weekend!

WK9MSA HIGH ALLI don't do much SSB contesting so did this as a casual contest to get some DX from home that I normally wouldn't. Thanks for the contacts. (Mostly S&P this time, with some calling to test the amp at full power after repairs.) Hope to contact you again in the future 73!
WM2YSA LOW ALLWATTS and a 80-10 wire end fed antenna. Fun Fun
WO2XSA HIGH ALLDue to health was limited in operating hours. Missed a portion on Saturday morning due to back spasms. Good to hear the upper bands alive and all the familiar calls. Thanks to all for the Q's
WO7TSA QRP 10MLove that 10M has recovered, and suitable for QRP operations once again. Thanks for all the contacts
WP3GWSO LOW ALLTen Meters was the surprise of the weekend!
WP4WWSA LOW 15MIt was a nice run
WQ6XSA LOW ALLThis is another WQ6X CQ-WW random-dabble operation to test-run new equipment configurations, not to win anything. I was just screwing around this weekend as I play around with station changes. With so many things going on all weekend, the first QSO didn't happen until 02:50z on Sunday. The FT-2000 ran flawlessly into a 10-meter Long John yagi, which tuned AWEsomely on 15-meters as a rotatable dipole. For 20 & 40 the usual 8JK Cobra dipole configuration limped along. The solar storms this weekend sprayed noise all over the bands killing things Saturday evening, so I made it to a 75-meter round table sked at 05:30z and then signed off. Conditions were only marginally better on Sunday. As I write this: SFI-135 (up from 122) - A-28 - K-4 Read more about this at: http://WQ6X.Blogspot.com
WU7WSO HIGH ALLQRZ is not identifying you call sign. CQ and a call sign is an invitation for a running station. After trying to make a call then use QRZ to get a specific station to call again. I left 50 running stations because I refuse to play their game of QRZ with no call sign. How can you get their call if all they say is QRZ for 5 minutes?
