NK4KSA HIGH ALLNOT CONTESTING FOR RECORD KEEPING ONLY!
NK5GSA QRP 10MSmall amount of operating is better than no operating
NK7ZSA HIGH ALLNice contest, good condx, and lots of fun... THANK YOU!
NL7VSA HIGH ALLGood Time
NN4XSA HIGH ALLAll S&P, making points for the club. There was some really interesting prop Saturday evening around 9 and a few others really well - easily S5 - and I called them for a long time, but was never able to raise them. I was essentially knocked off of 160M and 75M due to a hellacious power line noise issue
NN6DXSO HIGH ALLHappily surprised that condx were so good after several weeks of doldrums
NN7SSSA QRP 80MI traveled on Friday and got to the shack right at the bell. Spent another half-hour getting setup. Not that it was urgent, 75m Phone had only local ragchewers and nets for the first several hours. With limited time and interest, I chose the category that the CQ WW SSB Records page shows the USA had "no entry" so far My entry would have a chance at the USA Record! Finally by 04z each night I could work a few Canadians, Thanks! Midnight and sunrise allowed me to work Hawaii, Alaska and Japan. And well, that's all I could work 80m QRP SSB. I could hear plenty of DX, but unless they were S9 and no pileup I couldn't get through. That's quite normal for QRP SSB NN7SS (op K6UFO) 80m Kenwood TS-590s at 5 watts SDR-IQ receiver and Spectravue software panadapter
NO2D/0SO LOW ALLFor me, an unusual foray into the world of SSB. It will take much more practice for my ears to be able to decipher call signs amid all the QRM. A good antenna would also help. Here are the results of my modest effort, rife, I am sure, with errors. NO2D
NO9E/4SA HIGH ALLOperated the the first day as multi K4TCG. After coming back, operated from home to see the difference
NP3RESO LOW 10MSOSB/10 LP
NS7ISO LOW ALLFirst licensed 4/24/2015

NZ3OSA HIGH ALLContests are great for identifying station improvements
NZ6QSO LOW ALLTHANK YOU TO ALL
OA4SSSO HIGH ALLHad to work both mornings but still, 3052 contacts made for a lot of fun!
OA6QSO LOW ALLmuch better condx than expected to all continents - super contest!
OE1CIWSO LOW ALLVery good propagation also on 10m, nice propagation also on the other bands. I already started with a husky voice due a bad cold but at the end i could not talk anything, hi ... Working conditions are a K3 with 100 watts and a wire antenna under the roof of a multi-story appartement house. Excellent receiver performance of the K3 on all bands especially with overcrowded bands. Most significant insight ... some guys have to learn that it is much more important to listen than to call ... I am crazy about the upcoming CQ WW CW - looking forward to meet all of you in the contest !!! 73 Michael, OE1CIW
OE1HHBSO LOW ALLenjoyed the contest with verticals on my 6th floor balcony
