| W2AXR | SO HIGH 10M | 5/9/2012 |

| W4NYS | SO LOW 20M | Date of License: 12/10/2013 |
| W5VOL | SA HIGH ALL | My 2nd Contest. Was a lot of fun, even though the family cut heavily into my time this weekend |
| W6NS | SO HIGH ALL | On for 3 hours due to work obligations, This could be a check log but thought I would send it in to see how far to the bottom of the heap I could get |
| W7MEM | SO HIGH ALL | nice DX |
| W7OLY | SA HIGH ALL | IC-7600, ALS-1300 ,3L SteppIR @ 55', N1MM Logger Plus |

| W9BGX | SO HIGH ALL | My First CQ DX WW SSB Contest from W9BGX |
| W9MS | SO HIGH ALL | Poor conditions generally from this location! |
| W9RE | SO HIGH ALL | Great 10 meters but bad 80 and 160 |
| W9TVX/6 | SA HIGH ALL | Licensed June 2013 |
| WA0EBZ | SO LOW ALL | In my opinion, best band opening this sun spot cycle. Had a fun time |
| WA1FCN/4 | SA LOW 15M | I am not much of a phone op, but think I should have been more serious with this one. I really look forward to CQ WW CW |
| WA4NZD | SO LOW ALL | Good 10 and 15 meter band openings |
| WA5IYX | SO LOW ALL | (2002) FT-847; (1977) 3-el 10-m Wilson Yagi @20' AGL, 3-el 15-m homebrew Yagi @14' AGL - each using Armstrong rotor so just aimed at Eu in local morns and JA in afternoons; 20-m and 40-m fan dip. @15' AGL peak. With the largest sunspot group since 1990 the solar flux was higher than in many recent years for this contest. However, I ended up with fewer Qs than last year* (and NOT because I was distracted by the Sunday trans-Atlantic 50-MHz F2 event as that only affected the eastern US). 10m produced the majority of my Qs, often going well above 29 MHz (where my longest run of over 100 was obtained Sun morn). Having an HZ1 call me a little later at 18z was the largest shock of the contest. Due to short time between 15 and 10m opening in the morns scant 21 MHz activity was done then. 20m staying open all night also reduced my 40m Qs. My 75m ant has been defective for a protracted time. *a late Sat morn start (overslept) didn't help that! (having to cut-n-paste exact freqs from CT-9 note file into log after contest always slow things down) |
| WA6KHK | SA LOW ALL | I finally hear HV0A LC and I was stuck running low power with 2 amps down. I couldn't get any 572B tubes from RF Parts because they won't get any until December...I need a beer |
| WA7LT | SO LOW ALL | Not too bad for an 81 year old! |
| WA7PRC | SO LOW ALL | By FAR, 10m was the big payoff band, followed by 15m and then 20m |
| WA8Y | SA HIGH ALL | MY AMP BROKE DOWN AT 14:33UTC. A SOLAR FLARE BROKE THE BANDS FOR A WHILE SO I SPENT THAT TIME DUSTING OFF AN OLD AMP I'D NEVER USED. I'M GLAD I TRIED IT, THE FL-7000 WORKED AND MY QSO RATE WENT UP. I HAD FUN PLAYING RADIO IN ANOTHER CQ WW CONTEST, I AM HOOKED |
| WB2R | SO QRP ALL | Great Fun |
| WB4EHG | SA LOW ALL | Best I have ever done. The bands were kind to us |
| WB6CZG | SA HIGH ALL | 10 & 15 seem to have been the best bands. However trying to work Europe I encountered the East Coast wall. Rig was TS2000, amp was AL80B, Ant was 80 meter dipole (at 70 ft) with a AT2K tuner fed with 450 ohm ladder line |
| WC2L | SA HIGH ALL | Great contest, just very limited time to operate! |
| WE6EZ/5 | SO LOW ALL | Outstanding band conditions, especially on 10. I only wished stations would identify themselves more often. When working S&P its irritating and time consuming to hear stations calling QRZ 10 times before identifying themselves. It was fun nevertheless |
| WF0T | SO QRP 15M | City lot + vertical = no one can hear me. Still a lot of fun! |
| WN7T | SO HIGH ALL | It was a very casual hunt and peck effort. Great band conditions! |
| WT6H | SA HIGH ALL | 10 meters was hot!! |
| WW7D | SO LOW ALL | Plenty of fun, even though I couldn't devote full time to it. A wind storm on Saturday evening knocked power out for 26 hours, putting an end to contesting for the weekend |
