K1LT/8 | SA HP ALL | This was my first CW WPX contest. Normally, the contest collides with my annual Memorial Day weekend activities, but not this year. Perhaps the contest should be permanently delayed by a week. Since I could almost dedicate the whole weekend to the contest, I decided to make some antenna improvements prior to the test. Since financial constraints continue to enforce my un-official "all verticals all of the time" policy, I decided to make use of the 1200 square foot metal roof of my pole barn. I drilled a hole through the peak, and poked an aluminum tube through the hole, U-bolted to the rafters. To the pole I mounted an old Hy-Gain vertical bracket with enough tubing to make a quarter-wave 20 meter vertical. I had an FT-240 left over from some prior experiment with a 5:6 ratio transformer wound on it, and that seemed to produce an adequate match on 20 meters. Since I now had a dedicated 20 meter vertical, I took down the ground-mounted 4-BTV and put the full-sized 40 meter vertical in its place. I finished these tasks just minutes before the contest. Although conditions were poor, I was pleased with the performance of the 40 meter and 20 meter verticals. The 40 meter vertical also performed reasonably well on 15 meters. I frequently used my Beverages for reception on 20. I think I need a better feed line to the 40 meter vertical, as 15 meter signals were all rather weak. There may be as much as 3 db of loss in my ancient pieces of RG8, although I'm just guessing. Late in the afternoon and in the evening of both days I was able to have modest runs on both 20 and 40. In fact, stations were still calling me right up to the end of the contest. Radios: IC-765 (needs trimmer caps replaced), ETO-91B (thanks, Jeff!) Antennas: 160 - 65 foot "T" with with 75 radials 80 - 2 inverted-L wires attached to 160 vertical feed point 40 & 15 - 32 foot ground mounted vertical with 32 radials 20 - 17 foot roof mounted vertical over metal roof 12 Beverages 500 - 900 feet |
K1SM | SO QRP ALL | Entire contest with the Elecraft K1 QRP rig! |
K2PS | SO LP ALL | My last hurrah from this QTH. Moving to DC but without the tower and antennas, so you'll have to dig me out of the mud for that DC mult. And to N1UR, W3EF, N5AW, N4YDU, etc., you won't have K2PS to kick around anymore in the LP battles unless I can find some kind station owner down there to put up with me. I don't usually participate in this contest, the weather generally being so nice this time of year in NJ, but I got special dispensation in this case. And it was a fun contest! It's nice when there is always someone to work, although my rates didn't match up to the Big 4 DX contests. The 36 hour limit was perfect, as I generally operate at about that level, and so this time I didn't feel guilty about getting my beauty rest. Thanks to all for a great run. 73, Pete, K2PS |
K2TV | SO LP ALL | 10 meter E-skip opening was a nice surprise. |

K8OQL | SO HP 80M | FT-1000MP MARK V (5), AL-800H AMPLIFIER, 80 METER HOMEBREW VERTICAL ANTENNA FOR XMIT AND RCV. I did a Single-Band 80 WPX CW entry because it was a chance to see how the homebrew 80 Meter Vertical worked under springtime propagation and weather conditions (Lightning QRN and atmospherics). |

KC0MO | SO HP ALL | The Russian UA/RV/RW stations really saved the day |
KC6X | SO HP ALL | Terrible condx on 10m and 15m as is becoming normal for contests of late. 20m was not especially the first day. It was open to midnight into Eastern EU. 40m became the mainstay overnight. I managed to get a bunch of QRO EU and JA stations. I made more Qs and points than last year so I won't complain. 73! |
KC7UP | SO HP 20M | Conditions really funny. No Asia, No OC, No Caribbean. Only heard 3 SA stns. |
KD4D/3 | M2 | Thanks as always to John Evans for letting us invade the farm. EUROPEANS ON 20 - I didn't expect that! 15 was better than I expected too. It's a good thing 20 was open most of the night Friday, given very bad QRN on 80! Thanks for all the QSO's. |
KG9Z/8 | SO HP ALL | 40M seemed very good. Only on for a short time. |
KH2AR/NI4 | SA LP ALL | Thanks for a great contest - I finally managed to work Republic of Georgia! |
