KK6PVSSO LOW ALLFirst contest. Please advise if problems processing. 40 QSO's, lot of fun
KK7VLSO QRP 20MRADIO IS A STOCK YAESU FT-817ND. MAXIMUM POWER OUTPUT WAS UNDER 4 WATTS
KL2ZZSO LOW ALLI am happy with a good effort. This is all search and pounce, I did not run at all. While conditions were generally good, my dipole was not oriented correctly for Europe and I ended up building and hanging a secondary 20m dipole oriented for working over the pole which worked out well. I still could not break pileups without a lot of patience, but I was able to work through the aurora flutter on Saturday evening. I was very sad in that I could not work PY7ZZ. He had the "2ZZ" of my call but it did not work out. ZZ calls are worth more than a mult to me. And I think that working TC2C is mainly optimism on my part, but we'll see what his log says
KL7AIRSA HIGH ALLOutstanding!
KL7DGSO LOW ALLHad a few new ones for Alaska and one all time new one for me

KQ2M/1SO HIGH ALLExtremely sad to report that my mother-in-law who had open heart surgery in September, passed away on Saturday night during CQWW. Thankfully, we were all able to be with her at the end. She fought very hard and very bravely and I will miss her. Bob KQ2M
KR1ASO LOW ALLEnjoyed working a number of JAs
KS7TSO HIGH ALLNever know when a rare needed band entity might show up in a contest and be workable. Saw C3 stations spotted at other times when no contest but could never hear them. C37N had a great signal here - real 59! Tnx for being there!
KU2MSO HIGH 15MWhen the 1st guy you work is in zone 29, you know it'll be a great weekend!
KU4VSO HIGH ALLThe sun shone favorable on the masses this year - amazing conditions for heading into a 2nd Maunder Minimum. Conflicts of many proportions keep me from a "Maximum Effort". I hope I did not miss the best conditions for my life time. B1Z on 20m with wires in trees was a treat
KV4LVSO LOW 20MFirst licensed Dec 20, 2012 Very satisfying contest - was only able to participate a few hours, but 20m was a feeding frenzy! Running an ancient Yaesu 747, feeding direct to a 40m off-center dipole dangling at 12m in the front yard
