| K0MUL | SA LOW ALL | Turning in log to support the other operators during the contest |
| K0RC | SA HIGH ALL | The first 12 hours propagation was in the toilet, everyone was complaining about the poor conditions. Things picked up on Saturday and were pretty good the remainder of the contest. Mine was a 13-hour adventure without setting any specific goal |
| K1AUS | SO LOW ALL | I was able to hear many more stations than were able to hear me |

| K2WPM | SO LOW ALL | Operated portable entirely on batteries in Melfa, Va |
| K2WR | SA HIGH ALL | A minor effort, but a score is a score. Hoped to capitalize on the fresh meat syndrome for Sunday afternoon, but couldn't get any runs going, although the S&P results weren't bad. Condx pretty decent for low spots and SFI |

| K3CCR | MULTI-TWO | K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For CQ WW SSB 2018, N3UM and W3GB operated Multi-Two Assisted. Due to family visits and other non-ham obligations we could only do 23 hrs. BIC vs 33 hrs. in CQ SSB 2017, 68% as much time. Even so we got 55% as many Qs and 84% as many mults. Not bad, given that SFI was 84 in 2017 and a minimal 69 this year. On 80 plus 40 m. we made only 6% fewer Qs and got the same number of total mults as we did in 2017, despite S-7 noise on 40 and S-9 noise on 80 the first night. But, on 20 and 15 m. the lower SFI and less BIC time this year meant 406 fewer Qs inevitable. Propagation was good on 20 and astonishing on 15 m. Got 77 Qs in 1.25 hr. after 1244Z on Sun. AM, fast-clicking on EU spots. Unexpected DX on 15 m ZL and FR, plus 6W, 7Q, and 9Q in AF. On 20 m. we worked Ducie, VP6 (!) plus Z2 and XT in AF and 4X and A4 in the Mid East. Also good to Mid East was 40 m got 4X, 9k, A7, and HZ |
| K3SOM | SA HIGH ALL | Operated 40-20-15-10 meters with good band conditions |
| K3TW | SA LOW 160M | It's always a challenge on 160m SSB! |
| K3URT | SO LOW ALL | If they only could hear me. Discouraging |
| K3ZJ | SO HIGH 20M | Had to cut it short on Sunday due to work commitment, but wanted to get on and greet many friends. Not counting zero-point USA QSOs, I worked 1100 different stations. Six countries provided 45.2% of the QSOs, lead by Germany with 13.6 percent! Thanks! (Although it would be nice to have more activity from outside the core countries.) The figures are that out of 1100 QSOs (net of W/K): DL - 150 QSOs (13.6%) I - 77 QSOS (7.0%) JA - 74 QSOs (6.7%) F - 73 QSOs (6.6%) EA - 63 QSOs (5.8%) & G - 61 QSOs (5.5%). I hope that I have the opportunity to see everyone again next year |

| K4WRX | SO LOW 20M | First licensed Tech 2/13/18, General 5/31/18 |
| K5RX | SO HIGH 80M | Line noise east and line noise west, so I gave up after 10 minutes. At least I made an appearance |
| K5TMT | SO LOW ALL | First licensed 2016 Feb 29 |
| K5ZD | SO HIGH ALL | Red Sox going 18 innings definitely reduced my operating time! |
| K6CSL | SO LOW ALL | Worst CQ WW SSB I've ever experienced! |
| K6NA | SO HIGH ALL | Shack dismantled due to big plumbing leak in August. Rebuilding house limited me to 28 hours of op time, but always enjoy the WW Phone action. Looking forward to the CW event in November. 73, Glenn K6NA |
| K6RAH | SA HIGH ALL | Fair band conditions, but I had limited time to participate this year |
| K6YYL | SO HIGH ALL | ADIF TO CABRILLO CONVERTER DIDN'T DO ZONES RIGHT |
| K7CAR | SO LOW ALL | Portable at Lava Beds, Calif. all dipoles at 30ft |
| K7HV | SA LOW ALL | GOING FOR MAX ENTITIES NOT SCORES, GREAT FUN! |
| K7SS | MULTI-ONE LOW | Good fun at the bottom of the cycle |
| K7STO | SO HIGH ALL | Good band conditions |
| K7TTU | SO HIGH ALL | Antenna used was a vertical dummy load |
| K7WXK | SO HIGH ALL | Just sending logs. No score required |
| K7XC | SA HIGH ALL | Well that was interesting. Lots of DX on 15, 20, 40, and 80 Meters. Conditions were pretty good at times with a few moments of solar weirdness. The activity seemed OK with plenty of Rare DX to chase around the bands. Many zones that were not heard of in recent years had at least one loud station representing it. Mostly click and pounce with a new to me Flex3000 that kicks butt for being a 10 year old SDR radio. I put it up there with a K3 for receive and seemingly limitless menu options to tailor it to your taste. Station: Flex3000, AL-80B at 800W, & a Timewave ANC-4 Noise canceler (Worth its weight in gold). Antennas: 4ele 10M at 25ft, 3ele 15M at 30ft, 3ele 20M at 43ft, 40M/80M Dual band Inv Vee at 38ft, 170ft long 160M Inv L at 28ft. 20M was King working 33 zones & 96 countries. Gave me a good taste for whats to come... CW WW DX CW! The granddaddy of all DX Contests. 73s from Northern Nevada. Thank You CQ for Hosting the Best Contests! |
