| N6QQ | SA HP ALL | Great contest - lots of Action - John N6QQ |
| N6TCZ | SO HP ALL | Great DX. Second contest with a new station. Good sportmanship on all bands. |
| N6WIN | SA HP ALL | Had a blast using new station! Took the week off work to finish installing 29' of Rohn 25G in the backyard. Put up a TH7DX at 30' and D40 at 35'. Ran a FT2000 wth SB221. Good fun, although I had a tough time working the EU in a timely manner from here with my current conditions. |
| N8AJN/0 | MSH | Tremendously fun contest for us. Great activity from US, VE, Carribean, Central and South America, and Europe. Have not heard 10 meters sound so alive in several years. See you next time ! |
| N8BJQ | SO HP ALL | This was fun. Nice to have 10M back. Nice opening on Saturday afternoon. |
| N8DE | SO LP ALL | Limited time/vertical antenna/80 watts Had fun. |
| N8NA/3 | SO LP ALL | Very lively and quick contest TenTec Omni 6; ANTENNA(s): Tribanders and wire antennas |

| N9FN | SO LP ALL | I was on the road most of the weekend, so made 50 Q's as N9FN/M |
| NA8SA | SO LP ALL | It's a bit like fishing: you call CQ for nothing but then one time they start biting big-time |
| NC6PT | SO LP ALL | It was a hoot getting South America on 15 meters. |
| ND0C | SO QRP ALL | I love WPX and this was the first time in several years that I didn't have a scheduling conflict. 20 was the usual mess with splatter from band edge to band edge, but there were nice openings on 15 and even 10 (but no EU). It was tough going on 80 and 40 as usual with QRP and mediocre antennas, but a few DX stations managed to find their way into the log. As always, thanks for the good ears out there and the persistence (and patience) with fills and repeats. But despite the challenges of QRP, after 30 years of contesting exclusively with 5 watts, or less, I'm still amazed at how it gets through. Incredible. (My first WPX contest using QRP was in 1980: single band on 10M with a brand new Argonaut 509 - which I still have and used some in this one!) |
| ND4V | SA LP ALL | Not in it to win it, but was glad to give out a few multipliers. Was glad to see 10 m open. |
| NE5D | SO LP ALL | Surprised several EU heard me, some well, on 40 meters barefoot into a single Butternut vertical. |

| NX0X/4 | SO HP ALL | FIRST - THANKS TO BRIAN, NX0X, FOR THE USE OF HIS CALL.. IT WAS A GREAT CONTEST FROM THIS PART OF THE U.S. REALLY GREAT TO SEE 15M OPEN..BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE 15M WAS THE "MONEY BAND." EVEN LOTS OF ACTIVITY ON 10M..THANKS TO CQ FOR SPONSORING YET ANOTHER GREAT CONTEST... |
| NX7TT | SO LP 15M | My worst attempt at a contest since 1984. But things were out of my control. Lost a couple of cards in the computer so that was down. The rotator was not working when I got home so ordered parts to fix it. Of course will not come on for a week so antenna was stuck at 90 degrees. The also had power outages so only was able to do 16.5 hours. But had fun anyway. With the job situation and me commuting to Illinios does not make it any easier either. So maybe next year will be better...see ya at Dayton maybe Visalia. |
