| N8DE | SO LOW ALL | Spent less time operating but scored the HIGHEST ever! Conditions were terrific, especially 10 meters. Set a goal of trying to beat my highest previous score (600,000 points) .. when I passed that point, my goals Changed to 1,000,000 points and 1000 QSOs ... CLOSE! |
| N8II | SO HIGH 10M | SEE 3830. Great condx and activity from EU, 12Z hour rate was 209, 13Z 197 Saturday. The band was not open to deep Asia = zones 23, 23,24,26,28 |
| N8MWK | SO QRP 10M | I was using a Yaesu FT-817nd and most imortant a 2000 foot non resonant rhombic antenna that I put up over the summer just for this type of use. I used also a 3 element wide spaced yagi but for most part the rhombic blows it away. Stations said I had good signals all over the globe and It only took me 2 or 3 calls to get through the pile ups at times instead of calling for 20 mins at a time. The rhombic is heads above anything I have ever used in more then 20 years of ham radio |
| N8NYI | SO LOW ALL | Great to work KG6DX Guam from Ohio |
| N8OBJ | SO HIGH ALL | NO CLUE ON SCORE |
| N8YP | SA LOW ALL | Lots of activity and worked many new countries for my DXCC |
| N9BT | SA LOW ALL | Good conditions on 10M! I wish I could have been on more |
| N9TF | SO LOW ALL | WOW! What a great time!! I was still under the influence of jet lag, just returning from a month in China. I wasn't sure when I would be able to operate when I would be able to stay awake! I was able to operate some on 40m early Saturday morning and caught some pacific and one JA. Then I had to attend to a bunch of honey- dos Saturday day that had accumulated while I was away at work in China. My intention was to hit 40m again Saturday night, as I wanted to break in my new Cushcraft D4 rotatable dipole. Well, I got a little more than an hour in Saturday night when jet lag kicked in and I was down for the count:( I hit it as hard as I could Sunday on 10/15 and 20, but ended up napping off and on out of my control!! 10m was awesome! I had downsized my antenna in the spring, putting two rotatable dipoles, a D3W for 12/17/30m and a D4 for 10/15/20/40m. My main focus to be 30 and 40m. The D4 worked great, as conditions were super. Just wish I had had more time to get acclamated to my time zone before the contest. I should be in good shape for the CW contest later this year! OPerating conditions, Icom 756 ProIII 100 watts, D4 rotatable dipole at 37'. See Photos attached to entry |
| N9WNN | SA LOW 20M | This was my first contest and I had a great time |
| NC4MI | SO HIGH ALL | 15m AND 10m WERE HOT. GREAT TO SEE THE BANDS OPEN AGAIN.73, BILL, NC4MI |
| ND0C | SO QRP ALL | This was really fun. Conditions on 10 and 15 were great and 20 was good in the evening. 40 and 80 were very challenging for QRP from the Midwest with mediocre antennas. The DX station ops have great ears - thanks for pulling me though the splatter! Do the guys making QSOs on the band edges get penalized? Or am I just a dufus for passing up the Qs to stay within the regulations and miss points and mults in the process? |
| ND3R | SO LOW ALL | Great contest as always. Glad to see 10 meters so open. Hope it stays that way for a while. See you all next month |
| NF4A | SA HIGH ALL | 10 Meters.......WOW !!!!!!! |
| NF9V | SA HIGH ALL | NICE CONDITIONS ON 10 AND 15METERS |
| NH6AB | SO LOW ALL | 10m was a real workhorse! My highest number of QSOs ever. Last day was like my callsign was code for tune up on my frequency! |
| NJ2X/3 | SO LOW ALL | Thank you for running a wonderful contest. 73 NJ2X |
| NJ6G | SO LOW ALL | 100 Watts |
| NK7U | MULTI-MULTI | Three QSOs marked XQSO as we were out of band |
| NL7V | SA HIGH ALL | Enjoyed working in the contest |

| NN0Q | SO LOW ALL | Nothing like a great contest to clear the summer cobwebs out of this old brain! |
| NN7SS | SA QRP ALL | Just out to see how many DXCC I can work in one weekend while QRP. Final total 102 unique DXCC entities. Start of contest had 10m good for an hour, then 15m, while 20m was good until 03z when I stopped with 40 DXCC in the log. On my Saturday morning I started at sunrise 15z, and spent lots of time in pileups, but worked dozens of new ones. Lots of stations I called and called but couldn't work. Wow, crowded conditions. Since I was only looking for new countries, it was a joy to skip pileups for countries I no longer needed, By 17z I had lost 10m to Europe so I took a break, and then just worked on and off every couple hours. By end of Saturday I was at 87 DXCC in the log. Sunday morning sunrise to the end of contest I kept plugging away looking for new countries. Lots of new ones I couldn't hear, and lots more who couldn't hear my QRP. New countries slowly rolled in, slower and slower as the end approached. Last year was 116, this year was 102. No problem with the station that I could perceive, I guess conditions weren't quite as good. See you in Sweepstakes!

| OE3WMW | SO LOW 160M | First time on 160 m single band /single OP, veryinteresting and suprising! Never heard so many stations and countries on 160m before ! |
| OE4A | SO LOW ALL | The shorter deadline is very much appreciated! |
| OE5T | MULTI-TWO | Nice condx. Great participation. Lots of fun. Happy operators. See you 2013 |

| OG3MS | SA LOW ALL | ICOM IC-756 PRO3, HEIL HEADSET, KLM KT-34A + DIPOLE FOR 40M AND 80M BANDS. LP, POWER 100W |
| OG3P | SO LOW ALL | I used TS-590, OB11-3 yagi and Windom for 40/80/160m and N1MM logger this year. The actual maximum power output was 100W. Managed to get a bit more Q?s and points to 2011. It was fun. Thanks for nice contest |
| OG6N | SA HIGH ALL | As I had been flu-ridden for a couple of weeks and therefore could not prepare for this contest the way I wanted, I knew that this was not going to be a full bore effort. Just before the contest I managed to repair one of my power divider boxes so that I was able to use my fixed 20m JA beam for the second direction. I was just running with one radio because I just had not enough time to prepare my SO2R setup. This really hurt the multiplier and the QSO count. There seems to be a long list of things to be finished before the CW leg. The propagation was decent but not great declining as the contest progressed. There were nice signals on 10m but the openings were shorter than last year due to the lowish solar flux. We did not have the local evening openings into USA that we often enjoy on 20m and 15m. The propagation on the higher bands took a dive after sunset. This also shows in the number of multipliers. Many multipliers were heard but could not be worked due to the propagation. The lower bands were not very good even when compared to 2011 which was not so spectacular either. On Sunday evening 40m was almost closed to Europe. Last year I was suffering from an inflamed shoulder and that cut down my operating hours. This time I was able to work 400 more QSOs but I was 75 multipliers shy of the last year's result. Nevertheless I managed to break my 2011 score |
| OH0V | SO HIGH 20M | Changed one QSO to X-QSO as I think it was a Finn making a poor joke. Again, my N1MM gave a different score to Cabrillo than it gave to score window. I guess 2012 will show another record in log count, despite shortened submission time |
| OH0X | SO HIGH ALL | Great fun, but good high band conditions ended with nightfall |
| OH1F | SA HIGH 15M | Nice contest, FB conditions to US and JA! |
