N8BZNSO LOW ALLMy first CQ WW DX. WOW! I had a blast. Can't wait until next year
N8CWXSO LOW ALLFirst license 11-2019 ROOKIE 11/08/19
N8DESO HIGH ALLFantastic conditions, especially on 10 meters. Perhaps cycle 25 has really begun!
N8IISO LOW 10MCycle 25 is alive, best 10M condx to EU when K index was 5! Scandinavia was loud at that time, possible auroral Es. Very loud signals from western EU 1335-1630Z, some good runs. SE EU was poor, missed LZ,YO,UR,UA
N8IVNSA HIGH ALLThis was a part-time operation for me. Saturday afternoon I worked with Team WX3B. It was a pleasure to be able to get a run going on 10m! After my operating time at Jim's I headed home for a couple more hours of fun. 73 Dennis N8IVN
N8JOESO LOW ALLFirst license 01-2020
N8PPFSO LOW ALLNice finally having 10 and 15 meters open. Most of my contacts were on those bands
N8SBESO HIGH ALLWOW! The bands were HOT this year. SF over 100 the whole time, and the big CME didn't occur, leaving the bands intact. 10M and 15M were alive like they haven't been in years! Thanks, everyone, for the Q's, and hope to see you again next year
N8VWSO LOW 40MK3/100watts and zs6bkw style dipole at 45'. Tough conditions and some issues, but glad to operate in the best radio contest. Looking forward to the cw event

NE1RDSO HIGH ALLIt has been a while since I’ve put in a serious effort contesting. It was fun to be back in the seat, but it was obvious that my hearing had degraded in those intervening years. Thankfully, my new Heil Parametric Receive Audio System (PRAS) isolated the voices in the muddle and reduced the fatigue. It helped me stay in the seat. Though I have a very small station (dipoles and a 1/4-wave vertical for 80), I have made some small improvements to help with contesting (and DXing). The SOTABEAMS ContestConsole for ICOM gives easy access to the voice (or CW) keyed memories. I’ve always tried to use the voice keyer but this little box made it super easy. I’ve lost some feeling in my feet and the foot peddle, loose under my desk, kept disappearing on me. A piece of velcro now has it anchored to the carpet. My trusty IC-7600, now eleven years old, is showing its age. I didn’t realize how useless the spectrum scope on that radio was until I added an SDR Play RSP2 and spectrum application to my shack computer. Now I can see band activity at a glance. The antenna driving this is an inexpensive MLA30 receive loop just outside the shack and well away from the transmitting antennas. It works remarkably well. I’ve also added an MFJ receive loop MFJ-1886TR to give myself diversity receive capabilities. The loop has a null down the middle and it helps eliminating some unwanted signals in those directions. Just having a second antenna to hear has been helpful. SkookumLogger has been a big update for my Macintosh-based shack. Not quite N1MM, but very usable. It is a very capable, stable, and easy logging system for contesting. Recommended
NF1LSO HIGH ALLWhat a blast
NF7ESO LOW 15MFirst time 100 multipliers on one band - Whoohoo
NG1MSO HIGH ALLFirst contest from my QTH at HIGH POWER!
NI0KSA HIGH ALLThe bands were smokin' Friday night and Saturday all day! Yee haw that was fun. I haven't seen that many JAs on 15 since the last sunspot cycle
NI6PSO LOW ALLFirst license 12-2019
NJ3IMULTI-TWO1st Contest with new tribander (Skyhawk) and high power tri-plexer and high power band pass filters. Worked 15 and 10 on the same antenna with no interference
NK5GSO LOW 15MSo nice to see 15m opening up!
NL7VSO HIGH ALLGood band conditions on Saturday
NL8FSO HIGH 40MGood contest sunday was a bit poor propagation in the northern latatudes but still great night time fun and first test for my new K4 and low band antenna ( OCFD ) 300ft
NM2OSO HIGH ALLOPERATED REMOTE FOR A SHORT TIME ON THE AIR
NN4DXSO LOW ALLWow! Finally the sun cooperated. What a great contest
NO9ESA HIGH ALLPretty good participation and good conditions on 15 and 10m. Jk Mid Tri 40 at 100ft and JK Mid Tri at 60fft, all ona 100ft tower. A Spiderbeam at 42 ft as a multiplier antenna. 4sq on 80m and the tower loaded fro 160m. Flex 6600 and Expert amp 1.3k-fa. Pileups to rarer multipliers were intense and my phased beams did not seem to matter as stations with simple tribanders were doing better. Also I could not maintain a run frequency except on 10m. I am wondering whether the audio Flex 6600 is really punchy. One clue is that while the amp becomes really hot when running with speech processing from K3, it is barely warm with speech processing from 6600
NP2JSO HIGH 160MConditions decent, QRN S9 plus... Tnx for braving QRN to all! Looking forward to CW weekend! Might even get on 10 contest this year as band looks hot! 73 Dan

NX9TSO HIGH ALLLess than 2 hours of S/P on 20/40....only low wires at new QTH thus far. Did get the 240 line run to the shack for the amp...without it, things would not have been pretty. 73- Jeff NX9T
