KL7AIRMULTI-SINGLE HIGHBeat our previous score again! Great Contest. We introduced two new Technicians to HF during the event. They did a great job and we hope they will return for future events
KL8DXSO HIGH 10MI was never expecting to make over 1350 contacts on 10 meters! I started as high power but after experiencing amplifier problems, I finished with low power. Much to my suprise the band was hot enough and it really didn't matter. Seemed like a new country could be heard with each turn of my VFO. It was great to once again be reacquainted with my old friend, 10 meters!
KO4DIMULTI-SINGLE HIGHAbout 27 hours total operating time. Best we could do
KP2/K0BBCSA LOW 10MMy first CQWW contest. Ten meters was wonderful. 40 and 80 meters never got hot for me. I enjoyed handing multipliers to so many conacts. Can't wait until next year

LU3HFASO QRP 10MSOUTH ALSO EXIST
LU5MTSO LOW 10Mwww.bureaudeargentina.com.ar
LU7HZSA QRP 10MOperated SO2R FT840(r1) & FT890(r2) ALC controlled to stay QRP, 5W or less. 3 El Yaqui at 50 Ft as primary, 4BTV as secondary. Homemade SO2R controller and running home made software to integrate N1MM with OmniRig (PMSO2V/MM2OR). Good level of activity, lot?s of DX stations. Solar activity High. Better CONDX during Saturday than Sunday, somewhat difficult to work EU stations. However more number of stations on Sunday to compensate. Can not run more than 29 hours, mixed CONDX and sickness limitations All in all went higher than plan, very much fun and looking already to CQ WW CW!!
LX7ISO HIGH ALLThis is my best score I ever made in the CQWW Contest. I was not able to operate the full time as I had a flu. Thanks for all the QSOs

LZ2JRSO HIGH ALLLZFFC.COM
LZ2STOSO LOW ALLFT-857D, ANT1-Doublet, ANT2-Spiderbeam Many thnaks for the great Contest! Really
LZ2SXSO QRP ALLGreat condition on higher bands ! We all enjoyed it especially QRP fellows.The lack of proper antennas for 40 and 80 forced me to try the same category.Ihave to say that having a good propagation on one hand and directional antenna on another-you will not feel as " a looser " on bands.Of corce you need to wait until BIG GUNS working the desired station before you but it gives you a time to find first another one.It was 100 percent Search and Pounce mode work ,and I had a fun to listen and work very rare DX stations.It is not true that QRP is just loosing a time even without DX cluster. I will try to improve my aerial setup before CQ-WW-CW and to test it in LZ-DX-Contest.Good oportunity for all CW contesters. Let condition be the same or litlle bit better... ;-) 73 Boyan / LZ2SX
