| KC2HRG | SO LOW ALL | Great Contest, lots of activity on 10 meters |
| KC2JRQ | SO LOW ALL | Terrific Band openings on 10m! Worked into Hawaii for the first time!. Great time for the "Small Guns"! Hopefully the new Technicians will take advantage |
| KC2LST | SO HIGH ALL | Band conditions on Saturday began as not that good, given current outstanding contions generally. In New Jersey, we had a freak snowstorm that dumped a foot of snow Saturday afternoon and evening, causing havoc between my wire antennas and amplifier. We had substantial damage in the area - power outages, road closures and a state of emergency. Compounding that, on Sunday, my logging program logged 42 15 meters QSOs erroneously on 80 meters (my boneheaded mistake for not assuring that it was communicating with the transceiver properly) so I had to estimate the frequencies those QSOs actually occured on. All in all, this was a challenging contest. Conditions on Sunday were exceptional. I operated search-and-pounce exclusively. My thanks to those hams that reported me as a "dupe" on 15 meters - they were of course correct and that should have alerted me to a logging problem sooner than I discovered. Lesson learned: make sure logging program is recording frequencies correctly between operating sessions. Thanks also to all hams who participated - what a great group and congratulations to you all for your dedication to operating excellence! |
| KC4GL | SO HIGH ALL | BEST 10M CONDX EVER |
| KC6X | SO HIGH ALL | Aye Capt'n! There be sunspots! Best condx during CQWW for years. My first time over 1 million points. During the morning opening on 10m, solid from 28300 to past 29000 with EU/AF! Rare from here on the Left Coast. 15m, 20m, and 40m were packed wall to wall. I can only hope CQWW CW will be as good |

| KD7DCR | SO HIGH ALL | NEED MORE SPOTS!!.. Mostly "search and pounce" type operations... Never got an answer trying CQ/run.. To much noise on 80/160! Next year will be better! |
| KD8HHG | SO LOW 10M | could'nt play much this year darn flu |
| KE4UW | SA HIGH ALL | Put up an EX-14 yagi on an AB-621 mast normally used for Field Day and had a blast using a beam for the first time in a long time in a contest. Set a goal of 1000 Qs, but reached that then decided to keep going to top 2 Million score. Focused on 10-15-20 since I had the beam. I missed the bobtail curtain on 40 though (had to take it down to put the beam up) |

| KK1X | SA LOW ALL | Well, all was going according to plan until that freak snowstorm. 80m loop is down, 80m dipole is limping, but being out of power for the last 24 hours of the contest really put a crimp in my participation. Next year. 73, John KK1X |
| KK4CLY | SA LOW 10M | I AM A 12 YEAR OLD ROOKIE |

| KL2R | MULTI-TWO | Wow! Best band conditions in over 10 years in Alaska. Great DX. Great fun!!! |
| KL2SX | SO LOW ALL | My first contest logging on a computer. Hope my logging is accurate and complete! |
| KL7AIR | MULTI-ONE | Beat 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 |
| KL8DX | SO HIGH 10M | I 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! |
| KO4DI | MULTI-ONE | About 27 hours total operating time. Best we could do |
| KP2/K0BBC | SA LOW 10M | My 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 |
| KQ6X | SO LOW ALL | Had fun with 10, 15 & 20. But 40 & 80?? |
