W6JBRSO HIGH ALLFantastic Conditions! 10 and 15 wide open all day. This cycle is looking really good! Stations were loud, clean and clear, no QSB, great openings.

W6MSNSO LOW ALLFirst license 04-2020 First licensed April 14, 2020
W6SCSA HIGH ALLSure was fun having 10 meters back in action!
W6USSO LOW ALLGood propagation!!! 10Meters looked like a busy 20M on the panagraph... A lot of operators violated the ID every 3 calls rule... This needs some heavy duty enforcement. Still a bunch of 10 KHz wide signals
W7BKSSO LOW ALLFirst license 02-2020 February 25, 2020
W7CXXSA HIGH ALLExcellent conditions with 10 meters opening to all regions of the world. Tower system is still undergoing repairs. So I installed temporary antennas for this event. KIO 6 band HEX beam on 20 ft. mast fixed toward EU and placed next to a 1,200 ft. cliff edge. Butternut HFV-2 vertical had 40 and 80 covered. Station: K-3 Twins and KPA-500. It was a nail biting finish, as propagation shifted during the last few hours allowing me to work ZD7(36) RU1(16) VR2(24), V85(28), TF3(40) and DU3(27) for country and zone multipliers. Looking forward to CQWW CW weekend. 73 Jack, WA7LNW (W7CXX, Collins Aerospace Radio Group station located in southwestern Utah)

W9RESO HIGH ALLGreat contest despite poor conditions on 160 and 80
W9YKSA HIGH ALLGreat to be heard around the world using wires!
WA1FCNSA LOW 15MThis was my refresher course on why I stick to CW
WA2CNVSO LOW ALLBest Band Conditions in years!! Great fun!!
WA2JQZSO LOW ALLThis year I worked more countries on the 10 meter band than any other band. With my limited power and antenna conditions, 10 meters was easier than to try to compete with pileups on 20 meters. It's nice to have the sunspot cycle giving you the wind in your sails again
WA2LMCSA LOW 10MTen meters was amazing this year
WA2WZTSO LOW 20MUsed my Xeigu G90 and G5RV dipole
WA5ZKOSO LOW ALLgreat openings on 10m. good to see the bands coming back so us little guys running 100watts and dipoles can grab some rare dx
WA6KHKSA HIGH ALLRough going with only a vertical at new QTH. That will change soon!
WA6URYSO HIGH ALLOperated remote from Tokyo, Japan
WA7GSA HIGH ALLLet me know if this works, if not I will try and send it again
WA7NBSO LOW ALL28 MHz was the best I've seen in many years
WA7YXYSA LOW ALLMy thanks to all the contest organizers and the participants! I had a great weekend
WA8YSA HIGH ALLI started mid-morning on Saturday. I did S&P and never ran out of stations for long. I probably stayed on a band or two, longer that I should have. The propagation on ten and fifteen was a real treat! It looked like things were never going to opening to the Pacific rim on those bands but they both did! Its probably been ten years since I worked into the Pacific on ten meters! 20m and lower was less impressive. I probably could have worked a few more stations on 80m but I shut down and went to bed about 1:30am. I got 4 hours of sleep and them worked 80 and 40m until it faded out. I went back to bed for an hour and a half. When I got back in the chair, the ten and fifteen were very good! I took a couple 20-30 minutes breaks that counted against my ON Time
WB0POHSO LOW 10MSadly only on air for 45 minutes - still had a GREAT time
WB0TEVSA HIGH ALLDid nothing but work mults. Propagation was best its been in years. Worked 121 DXCC, almost made DXCC on 15m alone (97). Nice to have 10m back
WB3GBLSO QRP 10MQRP station on East Coast of Virginia, Xiegu G90 at 5 watts
WB3JACSO LOW ALLFirst license 05-2020 licensed in May 2020
WB6JJJSA HIGH ALLThanks for a fun contest... I just wish the sun was better for the low bands. That A of 27 was a sink hole. 10 and 15 Meters were great both days with stations all the way up to 28.7 MHz. 73, Bill
WB7EUJSO LOW ALLUnfortunately, my radio faild to work on 20m at the beginning of the contest but the ham spirit in me of never giving up I struggled through and made more contacts than anyone else in the club
WC4ESO LOW ALLHurricane IAN blew down all low band antennas
WC7SSO QRP ALLConditions were great!! Good time had, looking forward to the next one too. See you then!! Dale - WC7S
WD4KTFSO LOW ALLHad to reinstall the Com4 port a the beginning of the contest because I had an older file for that port and the radio kept saying Com 4 needed to be reset
WD6TSA HIGH ALLBusy this weekend with premiere of my musical composition for dance (https://nancykarp.org/event/nancy-karp-dancers-40th-anniversary-season/). But managed a few hours in late morning/early afternoon, then later evening on Sat. 10 and 15 best. 40 noisy and 80 terrible. Mostly Caribb., SA, and Asia. Just a few EUs. Condx improved later in the day on Sat. Sunday morning seemed much worse than Sat. morning. As usual, due to terrain, I was able to bust pileups to the W and SW, but anything to the E or NE was only workable if I was the only guy on freq. and only if condx favored me. 100% S&P
WE2DXSA HIGH ALLI don't play to win, just play to play. I hope my contacts here help confirm those of others who really put in an effort
WE4BESO LOW ALLFirst license 09-2020 Rookie
WE6EZSO HIGH 10MConditions on 10M were like in good old times!
WE6ZSA HIGH ALLPretty good conditions, although a very high noise level
