| N5OCO | SO LOW 15M | Thanks to all for the fun. Great operators out there worldwide |
| N5ZY | SO LOW ALL | First contest using my new 43 foot vertical instead of temporary OCF dipole or attic antennas. I'm exhausted! I wish there was an exclusive 100 watt 24-hour DX contest! That would be awesome - or it might be really quiet. I wish to say Thank You to CQ Magazine and everyone involved in hosting this contest and rating entries - and to all the DX stations who worked me even though I wasn't easily heard. I also want to thank N1MM for providing such a great contest logging program - Wow! |

| N6KN | SO HIGH ALL | 10 meters is alive! |
| N6PS | SO LOW 20M | 1st contest submission |
| N6RV | SO LOW ALL | I almost gave up after struggling through Saturday. Slept 6 hours on Sunday morning. When I got up conditions had improved. Even 10 meters took off. Plenty of Europe on 20 and 15. Debated about going to the 20 meter zoo in the last minutes of the contest. I did and it paid off. VK9CZ was the second station I worked. See eveyone in the CW segment! |

| N8BI | SA HIGH ALL | Surprising good conditions |
| N8DE | SA LOW 15M | FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS OPERATING LOW POWER AND SINGLE BAND. CONDITIONS WERE QUITE GOOD. FOR LOW PART OF SUNSPOT CYCLE, THAT WAS QUITE UNANTICIPATED |
| N8GLS | SO LOW ALL | COULD'NT DEVOTE THE TIME I WANTED SO NOT AT ALL CLOSE TO LAST YEARS SCORE, BUT ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE. BETTER TO HAVE CONTESTED THAN NO TEST AT ALL!! THANKS ALL FOR ANOTHER GREAT EXPERIENCE! |
| N8II | SO LOW ALL | Very good condx on 20 and 15. Vast majority of QSO's S&P, was only able to run well on 20 Sunday 19Z |
| N8TCP | SO LOW ALL | Had fun with limited time |
| N8YXR | MULTI-ONE LOW | Go MRRC GO!!! |
| N9GG | SO LOW ALL | Really no antenna |
| N9RV | SO HIGH ALL | Conditions were great except for the brick wall to JA on the low bands |
| N9TF | SA LOW 15M | No time to play Friday night, and only a little over an hour Saturday (XYLs 60th "B"day). So decided to put my efforts into a SB 15m operation. Conditions not bad for the bottom of the sun spot cycle. But still tough for low power and low antenna. S&Pd my way through 15m Sunday, watching the spots and listening for new calls to work. Spent way to much time in the pileup for FR4QT for two new mults. I'm guessing I burned a good 45 minutes or more calling, but finally did get him in the log. I was hoping for some JA and other Pacific to pop up late in the day Sunday, but prop from that part of the world never materialized. I was able to get A31MM and one ZL in the log, and a few KH6, but prop to Pacific was light with some deep QSB. Atmosperic noise (noise floor) in that direction 240 - 320 degrees was 10 to 15 DB higher than to EU and SA most of the day. Was hoping for DXCC, but was not meant to be. Still had fun. not too bad for the sun spot bottom. 73 Gene, N9TF Rig, Elecraft K3s 100 watts to 2 element triband at 37' |

| NF7E | SO HIGH 40M | Fun test! Decided to just try 40M and really enjoyed it! Hunting and pouncing produced some good DX and then worked the Antarctic station who gave me Zone 39 and a weather report of -44 degrees F. LOL |
| NH6AB | SO QRP ALL | QRP was a killer at these band conditions |
| NK8Q | SA HIGH ALL | My highest contest score ever! |
| NM9P | SA LOW 80M | Only a very part time effort due to famiy and work schedules. Decided to do single-band 80 Meters and try to raise my DXCC totals on 80. Rig - Flex 6500. Antenna - Inverted L (35 up and 35 over) with one poor radial. Not a great antenna system, but I made a few contacts |
| NN2NN | SO HIGH ALL | Always a lot of fun. Very busy weekend so just a little operating time |
| NN3W | SO HIGH 20M | Many thanks to John, N3HBX for use of his awesome station! |
| NN4X | SA HIGH ALL | Post Hurricane Irma, I'm without my 40M Moxon. All of my rotating antennas slipped in their rotors, and don't point in the correct direction. I haven't been able to get up the towers to fix them. I've also picked up some hellacious QRN, but it only started the week before the contest. So, good thing I only ever planning on playing around |
