| KB0EPY | SO LP 40M | First time contesting WAS A BLAST! Drawback. People not following proper FCC guidelines FYI walking all over people. Jamming etc. |
| KB1PWF/7 | SO LP ALL | Great first CQ WPX SSB contest! General license in June 2008. Operated intermittently between the kid's soccer and baseball games. Will be ready to operate longer next year!! |
| KB9YGD | SO LP ALL | tu fb wpx agn this yr es 73 de kb9ygd |
| KC0DEB | SA LP ALL | What a ride this has been ! Conditions kept suprising me, everytime I expected a band to close someone would pop up. It didn't all go without troubles, the Yagi had some SWR issues that I could not get resolved in time. But the autotuner kept that in check. Somewhere down the line my log skipped a log number, which threw me off. I caught that quick, but not fast enough.. Lost some contacts because of it, sorry if it happens to be you. Also missed a band switch, and lost 2 contacts there as a dupe. I'll write that off as part of the "Contest & Learn " process.... The logging problems will cost me dearly, but all the blame is on me.. I would like to commend all the excellent operators out there who showed great patience while trying to pull my less than 100W signal out of the QRM. THANK YOU ! Conditions are definitly on the rise.... For me it was great to make my 1st 10m contact outside the America's with VK4KW. And a new DXCC contact with ST2AR.(.you my friend sure have sensitive ears , and made my day! ) Let's keep on testing...CUAGN 73 de John |
| KC2FBV | SO LP 20M | Gave me a chance to test my rig for Field Day. First contest since my Mom passed. |
| KC6X | SO HP ALL | Got my best WPX score ever! Definitely improving condx. 20m and 40m phone bands were a zoo most of the time with S-9+ signals and no open frequencies the norm. I only heard the "big gun" European stations on 15m from here on the Left Coast. Too bad it wasn't a stronger opening. 10m has some sustained openings into South America. Maybe next year 10m will really start to shine. |
| KC8YLD | SO LP 20M | My first WPX Contest! Exciting, Educational, Fun, Challenging! |
| KD3HN | SO LP ALL | Low power (90 W) into a 20m doublet and a full-wave 160 loop... fun / exhausting weekend! |
| KD4D/3 | M2 | Wow! This contest is a LOT more fun with 15 meters! We had more QSO's on 15 than 40... Congratulations to K1LZ for a phenomenal M/2 score. Thanks as usual to John Evans for letting us join him at the "farm" in. The highlight for me was having 3D2YY call me on 80 and tell me that I was the loudest North American station on 80 at 20 over! The new three-element delta loop wire beam at 140 feet really plays to 3D2! :-) |
| KD7DCR | SA HP 40M | WHAT A RIDE... I remember hearing a Russian station give out a number "5050" this year...big difference from last year...more bands are open, finally. I'll be back! |
| KD8GRO | SO LP 20M | I worked 4 new DX entities! |
| KD8SQ | SO HP 20M | Had a great time. Been away from contesting for a while, and really enjoyed getting back at it. |
| KE4HUD | SO QRP 40M | FT 817 WITH 2 HAMSTICK ANTENNAs. |
| KE5SNJ | SO LP 10M | I listened from 1500 UTC to 2035 on 3/28 before I made my first QSO. And from 1700 UTC to 000, but no conditions on 3/29. |
| KE7WVZ | SO LP ALL | Good Band Conx and lower QRM....makes for lots of QSO's over the Weekend...THX |
| KE7ZZO | SO LP ALL | This was my first contest. |
| KG0F | SO HP 20M | What a great contest, too much fun! Thanks to Steve, KG0F, for allowing me to use his callsign & to Chuck, K0RF, from whose station I operated. See you all next year! |
| KG6DX | SO HP ALL | Nice to see some good conditions on 15 meters, looking forward to 10 meters to come back. |

| KJ8O | SO LP ALL | Installed a ground mounted 5BTV since last year, and was very impressed with the number of contacts made. Had a great time and will be back next year. |
| KJ9B | SO LP ALL | Very Casual Operation, spare time only |
| KK0A | SO LP ALL | most contacts for me during a contest |
| KK0SD | SO LP ALL | Lot's of Qs! A great year! |
| KK7OO | MM | Had a fun time. it's hard to compete against the monster stations, but it was fun, we all got a little better and we can't wait for the next contest. We never really got the rates up where we wanted them. Not a single EU contact on 15 although the band was good for us elsewhere. 10m openings to the superstations in SA, but not a thing else. The QRM on 20 and 40 made it very tough to keep a frequency (or put it to any real use if we were there for a while. Only one antenna malfunction, but it cost us nearly an hour...damn you eBay and your cheap coax adapters...luckily this one was on the ground! Thanks to all the casual stations out there handing out Q's. We worked lots of guys with fewer than 20 contacts and we tried to thank and encourage them when we could...they amounted for a lot of our points on Sunday. |
