| NN3W | SA HIGH ALL | Fantastic conditions and activity! |
| NN7SS | SA QRP ALL | Yes, I can work DXCC-QRP in one weekend! Final tally: 116 DXCC Countries. I wasn't ready to put in long hours on SSB, as I was feeling under the weather. So I just tried to see if I could work DXCC QRP. There's even a category: Single Operator Assisted QRP All-Band. I even managed to get packet spots working :-) During the contest I stopped to research and fix configuration issues with the microHAM controller, and to pull-out the audio DSP unit that had AGC problems with the loud SSB QRM. I only worked 20, 15 and 10m, since low-band QRP is not better than sleeping. Saturday morning provided many Europeans. After the "easy" countries were worked, it was great to skip the pileups on "already-worked" countries. Europeans could be heard on 10m but were hard to work QRP, so 15m and 20m more successful. The afternoon provided all the usual Caribbean, South America, and Pacific/Asia - Thanks! I ended the day Saturday with 90 DXCC countries. Sunday morning brought enough new European countries to cross the 100 country finish line. I took some time off to listen for a RTTY DX station - easier on the ears. Then I just checked SSB every hour or two to see if I could add a few more countries. I heard at least another dozen countries on 10m that I just couldn't work QRP. Heard too much of the usual phone antics: last two letters, not listening, calling out of turn, tuning up amps on the DX frequency, DX not identifying. I'm glad they'll all be disqualified for violating the DX Code of Conduct.

| NO0BZ/8 | MULTI-ONE | This is only our small clubs second try at this contest. Its needless to say that we really improved from last year. The station has been coming along, along with the operators. Bands were in good shape again finally. With just a modest station we were able to hear and work all but Central and Far East Asia (aside from JA). Great fun |
| NO2D/0 | SO LOW ALL | I knew I had a microphone somewhere. Now I know why I hid it! Tough sledding with minimalist antennas, even with increased sunspot activity. Pete, NO2D |
| NP2Q | SO QRP ALL | 5 watts |
| NP4G | SO LOW 20M | Great Contest. See you next year! |
| NW2K | SO LOW ALL | Frequencies listed here by N1MM are RX, not TX. Split operation was used. Please do not penalize those QSOs. Thank you. 90W, matchbox, 80M loop at 30 feet |
| NX0I | SA LOW ALL | Had a blast. Spent most time on 10 & 15 meters. Really nice to see them open and really spread out |
| NX1T | SO LOW ALL | Contest cut short by power/antenna loss in a snowstorm |
| NX7TT | SO LOW ALL | was single op 10 meters only for 18 hours...worked 100 countries and 31 zones...band was wide open. had a blast. was looking for dxcc stuff and not just numbers of q's. trying to up my dxcc count for 10 since it is now open |
| NY4I | SA HIGH ALL | 10m was fun. The Zero-Five 43 foot vertical makes for some challenges with that many stations heard and no side-rejection. But the Alpha 9500 helps! |
| NY4O | SO HIGH ALL | Great fun! BUT had the first 90 contacts erased when PC had power surge. Please take that into consideration when evaluating the logs of others who claim working me. Thanks |
| NY4S | SO LOW 15M | Heard some really great operators! Conditions good! |
| OE5T | MULTI-TWO | We experienced good highband condx - not having antennas for 160 and 80 did not hurt much. Great fun! |
| OE6U | SO LOW ALL | MY POWER WAS 100 WATTS GOOD CONDITIONS- MY BEST CONTEST! |
| OE7AJT | SA LOW ALL | TS850s, 100W 2 EL YAGI 40m 8 El LogP 10-20m |
| OE9R | SO HIGH ALL | Great conditions on all Bands, outstanding 10m openings, great score for a simple setup. Lost a lot of time reparing and improving things but thats what makes a contest so exiting. I always get things running during the contest and that costs time.... CU in the next contest ! Carl, OE9MON |
| OG6N | SA HIGH ALL | This contest was one more tough episode this fall with an inflamed arm that already prevented a full effort on SAC and somewhat crippled station so I was like a one-armed pirate navigating his badly shaken vessel in the stormy waves. The power splitting to multiple directions was not functional and the second radio was not working on Saturday so I lost some valuable operating time while chasing multipliers when I should have just run for stations. It appeared that the USB/serial port adapter that used to work well for the second radio control in the past came to the end of its life. There were also some broken control wiring that prevented the use of all possible antennas. Saturday went with a lot of S/P and SO1R to reach a good multiplier. This meant a big loss in the QSO numbers. My arm was on fire in the evening so I had to rest for quite a long time. I stayed off the radio for almost 12 hours. On Sunday I tried to run as much as possible and even managed to get the second radio operational but the propagation was down from Saturday so the rates were decent but nothing spectacular. 10 m was great but the low bands were awful. All things considering I was pleased to be able to work WAZ on 20m and 10m and reach 143 countries on 15m and 149 countries on 10m. It remains to be seen if a better effort is going to happen in the CW leg. My arm still hurts so taking some off-time seems to be the case. At least my station is now in a bit better condition |
| OH0V | SO HIGH 40M | Thank You all for another Great One ! Conditions to West were much better than last year. To East, the conditions kind of were there, but no stations. Also from West, there could have been more activity on low bands. People were enjoying the upper bands. I am sure everybody had a lot of Fun this year. The high point was there were many Pacific stations coming in over the pole. I missed some zones that I thought would be easy - as usual. Hear you all and at least some others on CW ! |

| OH3BU | SA LOW 10M | Contest didn't start too well. I hurt my back while changing winter tyres. It was anyway really nice that 10 meters showed some activity after so many low sun spot years. Makes me remember my early years in ham radio |
| OH3HS | SO LOW ALL | MAX POWER 100W |
| OH3OJ | SA HIGH 10M | Nice to be on 10m also from Finland after a pretty long while |
| OH3P | SO LOW ALL | After many years, since last time, from OH6AT I took a part in CQWW, now from own station. All supposed to ok. Well, 80M wire h-loop did not work, no qso?s in 80/40m - though luck. Thanks for nice contest, it was fun, probagation was also good. Gear was TS590, N1MM, JP2000 tribander, INV V for 160m and that loop was not in ?form?...Hope to cu next year ! |
