W5MMWSO LOW ALLFirst submitted log for CQWW SSB Did not have lots of time this weekend, but made some new DXCC
W5PRSO HIGH 10MBetter than I expected at the bottom of the sunspot cycle
W5THTSA HIGH ALLFirst time using assistance, worked fine until 80 meter antenna broke off!
W6BSSA HIGH ALLCool First CQ WW contest
W6NKRSO LOW ALLWhoo! That was fun!
W6RKCSO HIGH 80M3 contacts into the contest, PG&E shut off the power
W6UESA HIGH ALLA mix of high and low power depending on the antenna
W7CXXSA HIGH ALLFriday and Saturday seemed good participation wise. Used a 160 meter BOG (beverage on the ground) antenna receiving array, located at the remote site, on low bands. My transmit antenna still needs improvement. High winds Sunday caused a local power outage. That limited my opportunity to participate in the EU opening. Station: K3 Twins, KPA-500, HEX Beam @ 70 ft, 80 meter sloper, 160 dipole, 40 meter vertical and inverted-V. 73 Jack, WA7LNW HF remote located near Zion National Park, Utah
W7GESSA HIGH ALLPut up tower on Friday. Had a lot of fun setting up
W8LRJSA LOW ALL 4/13/2018

WA4TMJSO HIGH ALLThanks
WA5SWNSO LOW 20MStrangest propagation I have ever seen. Band wide open Friday night but died when the greyline passed (just after the contest started). QRN was S9 - S9+40 all day Saturday, jackhammers, with a few short breaks. Sunday was 'leapfrog' day - Brazil talked to Canada, Japan talked to East Coast, Cape Verde talked to West Coast - - but I couldn't get them to hear me in the middle!
