| N7WY | SO HIGH ALL | Lots of QRN until mid-day Saturday |
| N8GLS | SO LOW ALL | Another great contest!! Actvity was high even without any 10m propagation. Only complaint is run stations need to ID more often, not EVERYBODY is in the assisted category and lots of time is wasted waiting to see if we worked you already!! |

| N8YXR | MULTI-ONE LOW | Go MRRC!!!!! |
| N9BT | SO LOW ALL | Weather was very bad Saturday afternoon and evening. Very heavy rain and high winds |
| N9NB | SO HIGH ALL | Thanks to Joe K2XX for loaning me two amplifiers (Alpha 9500 and SPE 1.3K) for my first go at single op high power from N9NB. My shack design simply wasnt ready for the RF levels and the proxmity of my house/station to the towers. Without ferrites and a seasoned approach w/ months of testing to peroperly installl a high power station, it was probably silly to think I could do it and manage to use SO2R, but it was fun to try. I simnply couldnt do SO2R since the RF levels came onto the headphones and created SSB audio in the headphones that I couldnt figure out how to get rid of. A fuse blew on the ALPHA with 21.5 hours into the contest, and I didnt have spares, or the energy to investigate (as I had been in Los Angeles all week and just got in the day before and made the 3 hour drive to the stn), so I 'called it a day' on a serious effort, and could not enter the classic category since I had used SO2R. Thanks to Marv N5AW for point this out. I was amazed to see W3PP was 250 Qs ahead of me when my amp went out, and that would have been a hard lead to catch up to - congrats to W3PP/AA1K for a great effort. Had I been thinking, I could have used NB4N LP the rest of the way (thanks N4TZ). Worked couple hours on Sun.afternoon on LP getting stn. ready for CW. I think I am going to stay with low power over time, life is simpler that way, and the magic is there. Sure is nice, though, to have a big signal when trying to QSO on the low bands with the loud eastern europeans. That was a new dimension, and quite remarkable and enjoyable. A big thanks to Joe K2XX and the team at DX Engineering that sent HP BPF's for the various bands, just in time for the contest. Thanks to CQ and the organizers, and to everyone for the QSOs. 73 ted n9nb |
| N9OK | SA HIGH ALL | Can only operate phone for limited times. I feel somewhat deaf now. This was a fun contest. Low noise levels in this area. Sunspots not great but still made some good contacts |
| N9TNT | SO LOW ALL | FIRST LICENSED ON 12/05/2017 |
| ND9G | SA HIGH 20M | Very rough going from the Black Hole. So many stations couldn't hear me |
| NE1B | SA HIGH ALL | Poor conditions Friday night. Much better on Saturday and Sunday. Achieved my goals of 500 Qs and 500K score |
| NE6I | SA LOW 10M | Surprised that 10m opened up at all! |
| NG2J | SO LOW ALL | Just a casual op but wanted to send log so that contacts are not penalized |
| NJ3I | MULTI-TWO | Operating from NJ3I. Friday and Saturday only. Portable mast with tri band hex beam at 30ft, Delta loops for 20 and 40, Phased Delta Loops for 80 (NE, SW, N/S), Inverted L for 160. Terrible conditions on Friday and Saturday |
| NL7D | SO LOW ALL | hard to work with 100w and a 16ft flagpole for a antenna |
| NM9P | SA LOW ALL | Low effort due to only one antenna - a homebrew 20 meter vertical screwed to my back deck railing. Obnly one radial under it. I just retired and moved to a new location and this is all the antenna I have at the moment with my Flex-6000 Series radio |
| NN2T | SA HIGH ALL | Thank you for the contest! |
| NN5T | SO LOW ALL | CONDIX was tough, can't wait for Cycle 25 very soon |
| NO9E | SA HIGH ALL | First operation from my new 27 acre woodland site some 50km from my regular QTH. Antennas EFHW8010 endfed abt 15 m up, home made Spiderbeam for 20m about 10m up (no rotor), 2 x bidirectional Beverages Radio Flex 6600 with Expert 1.3k amplifier. Lots of trouble setting up the beam, with some injury when the mast fell. Lots of trouble with first-time contest setup for Flex with N1MM. After many tries and turning off the sleep mode in the PC, the setup worked very well. My receive was a whole better than at home. Especially the beverages were super quiet and provided excellent selectivity even on 15m. However, my transmit signal was a whole lot weaker than at home. The conditions were not too bad, with 15 and 10m open but my transmit on 40m sucked, perhaps because of metal roof resonating |
