WB6JJJSA HIGH ALLWhat a fun contest... The high bands, like 10 Meters, were great, very strong stations from most everywhere. Unfortunately, the low bands were very noisy at S9. This was all S&P because of work on the ranch and our daughter's birthday party. See you in the next contest. Bill
WB9LRKSO LOW ALLFun as always
WD4KTFSO LOW ALLGot off to a bad start, USB cable to the radio was accidentally unplugged while moving the printer. Plugged the cable back in and was operational again. Finished the contest strong, thanks to good propagation on tens meters on Sunday. This is my personal best!!!
WD5FSA HIGH ALLFirst license 10/2023 First contest attempt, learned tips for my next contest Terrible lightning storms passed through requiring downtime both nights
WE6ZSA HIGH ALLSome of the best 10 meter conditions that I've ever heard!
WE9VSA HIGH ALLI didn't have a microphone (I left it on the boat from the /4 and C6 operations, yes, I only own one headset), but on Saturday morning, I found a USB headset and figured out how to use that with Writelog. But that introduced some other issues. Unfortunately, the audio from the K3 (LINE OUT, normally for recording) is stereo, so I only had the main VFO in one ear. I could not figure out how to force the K3 into mono output (don't think it's possible without a physical splitter/combiner?). I found a workaround by using the sub RX, and telling the K3 to link the VFOs (keep them both on the same freq). Then the next issue with the USB was a huge delay on the loud TX monitor audio, which caused my brain to freak out when trying to speak. The MON knob didn't adjust level. With the help of AI, it told me there's a way to adjust the level of the MON of the LINE OUT jack. Dialed that down to close to zero and my brain was much happier. Didn't operate all that much, log says 15 hours, but it is greatly inflated, as I'd pop into the shack to make a handful of Qs working the spotted multipliers, then get back to work: Getting ready to move back down onto the boat for the next 6 months, so prepping the house here and packing up stuff for the 2400 mile road trip and 500 mile boat trip. A 256 hour from Wisconsin. Almost felt like being DX!! This was mostly a 10M effort, with other bands thrown in chasing packet spots. K3, PGXL, KT34XA @ 50' Chad WE9V http://www.we9v.com

WQ6XSA LOW 20MThis is a 20/40-Meter CQ WW run from WA6TQT in Anza. The goal was to set an SO(A) record for 20-meters, with 40-meters as a backup plan. It would seem that DiD happen. Read more about this at: http://WQ6X.Blogspot.com
WV4AMSA LOW ALLOperator age 15 I decided to do this one SOAB with my G5RV and 100w. Boy that was rough. Conditions weren't that good here and no one could hear me. But managed to get 430 QSO's so at least happy with that. Thanks to all, 73!! -Jake, WV4AM
WW3HAMSO HIGH ALLDue to a recent lightning strike at my station 'Rig Interface' stopped working and I know of several times I forgot to switch bands on my computer. I tried to fix it when realizing what happened but I'm pretty certain there will be band mistakes
XE1AYSA LOW ALLThis time very good cndx, I only Search and Pound CQ zones and countries, because my antennas aren`t very good and with low power more difficult to be heard, but it was fun
