N2DEM | MSH | Indy 500, World 600 & nice weather leave a few minutes here and there for this contest |
N3UM | SO HP ALL | Only a few hours to operate this year due to family visit, but had lots of fun anyway. |
N4BP | SO HP 10M | At the end of the first day, I'd already broken my record set last year and expected to shatter it Sunday. I'd forgotten what a drag the second day can be! Great EU opening Saturday and apparently I worked everyone there was to work |
N4IG | SO LP ALL | Been having a lot of "line" noise lately. It rained on Friday afternoon and the bands were quiet until Sunday aftenoon when the noise started to build back up. The contest Gods were smiling down on Polk City. |
N4OT | SO QRP 15M | What a great contest for QRP - my 1st QRP effort. Lots of strong signals with good ears, small pileups and not too crowded. Even worked a new one (TZ6DX) with my 5W! |
N4TZ/9 | SO LP ALL | After my flush with success last year from shattering the USA 15M LP record with over 1 megapoint in 30 hours, I decided to try LP all band. What a humbling experience! This score will be lucky to make the bottom of the LP top ten. It really hurt to hear the W4's and W5's running Russians on 10M Sunday afternoon that I couldn't hear. Guess that's why it's called a "black hole" |
N4UH | SO LP ALL | The one point for in-country QSOs really makes the contest very interesting |
N8LM/4 | SO LP ALL | Good propagation especially on 15/20 and amazing amount of activity |
N9CIQ | SO QRP ALL | Conditions pretty good Friday night and Saturday but lousy on Sunday. |
ND6E | SO LP ALL | The weather was too beautiful in Santa Cruz this weekend to stay in front of the radio |
NE0P | SO LP ALL | My first contest using computer logging. What a great system. I did not miss using dupe sheets one bit |
NJ8J/4 | SO HP ALL | Just jumped in at the end to pick up a few countries |
NM5O | MSH | This time of year in TX,you gotta love the thunderstorms. We lost 5 hours with the storms and no power for 3 hrs. The tornado 2 miles away added some thrills too! |
NO5W | SO LP ALL | Next year outside antennas and coverage of 40 & 80 meters! |
NR1DX | SO HP ALL | My highest QSO count in a contest. EVER. |
NR4M | MM | Had Harry, RA3AUU, as a last minute guest. Before he left, we had him eating grits and saying "Ya'll" |
NT1N | SO HP ALL | What great activity from S5! This is a great contest for a small station. |
NV4X | SO HP 10M | Had to QRT at 0301 the first night and take XYL to hospital emergency..she's fine now! See you next year |
OH6NIO | SA HP ALL | Very bad start as I woke up at 04Z and realized that my alarm clock did not work. I lost the only good opening on 20m. |
OH9A | MSH | Warming up for WRTC2000! |
OH9W | SO HP 20M | What a contest! Closest battle ever with OH8L! Thanks to my wife Merja, for letting me contest for another weekend |
OK1MGW | SO QRP 10M | Wonderful condx for QRP on 10 meters! |
OK2SWD | SO LP ALL | Very good contest and perfect CQ operators. What a pity condx were not quite good. |
OK5W | SO HP 20M | Thanks to OK1KSW/OK5W group for letting me use their fine station. Thanks for a nice contest! |
OM2I | MSH | It was the best contest we have taken part in |
ON5VL | MSH | First participation to this very nice contest. We will be there next year. |
OT0A | SO LP ALL | No 10m ant but good condx on 15m |
OZ8AE | SO LP ALL | Saturday turned out to be a day with very good condx. Sunday with less condx, but then openings for EU on higher bands. |
PA1MRK | SO LP 15M | My 1st CW contest |
PY2NDX | SO HP 40M | Traveling to operate from PY2NY nice 40m station was very good while Vitor gone to ZX5J effort. First time like high power, lot of QSO's and so much fun. Thanks PU2VYT (PY2NY YL) for host and sharing your time to help me. |
S57U | SO LP 80M | First time single band on 80m. Have a lot of time for kids! |
S59A | SO HP ALL | Strategy was wrong this time! Too much time spent on 40 and 10 meters. Could not make much better with my small 2 x 3-500Z linear amplifier. |
S5A | SO HP 15M | Sleeping all over the night and equipment failure did help to increase the score |
S5C | MSH | Nice contest. The conditions was not the best, a lot of problems forced us to use only one station, so we just operated full time one after another op. I think also there was not enough activity. |
SI3SSA | SO HP 15M | Well, the conditions didn't feel that good, but I hope the score can take this years Rookie title anyway, but single band this time. |
SM3AVW | SO LP ALL | This was my first CQ WPX contest! It was a nice experience, and a nice contest. |
SP5GH | SO HP 80M | Worked HS0AC as a new one on 80. |
SV/OK1YM | SO HP 40M | Very low activity especially from USA and a lot of noise! |
TE1W | SO QRP 40M | My usual score in this contest is 15 - 30K. I guess the call and the 2 ele. Yagi up 100 feet at TI5KD's QTH helped! |
TI5N | SO QRP ALL | Thanks to Keko, TI5KD for the use of his station |
VA3UZ | SO HP ALL | Thanks to Dave, VE3OI for the use of his great station |
VE2ZP | SO HP ALL | This as great contest. Conditions were generallyquite good, there was plenty of activity. My biggest thrill was to be called by S21CW! |
VE3BMV | SO HP 15M | Weird propagation, lack of US stations, had fun on high band for change |
VE3STT | SO LP 10M | Unfortunately I never have enough time to compete this weekend! So, for a change of pace I decided to spend what time I have on 10 meters. LP on 10, and no chance to operate during any expected EU opening means scanning a virtually dead band most of the time. Should have been a dentist, because this is like pulling teeth!! |
VE6ZT | SO LP ALL | As much as I geared up for this test, my yardwork took priority. |
VE7SV | SO LP 10M | 10 meters definitely was NOT the place to be for this contest and this is the sunspot peak |
VK6HG | SO LP 10M | Worked 3V8 for a new one! |
W3BBO | SO QRP ALL | Thanks to all the fine ops who copied my 5 watts! |
W3CP | SO LP 40M | About the same number of hours and exactly the same equipment as last year, but a somewhat smaller score. Perhaps the QRN was higher or the operator is wearing out. |
W4TDB | SO LP ALL | Rotor and beam took static discharge and was stuck to Northeast. Still a lot of fun. My first contest as an extra |
