CQ World Wide DX Contest
| Call | Category | Comments | G3PHO | SA HP 40M | Good conditions on Saturday but well down on Sunday during last 12 hours of the contest. Antennas here - 40m dipole @ 30ft, + inverted V + wire quarter wave groundplane with two elevated radials, base at 7 feet. Equipment FTDX5000MP + Acom 1010 amp At least two stations were signing /QRP. I did not log the /QRP suffix as it is not legal. I hope you count Z60WW in Kosovo | G3RLE | SO LP ALL | Dipoles at 13m for 7/14/21/28, 50m Inv L 13m high for 80/160m. 100watts | G3RTU | SA LP ALL | Antenna's still not fixed from 2014. Sadly noise level slightly higher from 2014 and still suffering, Broadband? | G3TJE | SO LP 10M | 10M VERY QUIET ON SUNDAY | G3V | MM | Great contest. Thoroughly enjoyed by all of us | G3VPW | SA HP 15M | Decided to go for a daytime op this year, 15m Single Op Assisted. Mostly S & P using local Skimmer, no internet connection. Very pleased with 600+ QSOs and 112 countries and 32 Zones (hope they all turn out valid. The only got-away was OA85O for Zone 10 and Peru right as the band was closing. Thoroughly enjoyed again, can't believe I've been doing this for more than 40 years each November and still having fun. Rig here was an Elecraft line-up K3+KPA500 to a simple dipole at 30ft | G3VYI | SO HP 20M | Just part time but many thanks for all the contacts and the rare ones! 73 mike G3V YI | G3WRR | SO LP ALL | On and off appearence during the event while doing domestic stuff. Using a simple 15ft vertical at ground level was a bad move! | G3YJR | SO LP 40M | Giving some points away | G3ZGC | SO HP 40M | Great fun. But I cant work the Far East! I can hear them but no QSOs! | G3ZNR | SO QRP 20M | I would be very grateful if you would please accept my paper log entry Single band 20 mtrs QRP Non assisted section. I do not have a computer logging system or the knowledge to operate it. Now in my 80s I take part in lots of contests hoping to keep the brain cells active. | G4AWW | Checklog | VE6JY made my day over 4000 miles about 3 Watts to a groundplane - first call | G4DBN | SA LP ALL | Just playing. Antennas wrecked by 70mph gusts | G4DDX | SO LP ALL | Band conditions seemed very good. I gave up at 12hrs before I realised it was 24hr for me. Most enjoyable. | G4EXD | SA HP 80M | Sloping 1/4 wave antenna 400 Watts | G4FKA | SO HP 15M | Very enjoyable two days with plenty to work | G4IUF | SO HP ALL | Better condx on Sunday | G4MUL | SA LP ALL | 100W & DIPOLE @ 30FT (10 MTR) | G4RGK | SO LP 15M | Rig = IC706, Antenna = Butternut HF6V-X | G5W | M2 | A bad weekend, weather-wise, meant we had one damaged tower, a failed HF yagi and problems with the receive antennas. Conditions, particularly on LF were excellent,and even 10m offered some good opportunities. So this is more of a M 1.5 entry than M2! | G8DX | SA HP ALL | Fun entry only | G8GHD | SO LP ALL | tried to correct call sign as running low power & gales this end but not always successful | GD6IA | SO HP ALL | Great contest as always! 73 | GJ2A | SO QRP ALL | You can be as prepared as ever for the contest but one thing you can't control is the weather. Consistent Force 8/9 winds battered the Channel Islands for the whole week-end. I lost the 40m dipole on the 2nd night and the main beam got stuck South on Saturday afternoon. This limited my ability to Run into EU and the US, but working African mults was no problem! I spent a lot more time doing S&P as a result -with a very low C3- and was getting frustrated as my score wasn't growing fast enough.. I love this game ! See you next year. Kenwood TS590S dialled down @ 5 watts - SW: Win-Test Optibeam OB 11-5 at 60ft - Stuck South - 10, 15, 20m Force 12 C3 at... 25ft (Back-up) Monoband Dipoles at 55ft - 40, 80, 160m | GJ3YHU | SO QRP 15M | Always interesting seeing what can be worked with 5W to a wire dipole. Never did QSO with most of my neighbouring countries despite hearing a lot of them | GM0OBX | SO QRP ALL | not enough time | GM0OQV | SA HP ALL | Had a great time | GM3WIJ | Checklog | HF Band Conx reasonable 15M and 20M very good | GM3X | SO HP 40M | Average Condx, but serious Rain/snow static, plus auroral condx | GM4ZUK | SO HP ALL | Not a serious entry - just operated around family commitments. No antenna for 7MHz | GW3KDB | SO HP ALL | FT1000mp Acom 1010 400 Watts Doublet at 50Ft. Inverted L | GW5R | SA HP 40M | Conditions very rough from here | HA0GK | Checklog | Homemade TS9D Power:5W YP-3 3 element Yagi | HA2MN | SO LP ALL | It was a fun to take part in the contest. The propagation was strange with many good openings and changing time by time. It was really not bad but not on the top this year. Many thanks for QSOs, see you next year. Rig TS-530SP 100W, ant 21 mtrs long wire, the same for all bands | HA3DX | SA LP 40M | 40mts was a good choice this year. Best CW score I ever had | HA3FMR | SA LP 40M | Tnx nice contest.

AMP-AMERITRON AL-811, Power Out 450W | HA4FY | SA QRP 40M | My home made monoband qrp rig just a toy, a sling shot among big guns, but the propagation helped me to hunt some new countries | HA5NB | SA QRP 160M | IC-756PROIII 5 W, inv.
