M2LSA HIGH 15MAmplifier blew at 11am Sunday, rest of contest on just 100w :-(
M3CSO HIGH 20MNot much spair time this weekend. Had to work all day Saturday and part of Sunday. Will try to be more organised next year. Great contest but not as good as the CW Leg
M3WSA HIGH ALLA gentle entry - mostly S & P with cluster assistance and only three bands available here
M4AMULTI-TWOBetter conditions than expected, especially on 10m. Thanks for the QSOs from the team at Cambridge University
M4PSA LOW ALLFirst Licensed 6th November 2012 (06/11/2012)
M5TSO LOW 15MBetter condx on Saturday than Sunday. Local QRM forced QRT early on Sunday
M5ZSA LOW ALLK3, 5 meter wire with ATU (LDG), Win-Test 4.16 I always operate from decent multi-op station for CQ WW since 1988 so this year's is completely different experience for me. At least healthy weekend as I enjoyed nice autumn walk both days but really really bored. I need some place for CW next month.... Sorry for not answering greetings as I do not have foot switch and using F4 (my call) and F2 (exchange) only. 73 Kazu M0CFW, M5Z, JK3GAD
M6FCYSO LOW 20MFirst licensed in 2015
M6HKDSO LOW 20MFirst licensed 25th June 2015
M6TMULTI-TWOVery pleased to put M6T multi-op back on the air, all new ops apart from two of us. Rebuilding for the future and many thanks to station owner G4BAH. Great to have such good HF conditions, we all had a really good time the team got on very well together
M6WIDSO LOW ALL6th nov 2014
M6ZSO QRP 160MWASTED MY TIME STICKING TO TOP BAND just wiped out by big stations
MM2NSA HIGH ALLCame on to give some points away and got carried away with the decent conditions. No 160/80 antenna so score is badly compromised
MM3NRXSO LOW ALLICOM IC-736 10 WATTS MA5B @ 15M AGL
MM3TSO HIGH ALLElecraft K3 and OCFD. Lots of stations from Eastern Europe and Russia with incredibly loud and clear audio on their frequency, but garbled papps and mwapps from them on my frequency, over 4KHz away! This gives them such an unfair advantage, there really is no contest. Great conditions on all bands, ears still recovering from the splatter
MM4DSA LOW 40MA decidedly part-time effort this year....shame I didn't have more time. Used SD for logging again.
MW7XSA HIGH 15MIcom 7000+400W to a vertical dipole/horiz dipole/2 ele Yagi at 5m high
N0AXESO HIGH ALL2013
N0ECTSO LOW ALLTS-590
N0KOE/4SO LOW ALLMy best DX WW ever. 10 & 15 meters were the best from North Carolina, especially 15. I was amazed at the number of stations on the air. QRM made it difficult to separate some signals. My little TS-430 & G5RV did pretty well all consideredMade it a challenge at times, but that is the fun of it, right? I find that I am not quite as quick at 76 than I was in my earlier years. What a great hobby to have for retirement
N0LD/5SA LOW ALLThank you! I picked up a few new countries and a few more states
N0ODKSA HIGH ALLOnly reason for assisted is for 160M Hawaii SSB search. Rained Friday night and part of Saturday morning. Band conditions were good but I need to better 80M antennas. Focus low band more in following years for cycle. Not a lot of Zone 18 out there
N0UUSA HIGH ALLGreat openings to India and Middle East
N0WRKSO HIGH 15MSubmitted late for check log use
N1BCLSA HIGH ALLIt sure got interesting in the last hour of the contest when stations in Asia could be copied in W1 land
N1DCSO LOW ALLThis was a 100% S&P effort with limited hours. Glad 10M opened up. I spent most of my time on 10/15/20. Very tough on the ears compared to CW contesting. Station: TenTec Omni 7 @ 100W, Heil ProSet Plus with HC4 element Antennas: 4 element Triband yagi at 30ft, 80/40 dipoles, 160M inverted L Computer: Win 7 PC running N1MM Highlights: Breaking pileups on the first try (that DX setting on the Heil HC4 really works) Working WL7E on 20M for a double mult with 2 minutes to go Thanks for the QSO's. 73 Rick N1DC
N1FZOSO HIGH ALLTHIS IS A CHECK LOG ONLY. K3LR WAS CONTACTED TWICE BY MISTAKE
N1URSO HIGH ALLFirst time recording. There look to be a few cut out sections. Will continue to improve this capability

N5XJSA HIGH ALLWeather was perfect for this contest. Steady rain with NO lightning made for exceptionally quiet listening all weekend. Mostlly S/P and a few run times , operated /ASSISTED and the band map keep me busy. Only one main antenna so hard to try and run much .. It has been right at a year since the SteppIR DB18E was placed on the tower and it finally got the workout it needed. 73 es thanks for QSOs. Mike N5XJ
N6AAMULTI-MULTIAll stations found by operators. No spotting used. Very bad power line noise on all bands
N6ANSA HIGH ALLConditions were mixed. I could not hear anything on 80. Asia on 20 was lots of fun. Zones 17-28 were worked except for 22. I could not crack VU2PAI despite hearing him both days. Great to have 10 hanging in despite lower solar numbers. Thanks for all the QSOs
N6AR/4SA HIGH ALLGreat conditions, especially 10. Hard to run, mostly hunt and peck
N6LB/7SO LOW 20M4100' from the North Cascades G5RV antenna
