N1DAESO QRP 10MFirst time operating in this contest
N1JPSO HP ALLOperated S&P. S9 noise level on 20 meters when antenna is pointed between the azimuths of 300 deg. to 75 deg. That made working Europe and Asia miserable. 10 and 15 meters were virtually noise free. Otherwise, it was a great contest

N2SLOSO HP ALLBest contest of all time. Worked four bands, significant effort for a small station. Conditions were amazing, expected at the top of the sunspot cycle. Most QSOs ever for any contest since I started contesting back in 2025. I was 20/9 in Europe on 20M with wire antenna. The stations were shocked how strong my signal was. Thanks to sponsor and all the stations I worked

N4BRFMSHThis entry is for the Boca Raton ARA 'Intro to Contesting- Part 3' students who participated for 3 hours in CQ WPX SSB. I have been very fortunate to mentor these fine ops who are learning the ropes of contesting so nice to see their enthusiasm! Congratulations Al, Steve and Harold keep up the good work. vy 73, Chris, NX4N
N4IWSO LP ALLThis contest was a hard one for me and I did not do well. I was not properly motivated this weekend after working on my taxes for far too many hours this week! The bands seemed squirrely for me, and I had a hard time making contacts. 15 meters was a hot mess with so many stations overlapping each other. I could only operate for a short time due other pressing activities
N4NTOSO LP ALLNot much time to play, but grand fun!
N4ZQASO LP ALLAlways a good contest. Very good operators

N6ANSO QRP 10MPortable from Flint Peak, SOTA W6/CT-225. KX3 @5 watts, 10 meter half square made of CAT5e twisted pair. Supports are collapsible fishing poles. All S&P. Always a delight to be copied QRP. I find it telling that some of the cleanest signals are the highest scorers
N6HISO QRP ALLQRP 5W to a 20-Foot End-Fed Wire. Got on for a few minutes whenever I got the chance. Fun QRP SSB DXing. Tnx for your patience and the QSOs. Go Arizona Outlaws! -73- John N6HI

N7MZWSO LP ALLIC-7300, Heil ProMicro Headset, Half Size G5RV up 45 feet, at 6,053 feet elevation. Worst audio award goes to a CX5 and a FM5. Another ZW5 Op decided that he did not have to provide a signal report as part of his exchange (as required in the rules) , and when I politely requested one, called me a 'Band Cop'. I guess that's one way to up your Q rate. Always a FUN event from my '100 Watts and a Wire' Station. 73 de N7MZW in Cheyenne, WY

NE4CMSHOperated portable from Crooked River State Park in St. Marys, GA
NE9MSO LP ALLGoal was 500 Qs, and at times, I didn't think I was going to make it, and almost gave up Saturday late night with 371 Qs in the log. I chose to use a rarely used club call, NE9M, in the hopes to attract ops. Well, you gotta run and you gotta get spotted for that to work! I found it next to impossible to find a freq unoccupied to run, and when I did, it never lasted long as some DX would jump on it as I was trying to establish a run. LP and and 6BTV ground mounted kinda gets lost in the QRM! I did make literally just a hand full of Qs running on three occasions, and apparently never got spotted or the NE prefix should have sparked a pile up. I realized it was going to be an S&P slog to 500. PLEASE RPT#,,PLEASE AGN UR#... I am going to have nightmares of numbers bouncing off the ceiling and walls slamming me in the head! Not only me giving repeats, but it was even a slower slog S&Ping up and down the bands waiting for the station I wanted to work go through this cadence with the contact/s before me. I debated Sunday morning, as I was waking up, if I even wanted to torture myself again by jumping in the fray. I decided to give it a look see around 9:30 am local, but would bail if the irritation level neared critical condition. The first 30 minutes on 10 meters I made 30 Qs and 10 seemed way better than Saturday. I bounced between 10 and 15, and even though there were slower times at times, I figured at the pace I was making Qs, I should be done to 500 by early afternoon. I was now committed! When 10 dried up of new calls I'd go to 15, and then back to 10 when 15 did the same. Thanks to some really good conditions on 10 and 15, and some new fresh meat world wide. I was able hit 500 plus a few by 21:00utc and call in a contest. Looks like this one will be an all time personal best SSB finish. Thanks for the Qs and your patience receiving my exchange! 73 Gene N9TF (NE9M)
NG1RSO LP 15MThanks for the contacts. Thanks to Roger - NG1R for the use of his callsign for the contest. Thanks to the WWROF & committee for sponsoring the contest and processing the logs & results. 73 - Dan, W1QK
