| UX5TQ | SO LP ALL | Tnx for contest! |
| UX7QD | SO LP 20M | trx 100W HM ant a sloper IBM386DX40 N6TR |
| VA3RNJ | SO LP 20M | This is my first CW contest. Made very few QSO and have a slow fist but everyone seemed understanding. Thanks all a great experience. |
| VA3WR | SA LP ALL | FIRST TIME ENTERING WPX CW CONTEST, with lots of other distractions this past week didn't help the cause. Will be back next year |
| VC6X | SO LP ALL | Was to operate SO 20M at VE6JY as VC6X but he had amp problems so operated from own residence - limited time. |
| VE1AYY | SO LP 20M | Keeping downwind of big guns. |
| VE3RCN | SO LP ALL | Better than last year. |
| VE3UTT | SA HP ALL | ANTs: OB-17-4 & 80m dipole / RIG: K3 |
| VE5AE | SO QRP 20M | My first CW contest. The speed, I can't believe it. |
| VE7BGP | SO LP ALL | I had a lot of fun in this Contest. It is the first time I'm entering this Contest. I was part of the VE7NA Club station's participation in this contest in March. I went in this contest Casually with my 25 year old FT-757GX and using my '54 Blue Racer Standard Bug I repainted the Base on. That old FT-757 is a lot of fun and that rig has great you are Part of the Pile-up QSK Break in and Shift & Width is a great QRM fighting feature. |
| VE7JKZ | SO HP ALL | Surprisingy good conditions for a cycle minimum Used SD - works very well |
| VK2CCC | SO QRP 40M | Extremely bad WX on the second day prevented using vert Ant over salt water. Day 1 - 53 QSOs with vertical, Day 2 - 8 QSOs with a dipole. Quite a difference. |
| VK2GR/8 | SO LP ALL | Portable operation from Nhulunbuy, Gove, East Arnhem in the Northern Territory, VK8, (GL: PH87JT). A difficult operation with excessive noise levels of S8+ on the low bands, with low power and a low antenna. Station setup: Yaesu FT-897 with a Carolina Windom 40LP antenna at 6 metres. A bit of fun and it was great to put another VK8 signal onto HF! |
| VK3FM | SA LP ALL | If only some operators would learn to send GOOD code - and not just FAST code. |
| VK3IO | SO HP ALL | Fantastic conditions, especially on 40. Had a lot of fun. Thanks for all the qso's. |
| VK3TDX | SO HP ALL | Who needs sunspots? Very hard for VK to break into EU on 40 thru QRM |
| VK4EJ | SO LP 20M | No Records Broken Here On Low Power But The WPX Is A Can't Miss Contest Always Full Of Surprises |
| VK4TT | SO LP ALL | Bands not very kind to me |
| VK7GN | SO HP ALL | Only a few hours available to get on. Conditions very weird! Did feel like i WAS A LONG WAY FROM THE ACTION hI! |
| VU2HFR | SA LP ALL | My first WPX CW. Great fun. HF propagation very poor. 10M did not open. Thanks again to EI5DI for SD a great logger. Thanks CQ for a great contest. |
| VU2PTT | SO LP ALL | Op time: 18 hours Rig1: IC-746pro + Force 12 C3-S beam @ 60 feet + 40 m Inverted-Vee Rig2: IC-735 + Force 12 Sigma-5 Vertical Dipole A very heavy work schedule for several days ensured I was bone-tired before the start of the contest. I had also recently acquired a used IC-735 and decided I would get into a casual operation and try SO2R for the first time. No fancy rig/antenna switching systems just a Sigma-5 Vertical Dipole tied to the 735. Made a few second radio QSOs and now that I have tasted it must have full fledged SO2R soon. Thanks for all the QSOs and hope to work many more next time and congratulations to Randy for a very fine CQWPX.COM website. |
| VU2UR | SO QRP 15M | ENJOYED ANOTHER WPX CONTEST. CONDITIONS WERE QUITE ERRATIC. |
| W0RAA | SO LP ALL | Whoever said CW is dead, was sure wrong. It's alive and well. It was great hearing the bands open all over the planet. I was elated to make a few Q's on 10 meters. Almost unheard of thses days. I didn't work any 80 meters and spent a limited time on 40. Probably would spend more time if I had better antennas on those bands. A vertical is OK, but it sure doesn't do the job my 5 element TH5DX does. Thanks to all who gave me a contact and for a few "new ones". A fun weekend with a limited participation due to granddaughter's high school graduation party. See y'all in the next one. |
| W0UA | SO HP 20M | JUST TOO MUCH FUN! THANKS ALL FOR THE QSO'S |
| W4OJC | SO HP ALL | Bands were not wonderful. No Asia heard in GA. Enloyed the contacts with excellent ops...despite having major back problems. It was good therapy! |
| W4RYW | SO LP ALL | Great Conditions on 20M - lot of fun! |

| W6XI/7 | SO HP 40M | Sure isnt easy trying to hear the Euros through all that midwest electrical noise. |
| W7DRA | SO HP 160M | Wish for more activity. |
| W7IJ | SO HP 40M | I used SD with the Winkeyer USB. A really great combo. No openings to EU, but Asia came thru. Great contest |
| W7SW | SO HP ALL | Wonderful CW fun! Mni tnx! 73 de Scotty W7SW. |
| W7VJ | MSH | Now we know what it must be like to run EU from the east coast... incredible conditions on 20. |

| W8GXT | SO HP ALL | My first WPX ! I had hoped to operate the whole 36hrs. but my family had other plans ? HiHi !! I'm looking forward for next one !!! |
| W8KNO | SO LP 10M | First Cw contest and entered 10 meter only because there would be less activity on 10 and I could follow the procedures better. Thanks to all the stations that could copy my fist and at my slow speed. |
| W8QZA/0 | SO QRP 80M | Tks to Phil, N0KE, for letting me use his station during his off time for this single band 80 M QRP entry! |
| WA1FCN/4 | SO LP 20M | Wow so many ua9/ua0 ...Nice propagation over the poles. Still I long for these conditions on 10/15 ....Glad I'm young enough (61) to see this cycle peak. 73 BoB WA1FCN |
| WA2ASQ/4 | SO LP 20M | Operated portable while traveling on business in Atlanta. Amazed at what I worked with a portable antenna set on a tripod! |
| WA5RML | SO QRP ALL | K2 at 5 wts; MA5V on 15M & 20M; G5RV on 40M; Discouraging weekend. Propagation seemed "flat" at my QTH; Still always enjoy a good contest. Thanks to all who copied my QRP signal! |
| WA5SOG | SO HP 20M | Lots of fun as usual. NOTE: I included one 40 Mtr QSO for check purposes only |
