| N4YHC | SO LOW ALL | Band conditions at times were not great for contacts |
| N5MKY/8 | SO LOW ALL | USE OF THE ITU PHONETIC ALPHABET WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED |

| N6AJ | SO HIGH ALL | First real contest since retired. Won't be last |
| N6IC | SA HIGH ALL | Messed up the log at first with cw entries that were all ssb. Delighted to find ops on 10 |
| N6IV | SO LOW ALL | Glad the bands were open |
| N6RV | SO LOW ALL | Rough contest! No polar paths, high A index and low SFI! Worked mostly stations south of my QTH! |
| N6YMM/7 | SA HIGH ALL | I enjoyed CQWWSSB despite miserable weather and band conditions! |
| N7EO/4 | SA HIGH 15M | FT-5000D, M2-KT36XA |
| N7MZW | SO LOW ALL | Kenwood TS-950SD,Heil BM-10 and G5RV above my Apt. Band cond. poor! |
| N7ZG | SO LOW ALL | Horrible conditions. Good time to give the classic category a try |
| N8BI | SA HIGH ALL | Poor conditions and a visit by Murphy! Some improvement day two. Still had a good time...already thinking about strategy, equipment, and conditions going forward. Definitely need to improve the ability to hear the weak ones particularly as conditions get worse....long before they get better! |
| N8FE | SO LOW ALL | I picked the worst part of the contest to get on but that's when I could operate. better plans for next year, I hope |
| N8FYL | SO LOW ALL | After observing the "less than optimal" band conditions, I don't feel so bad about not having ANY antenna up for the first 20 hours of the contest! My wire fell down 2 weeks ago and didn't have opportunity to get it back up until Saturday. Sometimes life gets in the way of radio, and sometimes its the other way around! |
| N8JDM | SA LOW ALL | ROOKIE 2016-07-19 AS KE8ETB |
| N8MWK | SO LOW ALL | didnt hav alot of time to devote this year but still great fun |
| N8MZ | SA HIGH ALL | Always a fun contest |
| N8YXR | MULTI-ONE LOW | Go MRRC GO!!! |
| N9BT | SA LOW ALL | Could hardly hear any European stations. I miss the sunspots |
| N9OQT/0 | SO LOW 20M | Operated just a few hours while activating NPOTA |
| N9TF | SA LOW ALL | From the perspective of this low power, low and small antenna contest station, band conditions were terrible this weekend for the CQWW SSB contest. Heard lots of DX that did not hear me. Best get used to these poor conditions for a while as we slide our way down to the bottom of this sunspot cycle. It was definitely frustraiting to hear DX stations and not be able to get into their RXer. If not for the solid North/South propagation to Central and South America on 15 and 20 meters, this contest would have been a bust! Conditions on 40 and 80m Saturday night really fell off to my QTH even to the Caribbean and Central America. Only a few EU and North Africa stations were heard on 40 early and then the band faded almost to oblivion for a time. In all my previous DX contests, I have always worked many Italian stations, to the point where Italy is usually the largest contributor of EU contacts in my log. This contest I have ZERO Italy stations in my log. Many were heard on 20 meters, and many were called over and over again with no luck. I noticed many EU stations were working other EU stations while many U.S. stations were calling and getting through. Well, I've been through sunspot bottoms in the past and made it through OK. This is just another one to wait out and make the best of. Looking forward to CQWW CW. Even in poor conditions, low power and low hanging small antennas, I feel a bit more competative with CW, and should be able to be heard in a few Italian and other DX stations receiver! Operating Conditions, K3S 100 watts to a 2 element tribander at 37 feet, 40/80 meter short (100 foot)) dipole at 35 feet, and a shortt (67 foot) 160m half sloper at 35 feet. 73 and CU in CQWW CW, Gene N9TF |
