| N2MTG | SO LOW ALL | Mother nature did a number of the East coast with an early snwo fall. Lost power for 38 hours |
| N2NUR | SO LOW ALL | 100 WATTS |
| N2OBY | SO LOW ALL | Didn't get a lot of operating in due to the freak Halloween snowstorm, but much fun was had. 73 & good luck in the contest! |
| N2SLO | SO LOW 10M | This was my first CQ WW SSB DX Contest. I operate an Icom 746, power set at 50 watts, with an IMAX 2000 5/8 wave antenna at 35ft. My expectations were low, but the 10M band conditions have been open for weeks. I was very happy with my result, approximately 180 contacts, and several countries. The highlight of the contest for me was around 2200 on Sunday night, near the end of the contest. I first worked ZM4T (New Zealand), then KG6DX (Guam), then closed the night with VK4KW (Australia). What fun, only 50 watts and a vertical you can work the world. 73 David |
| N2WN/4 | SO LOW ALL | Obviously 10 and 15 were the big story this year, amazing to hear so many signals on 10 after the long dry spell. The CW session should be very interesting indeed! |
| N3BM/4 | SA HIGH ALL | IC-756PRO III AL-811H Force 12 C-3SS Inverted L |
| N3EH/4 | SO HIGH ALL | 1st CQ World Wide |
| N3NRN | SA HIGH 20M | Lost Power during Snow Storm! |
| N3RS | MULTI-TWO | Power failure & icy antennas made this a bust. Better luck next time |
| N3UM | SO HIGH ALL | My 10th year doing CQ WW SSB from this QTH with comparable gear. Biggest factors this year: lots more sunspots, BUT my BIC time was limited to 18.3 hr. vs 27.5 hr. last year, and 25 hr. or more '04 thru '09. Reasons: I had hernia surgery 3 weeks before the contest, and Sun. afternoon there was a concert I wanted to attend with my wife. Even with 2/3 as many hours, I found 11 more multipliers than in 2010, most of the extra mults on 15 and 10 m. Got only 560 QSOs vs 773 last year, so my claimed score this year was lower, though I did do better than in 2009 and nearly equalled 2008. Improved conditions best illustrated by my making 83 QSOs in EU on 10 m. vs NONE in EU last year. I didn't do quite as well on the low bands, simply because fatigue required me to quit and go to bed 1.5 to 2 hrs. earlier than in recent years. I always enjoy finding rare mults: this year HZ and ZA on 10 m.; A4, A7, and OX on 15 m.; and BY, HZ, C5, ZD8, and RN1ANC in Antarctica on 20 m. Activity level was excellent, as illustrated by the semi-rare EUs available: HB0, C3, and T7 |
| N3XUD | SA HIGH ALL | Great contest once again and good band conditions!! |
| N4BP | SA HIGH 10M | 2011 CQWW SSB |
| N4CR | SA HIGH ALL | FANTASTIC PROPAGATION. HAD A GREAT TIME. IT'S GREAT TO SEE SO MANY GOOD OPS ON THE BANDS |
| N4DXI | SA HIGH ALL | For once in a long time, 10 meters was the money band |
| N4LZ | SO HIGH ALL | WOW! Great band conditions |
| N4PN | SA HIGH 15M | WOW!! This was really a great weekend for CQWW. Too many nice surprises from all over the world to name...Worked all 40 zones when FR5EW called me on Sunday morning...Hope more of the same for the CW contest |
| N4RWH | SO LOW ALL | Great Contest!!! One of the best. It was a fantastic DX contest!!! One of the best I have participated in! |
| N4TZ/9 | SO LOW ALL | WOW! Great to see 10m open; sorry to see 160m not live up to past |
| N4UEZ | SO LOW ALL | 100W MAX POWER USED |
| N5DO | SO LOW ALL | Maximum power output 100W (Elecraft K3 barefoot) |
| N5DTT | SO LOW ALL | Fantastic conditions on 10 Meters |
| N5MX | SA HIGH ALL | I do appreciate the QSO's with new entities during the contest |
| N5PD | SO LOW ALL | Driveway Mobile |
| N6AN | SO HIGH 10M | Wow!! 10 meters was alive this weekend! What a thrill to work 35 zones and 110 countries. Highlights include: 9V1YC, JT1RF, ST2AR, 5H3EE, C91KHN, D2QV, 9Q6CC. It is amazing how many stations can fit on this band! |
| N6DW | SO HIGH ALL | It is hard to be one of the great unheard. I am happy that I could only operate 7 hours. It limited the embarrassment. A stealth vertical and 600 watts doesn't cut it on the west coast unless you can only work Sunday afternoon when all the stations with big antennas have worked everybody else |
| N6EE | SA LOW 10M | Very limited time for this one so I focused on working as many countries as possible on 10M running low power. No CQing, just S&P and Cluster spots yielded 101 countries. What fun! There's no meters like TEN METERS! |
| N6MI | SO HIGH ALL | Portable operation from Alvord Peak, San Bernardino County, California |
| N6RV | SO LOW ALL | All I could say is Wow! The bands held up all weekend! I worked over half the contacts on 10 M! |
| N7EIE | SO LOW ALL | This was my first phone contest after 172 CW contests using 75 watts. I need a linear. DX stations couldn't even tell I was in there unless they were over S9 with no pile-up. How do the QRPers do it? |
| N7JLC | SO QRP ALL | had rig problems on ten, so started qrp, and ran off and on as time allowed, lots of fun, qrp was a challenge! |
| N7VPN | SO LOW ALL | Had a lot of fun. See you next year |
| N8BV | SO LOW ALL | 100 Watts |
| N8II | SO HIGH ALL | Heavy heavy snow caUsed my wires to come crashing down Saturday, but not that upset because I had to work during the day time anyway. Plenty of JA activity, but 10 was only wide open to there Sunday evening. Not much of anything rare worked despite mostly all S&P. Most fun was start on 15 running down BD's,RA0's ,9M8Z. Also fun to work all continents on 20 in about first 1/2 hr |
| N8MPX/4 | SO HIGH ALL | Thanks to all It was fun N8MPX |
| N8MWK | SO QRP 10M | This was the best conditions on 10 meters for over a decade. I used only a Yaesu FT-817 at 5 watts and a wide spaced 3 element monoband yagi. I hope the ARRL 10 meter contest has this kind of propagation in a couple of months. I am sorry I didn't have more time to devote to the contest |
| N9BT | SA LOW ALL | Very good conditions on 10 m, wish I could have operated more |
| N9CIQ | SO LOW ALL | 10 meters was as good as I can ever remember - signals all the way up to 29.200! |
| N9OK | SA HIGH ALL | 10 and 15 M bands were in great condition on Sunday, open to SE Asia |
| N9UY | SO LOW ALL | 336 contacts 211 multipliers 10 meters this year was rocking - like 20 meters on a really good day not that very long ago! |
| NA4CW | SO LOW ALL | 18 Housr part time. Excellent condx on 10 and 15 |
| NC4MI | SO HIGH ALL | Glad that 10 and 15 meters are finally back and they were hot with all kinds of good dx |
| ND0C | SO QRP ALL | Wow! What a blast! 10 meters was unreal: 94 countries and 30 zones with QRP! A total of 105 countries and 32 zones using 5 watts from the "Black Hole"! I had to force myself to leave 10 meters to pick up mults on 15 and 20. 40 and 80 were tough going with mediocre antennas. What's with the guys that don't give their call signs. Those of us not using packet spotting don't know who you are! |
| ND3R | SO LOW ALL | Had alot of fun. Great to see 10 meters crowded again. See you all next year |
| ND4V | SA HIGH ALL | Can't wait to see the big guns scores. Conditions were great with openings to SE Asia Sat and Sun evenings (local time) |
| ND5T | SA HIGH ALL | Most activity I have ever seen in a contest |
| NE4M | SO LOW ALL | Bands are getting better |
| NF1L | SO LOW ALL | Power Outage affected the hours operated |
| NF4A | SA HIGH ALL | Sore throat and cold and couldn't hang in there.....that is one of the many advantages of a CW contest ;) 15 and 10 were HOT !! |
| NH0S | SA HIGH ALL | Good Condx! |
| NJ1H | SO LOW 10M | R5 vertical, 100W Operation terminated due to Snowtober power outage. Used AC generator for essentials next 4 days |
