|---|---|---|
| W0ETT | SO LOW ALL | Best DX conditions since last solar cycle peak! - W0ETT Rig: IC756pro3 to HF yagis and low band verticals |
| W0RAA | SA LOW 10M | Decided to work just 10 meters. What a blast. It was open from one end of the band to the other and one side of the world to the other. It was like the good old days. I operated strictly S&P and enjoyed myself immensely. It was fun busting some pretty good pileups. I hope the upcoming CQWW CW offers band conditions as good as this weekend. Thanks to the propagation gods |
| W0RU | SA LOW ALL | Ten meters was fantastic! |
| W0UA | SO HIGH ALL | About as much fun as you can legally have! |
| W1CSM | MULTI-MULTI | W1CSM = YCCC N4ADC = no club |

| W2AAB | SO LOW 10M | FIRST EFFORT ON 28 MHZ SSB IN MORE THAN 30 YEARS. WORKED VK, ZL, AND E51, BUT NOT ONE JA! I HEARD THEM FINE, BUT THEY DIDN'T HEAR ME. ON TO THE C.W. WEEKEND!! |
| W2ANQ | SO LOW ALL | Great South Bay ARC (member) |
| W2CG | MULTI-ONE | Strictly a S&P effort. A rare early nor'easter hit Saturday morning, left 8 inches of snow and lots of tree limbs down. Lost power at noon, wasn't restored until the following Wednesday evening. Generator broke down. Shut down and went to warmer climates in North Carolina. Condx were great, hopefully will remain the same for CW Test |
| W2GPS/3 | SA HIGH ALL | It was great to have 10 meters open again. I was time constrained by family obligations each day but I still beat my best previous score by a wide margin. The new antennas worked well but I have work to do before the next contest. Thanks to all who supported me earlier in the year with erecting the new tower and with defending it before the AA county Board of Appeals |
| W2HCB | SO LOW ALL | Had alot of fun ran 25 watts and a g5rv |

| W4PFM | SO LOW ALL | Mother nature took her toll on my operation this weekend with a 4 inch snow, power outage and lots of yard to clean up. Hopefully I can give it a better try next year! |
| W4QN | SA HIGH ALL | Personal best Score - 10m was the 'go to ' band S&P worked better then Running, 160m was a bust and will be next antenna improvement project |

| W5CT | MULTI-MULTI | Susan and I had an "open house" for this contest to invite new and inexperienced contesters to participate in a major contest. We had 21 attendees of which about a third were experienced operators. I believe that many of these new folks will move on to trying contests from their home stations. We used W5CT which ia the CTDXCC's club call. It turned out to be a very good contesting call. It was a lot of fun working with the new people. QSL via K5OT. 73, Richard & Susan - K5NA/K5DU |

| W6SA/7 | SA HIGH ALL | What a difference sunspots make! Scored more than 5 time last year's score |
| W7IV | MULTI-ONE | There were two excruciating nights on 40-80-160, but the days were fantastic with 10 and 15 wide open were fabulous! We were shorter-staffed than last year but had a lot of fun. Lots of things broke, but we'll be back up and running soon :-) |

| W9IIX | SA HIGH 20M | great contest conditions! |

| WA3AER | SA LOW ALL | 10 AND 15M BANDS WIDE OPEN!! MADE FOR MUCH MORE FUN & SUCCESS FOR THIS OP! |
| WA3DMD | SO LOW ALL | 25 Watts Vertical Antenna |
| WA4OAB | SO LOW ALL | Band conditions were the best in a long time, sure was good to hear 10 meters wide open |
| WA5IYX | SO LOW ALL | (2002) FT-847; (1977) 3-e Wilson mono Yagi @ 20' AGL; 15-m h.b. Yagi @ 14' AGL; 20-40-75 m fan dipole @ 14' AGL 10-m resurgence was THE big news - conditions forcing activity to well above 29 MHz for the first time since 2003. All my QSOs except for some 31 there were S&P, with short rates with that often near 1 per minute so dense were the signals. Getting Tunisia and Iceland were nice catches. The time between 15m opening to Eu and 10m doing so was c. 15 minutes, so most of the 15m activity was during the local afternoons |
