MW9WSO LOW ALLUnfortunately due to the Covid-19 lockdown in Wales, work took precedence over the contest so I was not able to be on the radio as much as I had planned. Still I had fun in the time available to me - 73 Ian
MX0PFJSO LOW 10MA first contest for PFJ. SALUTE!

N0XXLSO LOW ALLGreat contest, the bands were very busy
N1APISA LOW ALLSurprise opening to Europe on 10 meters on Sunday. Nice opening to Asia both nights
N1EKSO LOW ALLFirst time for CQWWDXSSB contest. Learned a lot. Exellent challenge. 100 watts and a doublet. Worked 90% of the stations I could hear. Obviously could not hear the weaker ones. Enjoyed pausing to listen and learn from the techniques of other stations (e.g., W3LPL, WA3EKL, N1RM, K3ZO, W3EKT). Also discovered a ham that lives just a quarter mile away. Many thanks to the operators who pulled me through the pileups and background. See you again soon
N1KTMULTI-ONEOur first submittal ever. We all had a lot of fun. Our plan is to operate every year now
N1LNSA HIGH 15MNever expected the outstanding conditions. I started off as Unassisted, but switched to Assisted on Saturday night when trying to find and work into Japan from the east coast. That never happened Saturday or Sunday but the cluster did help me work 103 countries! That was a fun time. May the propagation be as good or better for CQWW CW weekend. 73, Bruce N1LN
N2BJSA HIGH ALLPainful almost Torture!
N2BZDSA LOW ALLWas fun trying propagation on 15 and 20 m

N3KASO LOW ALLfantastic time, 20 15 and 10 open in my noisy spot
N3KFSA HIGH ALLJust got tower up the day before contest. Then the amp kept cutting out. Did the test with mostly 100 watts. It was horrible except could get to Brazil with no problem. Kudos to those that do this QRP! It was taking 10 minutes plus to get through a pileup. Got to fix amp. Only one way to go from this and that's up!!!! Still fun

N4NTOSO LOW ALLGlad to get back on for a small effort! Bands not in great shape, but it is what it is with current conditions
N4XDSA HIGH 10Mspent time on each band the most on 10. Wasn't it great to have to actually ask if the frequency was in use on 10? Solid opening to EU both days and excellent prop to SA. One of the best moments for me was when I swung the beam to the west on Sunday afternoon to check if anyone on from the Pacific. Got a call from FK! He was the only one to call from there. FUN!!
N5GFSO HIGH ALLFirst contest ever as a 43 year Ham. I'm hooked. Always been too busy to contest. Thank you COVID
N5RMSSA LOW 15MBand noise quieter than I have ever heard it!
N6ANSO QRP ALLShort operation from Flint Peak. KX3 @ 5 watts and 59' wire at 25'. Most stations I called couldn't hear me. 15 meters at 0030Z on Sunday was full of SA and AS stations including zones 3/6/10/11/12/13/24/25/27/28/30/31/32. It was wonderful to hear!
N6ARSA HIGH ALL15 was a real surprise, but no JAs here on 15!
N6DWSA HIGH ALLRig K3, P3, KPA500 Tribander and Dipoles at 45' Sunday, my big effort day, until 3pm was a great disappointment here, and of course I had to leave at 5pm. On to CQ WW CW
N6HISO QRP ALLQRP, 5 Watts to a 20 foot end-fed wire. Conditions deplorable, but this was my first contest with a new rig, so it was fun just trying everything out in a contest environment. My first time having voice memorys, wow, I might begin enjoying SSB contesting more now! Thanks to all for your patience and for the QSOs. (The QSB was a bear!) Can't wait for the CQWWCW! GO ARIZONA OUTLAWS! 73, John N6HI
