VE2IDXSA HIGH 20MThis is my 10th DX-pedition to Zone 2 as a VE2IDX. I came to Sept-Iles, Northern Quebec a few days before CQWW, it was 3 different flights during the day. I operated SOSB (A) 14 MHz, on Saturday condx was great, but strong Aurora on Sunday with K=4 at latitude=50 degrees in Northern Canada makes your life quite hard. The Sunstorm destroyed lots of the DX signal strengths, make almost impossible to create European pile-ups on Sunday morning and it started to come back to normal on Sunday afternoon only. MANY THANKS to all stations who called me during the pile-ups but due to high QRM almost all QSOs on Sunday afternoon I did with a turned-on attenuator -18 dB (!) and noise blankers as well. Anyway, it was a lot of pleasure to operate in CQWW as usual. Many thanks to Andre VA2VVV, Steve VE2TKH, Frank VA2FGG, and Yuri VE3DZ for great help with the preparation of this DX-pedition to the Canadian North. 73, Igor VE3ZF - VE2IDX

VE3RVZSO LOW ALLFantastic contest, great to see 10m wide open!
VE3VYSA LOW ALLOnly single-element wire antennas used
VE3ZZSA HIGH ALLFantastic to have the old cx back. 10 meters was great!
VE5KSSA LOW 10M10m was much better than I expected
VE5SFSA LOW ALLInteresting conditions. The aurora l wall blocked all but the strong/large stations in Europe from VE5-land for most of the contest. CQ'ing with low power to Europe from here produced all of two QSO's. Thanks to the operators to the south in the US, Carib and South America area that sustained rates. Nice to have 10 metres back, but it would also be nice to have the bands open to Europe as well. 73
VE6CLESO LOW ALLFirst license 09-2021

VE6SYDSO LOW ALLFirst license 01-2222 2022-Jan-24
VE6TNSA HIGH ALLStarted out operating Low Power Unassisted but couldn't make a lot of headway in the pileups or hold a frequency when running. So I threw in the towel and engaged the amplifier and the DX cluster. I struggled on 80m and 160m, the low bands just didn't open up this far north. Broke a Million, just shy of 1.1M. Anyway, I had a great time and ended up putting in my best score ever. Thanks to my XYL of 39 years (she insists she is a YL with no X) who brought me food and drinks when the bands were smoking. :-)
VE6ZCSO LOW ALLMessy propagation condx meant no contacts outside of NA and SA on day 1, G1 storms were an intermittent problem over the whole weekend. Condx improved on Sunday to include Oceania and Europe. I am looking forward to 2023!
VE7BGPSO LOW ALLAfter an extended Summer we had the blustry fall WX this weekend. Back to the Radio to Contest it was fun
VE7CORSO LOW 15MFIrst HF activity in 30 years. As fun as I remembered!
VE7RSVSO LOW ALLa bit of a rough go for conditions after the first day. Replaced my old G5RV, which broke on me when undoing the connector, with a new ZS6BKW antenna, right up to the starting time for the contest. Would not tune on 80 metres for me so ended up just working the 4 higher bands this time around. Was nice to hear some DX though that haven't heard in a few years
VE9WHSA LOW ALLNeed to work on 40, 80 160 antennas
VE9XXSA HIGH 10MAlways a great contest. Thank goodness Cycle 25 is so alive!
VJ2JSO HIGH 20MHard to pin down propagation conditions with huge variances between great and poor
VJ2WSA HIGH ALLwe still have large number of ,but far from all , Indonesian and China Operators who have very wide distorted signals. And have no regard for other Band users , they do not listen just call call call...on already used frequency's Also there are a growing numbers of excellent polite operators in Indonesia also which is very very pleasing to hear

VK3GJGSO LOW ALLFirst license 03-2021
VK3IOSO HIGH 40MMany areas within VK and West Pacific had lightning storms during this contest and also recent flooding, so the low bands were not good and this may have impacted on activity from VK. But 40m turned out to be great, here in VK3, being the state or Victoria, in the south east corner of Australia. No lightning or flooding at my QTH. Still only using two 40m per side doublet antennas at 30 mtr high, each in different directions. I only worked on 40m and was using my SunSDR2DX and Sennheiser Wireless Head-Set and this I think worked really well. Cheers until next contest, from Ron
