CQ World Wide DX Contest
| Call | Category | Comments | K9KE | SA HP ALL | Society of Midwest Contesters | K9KJ | SO LP ALL | Since the contest fell next to Thanksgiving, I couldn't do much | K9MA | SO HP ALL | Five mults in the last 3 minutes! | K9QJ | SO LP ALL | Second attempt at a CW contest. All S&P. If I get most QSO to confirm I should have CW DXCC. I thought I would never be able to do CW or even come close to CW DXCC. I'm beginning to like CW | K9UIY | SO LP 80M | Major surgery 11 days prior to this contest prevented me from a full time effort, so I chose a single band 80 M entry. I was limited as to the time in chair, and my shack is in the basement of the home with 13 stair step down to the shack. I needed assistance in order to navigate those stairs, and my xyl was able to assist. My total hip replacement I consider a success, and this contest allowed me to somewhat take my mind off of the discomfort I was having. Thanks to all for the Q's and I look forward to next year again in this, one of my favorite radio sporting events each year! | KA1DBE | SO LP ALL | Good OPS. Thanks for the Qs | KA3NUV | SA LP ALL | Night after night, nothing but strange dreams | KB3MP | SA LP ALL | Inverted vees and an end-fed longwire can still get the job done | KB8W | SA LP ALL | My first entry for CQWW CW | KB9DKR | SO LP ALL | First time CQWW.

Conditions weren't exceptional here in the upper Midwest US, but they were pretty darn good! Hawaii on 80m for my station? Great! Well into the Pacific, Oceana, and Africa on 15 & 20, but didn't experience anything on 10m | KD9MS | SO LP ALL | Lots of fun! A lot of familiar calls! | KE0YI | SA LP ALL | My score was nothing to brag about, but had a good time working a CW contest for the first time in 5 years | KE8M | SA HP ALL | SO2R Finally 2 K3s's one in each earphone = fun ! | KF2O | SA HP ALL | encouraging to see how many countries were represented on CW mode | KF3G | SO LP ALL | Operated from FM29jw QSOs CW Mult.

Stations in EU were happy, too | KH7X/W7 | SA HP 80M | THIS EFFORT DEDICATED TO MY DEAR FRIEND, CARL, N4AA, NOW SK. ALOHA | KI6OY | SO LP ALL | 100 watts and wire s&p | KJ0P | SA LP ALL | Thanks CQ for the email invite and encouragement | KJ5Y | MSH | In summation: This is what you get with a fair station, good operators, 50% of team missing. Will attempt it again with renewed fury and vigor next year.. maybe for CQ WPX | KJ9C | SO HP ALL | Too old to get serious about a full time effort. Just trying to see how many mults I can find in a few hours on a family weekend | KK9N | SA HP ALL | I was only able to get about 6 hrs in at the remote site this year | KL7R/W7 | SO QRP ALL | Even worked Africa with 5 watts! | KM6JD | SO HP ALL | Great contest. Had lots of local QRN during my 20m JA runs. Made things difficult for the last three hours of the contest. 40m seemed much better on Friday night compared to Saturday night. HF conditions were fair to poor with 10m being closed here in Nevada. Did very little on 80m due to poor antenna configuration. 160m was much better in terms of antenna configuration (using my 60 foot tower with C31-XR Yagi) but still didn't do much there either. 40, 20 and 15 were my best bands. Was very pleased with how my new 40m vertical performed. All in all, it was a very fun contest with great signals and fantastic operators. Very professional group of contesters. Rig (20,15,10m) quarter-wave vertical at 7 feet Antenna (160,80m) 25 tower with Yagi on top | KN1H | SO QRP 15M | 15M QRP 5W to end-fed wire | KN4Y | SO LP ALL | Enjoyed | KQ2M | SO HP ALL | First time that I ever had TWO 200+ hours from Stateside, and a 200+ hour on BOTH days! It's incredible to me that with ZERO sunspots and an active geomagnetic field with K=4 that I could make 582 q's on 15 in 19 zones and 65 countries in four hours while operating with only ONE radio! WOW! Thanks for the q's and mults! 73 Bob KQ2M | KQ8Z | SO LP 20M | much prefer my location last year at VP9I | KR2Q | SO QRP ALL | Day 2 much better. Great to work a around 10 JAs near the end on 20m. Nice with QRP from NNJ! | KS0M | SO HP ALL | All S&P and I had a lot of fun | KS7T | SO HP ALL | The 9Y4 station was more popular on 80 than the zone 33 boys - took | KT5TE | SO LP ALL | Rookie | KV3T | SA LP ALL | 2015 | KX7L | SO HP ALL | Circumstances kept BIC time even less than usual. And S9 power line noise on Saturday night didn't help either. Still, had some fun, glad to see 15 open | LA2AB | SO LP 40M | Condx were predicted to be good, I agree to that Condx were very good on 40m during contest Enjoyed the contest, back next year! | LA6XI | SO HP ALL | Thanks excellent contest ! 73 | LA8AW | SA LP ALL | Had a lot of fun |
