VU3SPDSO LP ALLFirst CQ WW WPX SSB contest
VU3XLCSO LP ALLTHIS WAS MY SECOND CQ WPX CONTEST. I ENJOYED A LOT :)
VY2LISO LP ALLWell that was fun! Seemed like the first time I was really contesting since 2017, even if only with 90 watts and low wires. 99% of my claimed 10-hr BIC time was S & P some Qs requiring many, many calls (I can appreciate the QRPers now!). As a twist, I decided to try Live Score which I had peeked at a few times registered, and up popped my score somewhere down the list (like about 500!) several hundred points behind a VA3. Well, I started to put a little more time in the chair and watched as I climbed the ladder, leapfrogging my VA3 friend and visa versa until finally we were down to the wire..my last update went in...we were neck and neck, then boom! the VA3 beats me by a couple of hundred points. We had climbed from the 500th place range to the mid 300s which was a victory for me and my very humble station. I think I like this Live Score thing! A paltry 88 Qs, but a lot of fun achieved and even had a few old friends acknowledge my call...thanks for the Qs. 73, Bill FT-950, N1MM+ 20 & 40 Wires @ 7' AGL
VY2WWSO HP ALLFirst time running WPX. Inexhaustible numbers of stations on 20 and 40 meters! Learned a few things about managing the pileup and QRM! Thanks to all the good operators who made this contest educational and fun!
W0ETTSO HP ALL20m was the place to be in this test. 15m and six on 10m provided some nice prefix mults and where we had good South America activity. Thanks to the DXpeditioners who activated a number of rare mults. 73 Ken W0ETT
W1SSSSO QRP ALLFirst Licensed 05/18/2020
W2AABSO LP ALLFriday night started out with generally poor conditions on 40. Saturday saw some improvement, with a mild SA opening on 15, but 20 was better on Sunday. Took many times off due to the frustrations of less than stellar propagation and lots of QRM. I'm a CW guy, looking forward to the CW weekend. Go FRC!
W2ASDSO LP ALLFirst licensed on on 4/22/2020 How far can I go with a little Xiegu G90, an XPA125B 100W amp, and a 130’ EFHW antenna from Chameleon from the foothills of the Catskills?
W2CGSO HP 20MJust a part-time effort due to other commitments
W2DWSSO LP ALLUsing a KX3, KXPA100 and a 19 foot Chameleon MPAS 3
W3FOXSO HP ALLUnfortunately, both my 40 and 80 meter wire dipoles were not operational f or the contest due to blown baluns from operating on FT8. Therefore, I lost out in getting points from those bands when the other bands were closed. I made the best of a bad situation by getting some sleep during the night an d only operated for a little over 20 hours. 160 meters was quite good on Fr iday night, but was terrible on Saturday night. There were some good openin g on 15 meters during the contest and most of the 10 meter DX was in South America. Equipment: IC-7610, PW-1 amp, hex beam for 20,15, and 10, and an i nverted L for 160

W7DXXMSHThis was the first time the three of us worked together as a Single/Multi Op Remote. Thanks to Keith W7DXX for making his remote available to us. We used the Hamachi VPN for networking to the remote and and N1MM in network mode. Both worked perfectly. Michael KE4DHK and Bob KC6AWX did a tremendous job - these two are absolute workhorses and deserve all the credit - me ?(N4HH) - I just barely showed up in time to make a few Q's - very few Q's - hi hi! It was a great learning experience for all of us and an awful lot of fun :)

WA7YXYSO LP ALLThis is a very enjoyable contest. I really like the everybody talks to everybody format
WA8YSO HP ALLMy two element Quad was no match for the big station and the poor propagation. My internet connection was interrupted several times. I didn't even try my wires on the low bands. When I finally got a frequency to Run, my network connection dropped. Then the moon come up out of the ocean, at dusk and I focused on photography

WB2KHESO LP ALLinteresting contest!
WB6JJJSO HP ALLHmmm, conditions were not that great this weekend. Friday early evening the noise level was S8 to over S9 when normally it is S0 to S2. It didn't help with the antenna pointing to 45 degrees - defective rotor control box is being repaired at Yaesu. At least I could select the 180 degree option of the DB-36 antenna. I wish I had more time to play radio but there was too much to do here before the rain started today. Thanks for all of the Qs, especially from our club members. Greatly appreciated. Bill
