| LY5E | SO HIGH 10M | UFB condx on 10, but had only few hours for contesting this time |
| LY7A | MULTI-MULTI | All equipment - Home made (exept old computers running CT). Murphy visited us very heavily during our jubillee - 25th consecutive CQ WW DX SSB as Multi-Multi. We lost electricity 8,5 hours before end of the Contest during our best rates of the day |
| LZ2HT | SO LOW 20M | QTH Locator KN23AC |
| LZ2JA | SO LOW 10M | RIG: FT-100D 100W ANT: OB16-3 |

| M0BUY | SO LOW ALL | Condx not great, but very enjoyable contest anyway. Used SD by EI5DI for first time in contest - very easy to use and very efficient - great program |
| M0GVZ | SA LOW ALL | Unfortunately 80MPH winds brought an early end to the contest for myself and many others in the UK |
| M0MCV | SO LOW ALL | Another year where the contest clashed with my daughter's birthday so missed a big chunk of Sunday night |
| M0RBE | SO HIGH ALL | TS-990 1322ft Doublet and 20m Dipole Time lost waiting for QRZ merchants to give their call sign! Otherwise a good contest |
| M1DST | SA LOW ALL | Didn't do much operating and closed down very early to take antennas down as the UK is facing a terrible storm |
| M3W | SO HIGH ALL | Forecast very high winds led to a change of plan to 24 hours operating only |
| M4A | MULTI-TWO | Great contest, great conditions. A pity our antennas weren't at full height due to strong winds. Thanks all! |
| M4D | SA LOW 40M | Very good bands conditions and some great DX worked but more to be had! This category is very difficult as it is virtually impossible to run a frequency for more than a few minutes before you get 'stomped on'.Really enjoyed the contest in spite of that. Tnx for all QSOs |
| M4U | MULTI-ONE | Very good conditions on HF |
| M5MUF | SO LOW 20M | 1st ever HF contest entry - enjoyed it but could do with directional antenna and more dynamic range on RX! |
| M6ADB | SO LOW ALL | Calling /mobile in a contest seemed to confuse some operators! |
| M6NLB | SA LOW ALL | First Licensed 23 March 2013 |
| M7X | SA HIGH 10M | FTDX5000, 5 ele Yagi @43ft, dipole @48ft on sub-Rx |
| M9T | SA LOW ALL | Just a few hours as time permitted, abruptly cut short by rig TX failure :-( |
| MI0VAX | SO LOW ALL | Some deliberately very wide signals |
| MI6LLG | SO QRP 10M | rookie 29/08/2013 |
| MM3NRX | SO LOW ALL | Icom IC-736 10w Cushcraft MA5B 144m ASL Good Luck All 73 |

| MZ8A | SO HIGH 10M | Hello from the SHETLAND ISLANDS - GM/s ....... MONOBAND GROUNDPLANE only ! POST-CONTEST logging with SD (www.EI5DI.com) All contacts with TWO OR MORE DUPES completely erased ! |
| N0SMX | SA HIGH 15M | Awsome conditions !! |
| N0UY | SO HIGH ALL | Great 10m opening |
| N0WRK | SO HIGH 15M | COULDN'T COMPETE AS MUCH AS I WANTED DUE TO OTHER COMMITTMENTS. MADE MANY NEW DX CONTACTS. THANKS CQ FOR A GREAT CONTEST. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR |

| N1HOQ | SA HIGH ALL | Nice condx. S & P only, lots of fun! |
| N1MM | MULTI-ONE | @ W1TJL. Fantastic condiitions! |
| N1OJW | SO LOW 10M | Contacts between stations on different continents 3 points each x 23 = 69 QSO points Contacts between stations on the NA continent beteween different countries 2 point each x 3 = 6 QSO points Total QSO points = 75 Multiplier of 1 for each different CQ Zone contacted on each band = 9 Multiplier of 1 for each different country contacted on each band = 18 Final score = 75 x (9 + 18) = 2025 |
| N1RLR | SA LOW 10M | With 10 Meters widw open all weekend, I had to stay there |
| N1UR | SO LOW ALL | See 3830 Comments. Power Output 100W |
| N2FF | SA LOW ALL | WOW!! What an amazing contest. I shared the station with my granddaughter so it was NOT a full time effort. I had a great time packet pouncing on spots. I really enjoyed those loud stations on 10 meters and the BY stations on 20 at the end of the contest. BY0AA was over S9 on 20 meters at the end of the contest and had such a BIG pile on him that I was amazed when he came back to my call. I really did not think he would hear my 100 watts. That was a very BIG thrill. Yes, I can still get thrilled after 52 years. BTW: My granddaughter worked BY also. She is still working toward DXCC. This contest may yield the 5 more that she needs. This effort effort was entirely S & P. I forgot to reserve a place to run and the FCC was sold out once the contest began |
| N2SLO | SO LOW 10M | Amazing conditions |
| N3CAV | SO LOW 10M | Awesome conditions on 10m |
| N3IQ | SA HIGH ALL | Had fun in part time effort. Conditions awesome overall |
| N3QC | MULTI-TWO | This year our club made a more serious effort due to our success last year. Everyone was "charged up" and raring to go! Thanks too those who didn't operate but helped set up, watched and learned, and brought food! |
| N3TD | SA LOW ALL | I have not seen 10 meters like this in years what a lot of fun. Even with my 6 meters (20ft) and 9 meters (30ft) high antennas I had a great time! |
| N3TR | SO HIGH ALL | 425 Multis 80-10m. Butt is sore |
| N3UM | SO HIGH ALL | My 12th time doing CQ WW SSB: 2001-2013 inclusive except 2007. My claimed 2013 score of 994 K is my best ever, well above my previous best of 951.7 K in 2002 and next-best 870.6 K in 2003, back when sunspots were plentiful. I got much lower scores in the sunspot drought years 2005-2009, 482 to 598 K, with only tens of QSOs on 10 m. My equipment was essentially comparable in 2002 and 2013, and the operator and approximate level of effort were the same. The primary reason for the personal-best this year was simple: propagation conditions were extraordinary, phenomenal, on both low and high bands, SFI of 165 and K of 0 or 1, occasionally 2. As often happens, the outstanding conditions led to a consistent high level of activity. A secondary reason for my better score in 2013 vs 2002: I got in a good run Sun. on 15 m.: 124 QSOs in 61 min., 1145-1246 Z. A third reason: my 80 m. antenna was better this year, so I could take good advantage of the excellent low-band conditions. On 15 and 20 m. I worked noticeably more than my usual number of distant and semi-rare multipliers: HZ, YB (on 15 and 20), BY, A7, 9K, KH2, KH0, E5 (South Cook Islands), and DU. I also found some relatively rare mults at more average DX distances, reflecting the high activity level: JW, UN, C3, OX (on 20 and 40), VP2M (on 80), EX, SV5, Z6 (Kosovo), and ZP. I hope we're now seeing the much-discussed "second peak" in SFI and that it will last thru this contest season instead of last weekend being just a fluke. In either case, some say that we may see an SFI drought next season and for the rest of the lives of us retirees, so be sure to enjoy every contest this year which has comparable conditions |

| N4DTF | SO LOW ALL | Great to see 10m come to life and have so much activity |
| N4GG | SA HIGH ALL | Just a little S&P. Nice to hear the bands wide open |
| N4IJ/5 | SA LOW 40M | Tough Going from OK through the east coast on 40m. Wish I had a beam, but my groundplane at 50 ft is nice too |
| N4NTO | SO LOW 10M | Enjoyed the brief time I got to play! 10 seemed to be in FB shape! |
| N4PEG | SO LOW ALL | Great Fun |
