K5XUSO LOW ALLI need more muscle on 40 and 80 meters, but the higher bands were good
K5ZOSA HIGH ALLGreat Fun. Found several weakneses in the station CU Lloyd
K6CSLSO LOW ALLGreat conditions! A real pleasure
K6JEBSA HIGH ALLThis was definitely a 10m contest for me . . . plenty of DX, plenty of room to spread out and HEAR each other plenty of stations to work there. Conditions were actually quite nice, especially on 10m and 15m. 20m was in unusual form for me, I was able to work European stations well into the day. As usual, it's nice to hear so many of you when most of the time we just hear each other in CW/RTTY. For this contest, I was using a Yaesu FT-857D into an Ameritron ALS-500M running a cool 300watts. Antennas Butternut HF9V ground-mounted vertical with 83 radials. 10m was AWESOME! So much fun to be had. Thank you for a few new DXCC entities! Thank you for a couple new zones, and thank you for a whole lot of fun!!! No, I'm usually not a big fan of SSB contests, but I will DEFINITELY see you next year in CQWW SSB 2016! 73 (and KB to a few of you, you know who you are, dit dit!) -- Jack, K6JEB
K6ND/1MULTI-ONEWe had a blast operating from Wills station! Conditions were much better than expected, and 10 meters was a big surprise. K3JO did a great job in the overnight on 160 despite marginal to poor conditions. W1VE did most of the running and KE1J concentrated on multipliers. K6ND filled in in-between and provided some much needed relief. K6ND has a superbly engineered station on a not-very-big lot. The 80 and 160 wire 4-Squares did their magic, and the single C31xr and home-brew 2L 40 performed above and beyond the call. We also had a single C31, fixed on Europe, on a 20ft pole in the woods as our multiplier antenna. All in all, a fun time for a bunch of CW ops doing SSB
K6PGHSO LOW ALLThis the best contest of the year. I appreciate all the hard work both the operators and organizers put into it. Thank you all and 73

K9IDQSO HIGH 40MOOPS. Worked CE0CT but hit 'delete' so NOT in my log. CE0CT deserves credit for my mistake. Put up a 2-wire 80M beam but vertical had better report. Ended up on 40M instead. Had FUN with just a 40M inverted VEE. Two accidental dupes: YT7A,HK1NA(condx-QRM-misjudged calls) OOps! Chasing RU1A- I worked OK7O accidentally @ 7.124.62
