| W4TMD | MULTI-ONE LOW | Best of 73!!! |
| W4VIC | SA HIGH ALL | Thanks for the Qs. 73, Vic, W4VIC |
| W4ZYT | SO HIGH ALL | Good condx, good participation, good fun, even for a CW guy |
| W5IOH | SO LOW 20M | At 15 I enjoy this. Praise the LORD |
| W5THT | SA HIGH ALL | Age 79 contacts 42 - can I swap these numbers? |
| W6DMW | SA HIGH ALL | Not much time to play this weekend but being a new guy I still had to get some time on the airwaves. Was hearing a lot of stations from all over however as we know, hearing and talking to are different things. The N6IJ Station was great as always. Many thanks to them. I hope that a few other operators were able to use it as well |
| W6QU | SO QRP ALL | Better than last year! Condx are finally starting to come back! |
| W6RKC | SO LOW 15M | Just as they did last year, PG&E strikes, shutting off the power in third world California. Apologies to the VK4 who may have received 'Whiskey Six' before the world went black |
| W7CXX | SA HIGH ALL | Few nice openings on 15 and 10 meters. Struggled to make EU contacts until Sunday morning. Interesting propagation, signals were either super loud or a whisper hidden behind QRM/QRN/QSB. My remote site lost electrical power in the last 30 minutes of the contest, due to high winds accompanying a strong cold front sweeping through Utah tonight. Looking forward to CQWW CW weekend! 73 Jack, WA7LNW |
| W7SOT | SO LOW 15M | runing ic-7300 with a G5RV Antenna, apex at about 25' surprized when I picked up the maritime mobile (N52O/a) |
| W7XZ | SO LOW 20M | Band condx less than desirable, 100W PEP to a couple wire antennas, but still managed to find 101 stations with very good receivers |
| W8ASA | SA HIGH ALL | 10 meters disappointing on Sunday. Used spotting for the first time ever, and was dismayed by the huge amount of typing mistakes |
| W8EOG | SO HIGH ALL | Missed those DXpeditions! |
| W8KNO | SO LOW ALL | Lost my voice the first night and had not recorded anything. Quit when I got to a score that looked unique! |

| W9KEY | SA HIGH ALL | First licensed 3/29/18 as KD9KOY, so still qualify for 'Rookie' status |
| W9NY | SA HIGH 20M | 20 meters open in all directions at same time kept my rotator busy |
| W9RE | SO HIGH ALL | Very good conditions then very bad conditions but always fun and the best SSB contest going. Thanks to all who make this possible and all over the world for operating |
| W9SAN | SO LOW ALL | SPENT MOST OF TIME TESTING NEW FLAGPOLE ANTENNA |
| WA1FCN | SA LOW ALL | Sure wish I was prepared for this one. Friday night on 15 and 20 was awesume . It gave me a brief memory of days gone by. Now if only CQ WW CW has this propagation. I'm ready to do that one seriously. 73 BoB WA1FCN |

| WA8Y | SO HIGH ALL | My 2 element Quad was just enough for 20 and 15. I need one or two more elements on 10 meters. My wires were not enough on the lower bands, hopefully they will be on CW |
| WB4EHG | SA HIGH ALL | 20m was a zoo, 15m was much nicer. I never heard any JAs |

| WK2G | SA HIGH ALL | I DON'T USUALLY GET INTO A SSB CONTEST BUT WITH MY FTDX101MP IT HAS A VOICE RECORDER ON IT SO FIGURED I'D GIVE IT A SHOT. WAS VERY HAPPY TO SAY I HAD A LOT OF FUN JUST USING THE VOICE FEATURE. I THEN LATER ON SUNDAY FIGURED I WOULD GIVE IT A SHOT AND RUN A BIT. WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED HOW WELL THE HEX BEAM DID. I CAN'T WAIT FOR CW. SURE HOPE FOR SAME PROPAGATION. CU THEN |
| WM1G | SA HIGH ALL | Haven't been on air since 2015 contest. Now I have new rig, amp, tower and beam! First time that I did not use 20 meters. 15 meters rocked! 40 was great but I couldn't hear JA's or YC's. Otherwise, what I heard, I worked |

| WO2X | SA HIGH ALL | Limited time on this weekend. 80 meters and 40 meters poor conditions but 15 was great and 10 was open |
| WP4OMQ | SO LOW ALL | General License 2020 |
| WP4RBT | SO LOW 15M | Date licensed 4/10/2019 |
| WR4I | SO QRP ALL | Tough going with pileups running high power :) |
| WW4LL | SA HIGH 15M | Part-time effort from ME remote station, all on 15 meters. Operating time, about 15 hours |
| WX3B | SA HIGH ALL | On Saturday I joined team WW2DX remotely utilizing my PC to run 20 meters from 4:30am until about 5:00pm. It was an amazing experience and much to my surprise, it *felt* just like being in front of a real radio. This was my first serious remote effort and I was impressed. Many thanks to Ray W2RE, Lee WW2DX and Rock WW1X for the invitation to operate, and their enthusiastic support before, during and after the event. We had a great team of old men and 'young' old men that made it particularly enjoyable. On Sunday I arrived at the Chateau WX3B about 10:30am and immediately started DXing on 10 meters. That was a lot of fun, even if it did cost me some prime time runs on 15 & 20. I was surprised how many Europeans were workable, even two relatively loud Russians showed up, one I couldn't work (he got 3 Bravo but that was it), and the other was an easy QSO. RUNNING Europeans on 10 over the weekend!! After about 2 hours of that fun I took a short break and found a juicy frequency on the bottom of 15 meters. Being fresh meat on Day 2 of a contest is like going on a DX-pedition. I ran almost 200 QSOs on 15m band was still wide open but I could tell everyone must have QSYed to 20, which was my next gig. I fired up on 20 and found another great spot near the bottom of the band and had an absolute ball for about 500 QSOs. This may not be a way to generate a big score, but it was 7+ hours of pure excitement, DXing and GREAT RUNS!! My multiplier totals show my focus was on QSOs...there very few on 10 meters...which was all pouncing). I saw 10 break wide open to South America by looking at K3AJ's spots in the late afternoon, however the pileup on 20 meters was too good to give up. I say bring on the rest of the contest season, I'm ready! 73, Jim WX3B |
| WZ8T | SA LOW ALL | It was nice to confirm that the radio and antennas still work on 10 meters. 40 and 80 meters were poor |
| XE1RE | SO LOW ALL | i'm sorry because bad turnout for work reasons |
| XE2B | SA LOW ALL | Excellent consitions on 15 Mts on te oather hand, 20M way too noisy |
