K0DDDMULTI-ONEThe low band openings were weak but still fun
K0EZWSA HIGH ALLPut your comments here. Use multiple lines if needed
K0GEOMULTI-ONEBased upon solar behavior over the past summer and fall, we expected WW SSB 2016 to be different from the previous several respective contests. However even our most imaginative forecasts did not predict the observed propagation. Our typical daylight 10-15-20m and nighttime 40m runs to EU and JA were comparatively to very limited (caused by more southerly auroral zones?), vs a trans-equatorial pipeline to a seemingly endless stream of great Central and South American operators who were thankfully out in full force. In short 2016 will go down in the books for us as a show that upended years of our allegedly conventional wisdom, which provided many hours of great education and entertainment. See you in 2017, many thanks and 73!
K1AUS/7SO LOW ALLLicensed November of 2014. 40 meters very noisy at my QTH and signals where weak on all bands but had a lot of fun. Looking forward to next year. Email certificate ok if I am eligible to receive one
K1MCSO LOW ALLIt was nice to hear 10m open around noon time on Sunday. New England had a pipeline to the Canary Is. that allowed me to work four EA8 stations in a half hour
K1MTDSO LOW ALLThis year featured QSB and propagation challenges, but I still had a lot of fun!
K1OLSO LOW 20MKenwood TS590SG Ant: G5RV
K1VRSA HIGH ALLlot of fun for a teenager like me!
K2MVSO LOW ALLDate of first license 07-Jul-2015
K2TERSA HIGH ALLHaving all indoor antennas was more of a disadvantage. Still fun!
K3CCRSO HIGH ALLK3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. For the CQ WW SSB only I (N3UM) was available. I went with the Classic overlay as I did in 2015 and put in 20.2 hr. Activity was good but 10 and 15 m. propagation was much worse than last year with SFI down to 76 vs 106. Last year I got long runs of EUs on 20 thru 10 m but this year I never heard an EU on 10 and got only 54 EUs in one 54-min. run on 15, and 91 EUs in a 74-min. run on 20. The result and 10 this year, not nearly offset by 189 more points and 7 more mults on 20. Only excitement on 15 m. was CE0, Easter Island, and on 10 m. ZD8, Ascension Island. Low-band numbers were down slightly this year, maybe because the k index was up. Weak signals on 40 and 80, could not run. I never heard any Mid East stations on any band except for one TA QSO on 20 m
