| VE3DC | MULTI-TWO | What a great contest again this year, we more than doubled our score from last year and had a lot of fun with the better band conditions especially on 10m. Running M2 was a lot of fun but made us decide whether to run 10, 15 or 20 at the same time, what a tough decision eh! Most of the operators only gave a part time effort but did very well operating when they could. Great contest, lots of fun working all that DX, thanks to all the operators for being there and the ones that worked us, hope to see you in the next one. 73 Rick VE3BK |
| VE3EDY | SO LOW 160M | *****____ Used my TS-940 and self designed Mobile Screw Driver Antenna , which again this year performed wonderfully under the poor band and WX conditions.Hoping to place 1st again for the 4th year in a row in the CQWW 2011 Contest.___****** |
| VE3FDT | SO LOW ALL | 6 years ago, when I came back to this great hobby after 25+ years of a "hiatus", I resolved to keep learning and improving. Every CQWW contest since has been my "personal best"; this year is no different. (Well, CQWW CW is still to come...) And despite the very high cost in time and effort of making "rare" multipliers with my lowly set-up. However, I see a serious (unsurmountable?) problem ahead: will the trend continue when the solar cycle is past its peak? Hopefully, by that time I will have some decent antennas in place and will not be startled by compliments like AD1C's and K9ZVZ's of being 59+ when I was running on 10 meters: the problem being that my hexbeam was pointing to Europe at the time |
| VE3FTM | SO HIGH ALL | So many stations, so little time !! |
| VE3GTC | SO QRP 10M | QRP maximum power used 5 watts Another Great CQ WW contest. I usually don't work SSB contests but conditions where so good on 10 meters that I just jumped in late on Saturday morning and worked 10 on and off for the rest of the day and again on Sunday. QRP was working well, the BIG signal stations where relatively easy with few repeats but still much patience to wait out the bigger pile-ups. The not so BIG signal stations required many repeats and even more patience to wait out the pile ups and occasional QSB |
| VE3IQ | SA HIGH 10M | It was great to see wall-to-wall QRM on 10m |
| VE3KKB | SO HIGH 10M | Having 200+ an hour runs into EU, great....Having T6RH call me during one of the runs: PRICELESS. Tnx, Rob |
| VE3LC | SO LOW ALL | 10 metres was like picking fruit off a tree. Great Condx |
| VE3OM | SO LOW ALL | Actual Power Used - 75 Watts |
| VE3OTL | SA LOW ALL | Icom 756Pro2 100w, windom dipole @ 70 feet. Great band conditions, reminds me of band conditions in early 80's |
| VE3OX | SO HIGH ALL | First time I used my afterburners (1KW) in a contest, nice. VE3OX |
| VE4KZ | SO HIGH 20M | Thanks to CQ, organizers, participants, and Ol' Sol for a great weekend! |
| VE5CPU | SO HIGH ALL | A couple of hours to chase some DX and make a few calls |
| VE6LB | SA HIGH ALL | Good conditions (for a nice change!) |
| VE6WZ | SA HIGH 40M | A casual effort which began with no intention to submit a score, but after the first night, because 80 and 160 were so poor, I decided to play on 40m only. About 13 hrs total air time. 40m was not great with rather poor EU long path signals at my morning, and fewer Asia than I would expect. I did have fun, and thank everyone who called me. Ftdx-9000d, Acom 2000a, HB 2el Yagi @100' |
| VE6ZC | SO LOW ALL | Best 10 metre showing ever and a personal best score. Maybe Cycle 24 will show us great condx after all! |
| VE7ABC | SA LOW ALL | 10 Meters in a word "WOW" |
| VE7BGP | SO LOW ALL | I had a lot of fun participating in this Contest 10 was open to many DX Countries for many hours of this Contest. I used a couple oldie Classic radios FT-757GX & the Venerable old IC-751A both still great radios that were introduced in the '80's. 100 Watts can be sometimes a Challenge as you can hear em but not workem |
| VE7IO | MULTI-MULTI | VE7FO's newbies Spook The Bands VE7IO and VE7FO have undertaken an HF Operator training program for our club. We had 10 newbies signed up for this but only 8 could make it. Each op received a thorough briefing on the S&P and Run protocols while listening to stations running. After a couple of demo Qs by the mentor they dove in. Some even gained enough confidence after a while to start running. Altogether they worked 73 distinct countries in all Continents. Now I have to explain to them that 10m isn't always as good as this. Jim VE7FO |
| VE7RSV | SO LOW ALL | Great conditions for me, managed to work some new countries and was also my first experience operating on 10 meters with the band being open. Highlights for me was working Mongolia and Israel, with 100W and a g5rv up in the trees; all I can say is wow! |
| VE7TVH | SA LOW ALL | First contest, many lessons learned. Many Japanese and Russian QSLs, thanks guys! And special thanks to everyone who made the event happen. Tom Hlavac VE7TVH |
