KP3ZSA HIGH ALL7851 went bad on me after a few hours... most of the qsos with TS-590s
KQ2MSO HIGH ALLLots of antennas broken in the May 15th Macroburst with 110 mph wind gusts have still not been repaired, so this was a very limited effort with 1 radio. Always fun to say hello to old friends and make new ones. Tnx for the q's and the mults! 73 Bob KQ2M
KR2QSO QRP ALLTOUGH CONDX FOR QRP. ONLY TWO QSO'S IN LAST 1.5 HOURS
KS4AASA LOW 40MAMAZED HOW GOOD THE 42' VERTICAL WORKED WITH JUST 100W. Used a Sennheiser gaming headset with adapter...worked great!
KS7TSO HIGH ALLOnce again 20 meters proves to be the hottest band during this sun spot minimum. The low bands aren't following the prop book at all. What happened to those huge signals from South America I heard on 40 and 80 in the last cycle? Also dx stns not hearing pileups!

LC6CSA HIGH ALLConditions were ok for the bottom of the sunspot cycle, but unexpected antenna issues reduced the activity on the three lower bands. For that and other reasons only approx. 29 hours of operation vs 42 hours planned. Good runs on 20 and 15 m (Sunday only), quiet on 10 m on 60 degrees north. Thanks to LA4HC for letting me use his Honor Roll station

LU3DRPMULTI-ONEThis was our first contest, with which we are very happy, not only to participate but also for everything achieved personally and for the growth of the radio club as an institution. Thanks to the club's board of directors and to LU7YS, Sergio Landoni who I offer all your knowledge and experience so that LU3DRP could transmit in the best possible way. Thanks to all the stations contacted and participants on behalf of those who operate the LU3DRP (LW8DXR LU5DY LU7EV LU8EY LU8DIJ LW1ECK) and all those members of the club that were made to live this experience. 73'dx Norberto LW8DXR
