| W0M | MSL | Best we could do with all going on. Thanks K0GUZ for this opportunity to Mike it out with cw. PTL bb |
| W0MN | SA HP ALL | I mainly got on just to get HI CW to complete my triple play. Not much time for anything else |
| W0YJT | SO LP ALL | 423 q's 20.33 hrs total time |
| W1EBI | SA LP ALL | First time back in WPX CW since 2009. Thanks to Tony K1KP for the use of his station via remote. George W1EBI |
| W1FJ | SO QRP ALL | First time to do serious QRP, had fun! |
| W1MJ | SO LP ALL | Some Sunday contacts were made during a trial run of back yard Class 1B Field Day |
| W1NN | SO LP 40M | Remote from Tokyo, Japan |
| W1WEF | SO LP 20M | Condx sure different than yesterday when I operated as WT7V from home in Ct |
| W2AAB | SO LP 40M | Conditions on 40 were fairly good, but not great. New rig here helped increase my score from last year. WPX is still my favorite contest |
| W2DLT | SA HP ALL | FRANKFORD RADIO CLUB |
| W2EG | SO LP 40M | Line of thunder storms coming through Fri night (local) did not help! Sure am looking forward to better conditions. Avr score per QSO down to 3.5 and QSOs logged down to 427. Worst showing for me in years. As last year, unable to run EU for more than few QSOs (unlike years past -- not that many years ago, I broke 1M). Still had fun. Thanks all for the QSOs. 73, Rich, W2EG |
| W2GD | SA HP ALL | Station K8AZ WRTC2022 SA#4 |
| W2XYZ | SA HP ALL | Good signals and low noise helped a lot |
| W3AKD | SO HP 40M | I heard there was a solar flare and reported radio blackout Friday. Any adverse effects on the contest observed? Had FB time lots of activity. Glad to provide Maine ...73 W3AKD |
| W3EF | SO LP 40M | Did you know stations fall into disrepair if not properly maintained? Good. I just found out . So I did a SOSB 40m entry, keyed it all by hand, and did without all the usual software features. But it was still fun! Great to see everybody after a few years! |
| W3FIZ | SA HP ALL | belive it or not been contesting since 1979 first time doing this test |
| W3SA | SO HP ALL | Casual contesting with only an 80m horizontal loop |
| W3YJ | SO QRP ALL | Operated 100% remotely from 85M away from my station by connecting to a Raspberry Pi running Fldigi/Flrig. Worked great! Operating QRP with a wire antenna wasn't as painful as I had feared |
| W4EE | SA LP ALL | Very nice contest, we need more CW |
| W4IPC | SA LP ALL | It was fun to put my first real effort in a CW contest. Was not able to beat KM4SII but next year i will... and i will get my extra. See you all in CQWW! Connor, W4IPC |
| W4SPR | SO LP ALL | Openings on 10m and 15m for a significant time. Still having problems with the SDRuno pan adapter, sending spurious stuff to the rig. But otherwise, lots of fun! 73, Spray |
| W5CUY | SO LP ALL | DEC. 07, 2018 |
| W6JBR | SO HP ALL | I hope that all of you are well and staying safe during the current pandemic. Thanks for the Qs. Hope to hear you again soon. 73, JR K3/100 ACOM 1000 31 foot ground mounted vertical WinKeyer 3 USB Dell Core2 1.8GHz WinXP N1MM+ |
| W6NCB | SA LP ALL | First CW test, good time! |
| W6YA | Checklog | Only S&P for DX and some friends part time |
| W7DRA | SO LP 160M | tb wires class HQ100 with a 6au6 bfo, ARC5 VFO with a keyed 6AG7-807 MOPA WItH A PARALLEL Pair OF 211S AT 1200V AND 100MA input, antenna an oversized 80m half square voltage fed, with three 1/4 wave radials |
| W7DXX | MSH | Lots of fun - our first effort as a Multi-Op with one transmitter :) |
| W8EO | SA LP ALL | Great Fun! |
| W8FN | SO HP ALL | This was the first real contest with the new station. Results were pretty good for just a set of dipoles, especially considering the poor conditions. It was good to hear signals on 15 meters, and somewhat surprising to work a few on 10. 100% S&P -- dipoles just won't work for running in a big 'un like WPX. Thanks for the QSOs and see y'all in the upcoming contests. Station: Equipment: K3 / KPA500 @500W Antennas: 80, 40 inverted vee @ approx. 50 feet 20-15-10 dipole @ approx. 35 feet. 73... Randy, W8FN |
| W8KNO | SO LP ALL | All Search & Pounce. Dryer Broke and wife has pneumonia, I was busy |
| W8LVN | SO LP ALL | Been a long time since I ran this contest. Maybe it was from N9RV back in Indiana. In fact, I have been mostly off the air for many years and am now just rebuilding the station. I did get in a little time on the 160 and SS, but those were my very compromise antennas. They were of the 'dancing elephant' variety--it isn't so much about how well the elephant dances as whether it can dance at all So now I have dipoles for 160 (don't tell Pat), 80, 40 and 20. The 20 is a sloper as I am blessed with too many trees here on the new lot. I set as a goal to work the full 36 hours, and see where the totals came out. I was very sluggish for the first 8 hours or so, which certainly cost me in the totals. I decided to just go for QSO totals and let the mults and points fall where they may. My CW was a bit rusty, as I had trouble copying cut serial numbers at 40 wpm. Never did get that straightened out. But operationally I improved my code speed by a bunch. Some highlights some runs going with 100 watts and dipoles working a bunch of SMC. And some very weird calls like NR7DX. Also, working a fair amount on 15, with a finding a multiplier on 160 of VY2ZM. That is very near France, as you may know. I didn't manage on/off times very well, and as a result lost a fair amount of time. But I was in the chair for the rest of the time. And I am very happy with the K3S as it is seriously good at pulling apart CW signals. Thanks for all the Qs! |
| W8WA | SO HP 20M | Great condx!!! |
| W9PA | SA HP ALL | ust tried to work different prefixes. Damaged Moxon wrapped around tower so antennas stuck pointed SSE and high SWR on 40M. Could barely hear EU on Sunday morning but was able to work them in the late afternoon |
| W9RE | SO HP ALL | A fun contest with a lot of activity. Conditions to Europe not very good either day |
| WA1FCN | SA LP ALL | Dear Sirs I accidentally loaded wrong contest module and found mistake in hour 01 I believe I sent wrong number to about 4 or 5 people in hout 01 |
| WA2ALY | SO LP ALL | IC-7000, TEN TEC 238 C, INVERTED L, |
| WA4EUL | SO LP ALL | 'A small fish in a sea of contesters . . .' |
| WA5SOG | SO LP ALL | My best contest score ever. Had an absolutely great time! |
| WA6KHK | SA HP ALL | Not many DX openings on west coast. Lot of 'oneses' kept total score down |
| WA6URY | SO HP ALL | Operated remote from Tokyo, Japan |
| WA7KVI | SO LP ALL | First major contest. Had a great time |
| WA8MDC | SO LP ALL | FIRST CQ WW WPX CONTEST |
| WA8Y | SA HP ALL | This was a personal best, thanks to hard work and CWops. I've join last May and I've been practicing on air and with CW practice resources |
| WB0POH | SO LP ALL | Rough conditions to EU for 20m. Actually had better luck on 40m until there was a sudden 1-hour opening where I managed to work 19 QSOs - 17 of them EU |
| WB0RUR | SA LP 20M | No time to operate this year! |
| WB0SND | SA HP ALL | Very Part Time effort this year at under 9 hours. Only one antenna ter all band doublet at about 50 feet. Maybe next year a bigger effort |
| WB2KWC | SO LP ALL | I made QSOs on all 5 bands. Conditions must have been superb, my highest score ever in any contest |
| WB2NVR | SA HP ALL | Didn't hear most of the DX that was spotted, but guess it's to be expected with only a vertical antenna. Nice to see some activity on 15 and 10 meters |
| WB5VZL | SO HP 15M | call CQ and see where the band was open too - even late at night |
| WB7QMR | SA LP 20M | Flex6300, Outbacker Ant, CW-Skimmer |
