| VE3MCF: Did not get much time for this one... |
| OK1KMG: FT-847 & FC-20 = 50 W; 80 m = DIP, over = Yagi ECO Beam Asay Nr 78. OP: Leo OK1ULE. |
| W6QE: A GREAT CONTEST. IT'S TOUGH FROM THE WEST COAST AND IT'S NICE TO WORK MANY OLD FRIENDS AND ADD SOME NEW CALLS TO MY LOG. |
| CN8KD: Poor conditions and very few participants. |
| KI4CBF: Thanks for putting on this and other contests. 73, Chris |
| W9ILY: Sorry for the multiple submissions. This one is the last one. N1MMLogger did not handle the scoring accurately as it did not differentiate between the foreign prefixes i.e. IZ1, IV3, IK1, etc. as it scored all as being "I" prefix. Too bad there was so little RTTY activity. |
| KC2SKI: My first day on digital (except CW of course) thanks for all your help A lot more PSK stations than RTTY here. Thanks for a great contest! |
| WA4EEZ: Condx poor on Saturday, but still enjoyed this contest!! |
| KS0M: My first try in this contest and it was a disaster. Three contacts and all DX. No NA calls at all answering my many CQ's or found during S&P. When you don't hear any USA calls, something is very wrong. I probably will not try this one next year. |
| DL6SFR: Not my day ...Sadly not many participants. 1 hour calling cq, only one came back :-) |
| VAZ7ST: Ouch. PSK contesting is slow. I relearn that every year. Plenty of rag-chewers around, but not many contesters. Thanks to all I worked. |
| OH6HOW: RXTX:YAESU FT-817ND Ant:Caronine WINDOM 45.meter hig.up |
| AE6RF: A bit of low key operation at the start of the day. Didn't get back on the air until the contest was over. No worries, it allowed me to knock the cobwebs off my PSK31 setup and operating skills. |
| KA2FNH: Had a great time in the few hours that I worked. Stuck around till 1:30 am local.Worked all parts of the US and western Canada..so I enjoyed the variety of stations out there..Than I went to bed as I had to work the next morning.. so the skirmish was over for me as soon as it began..looking forward to the grid dip...bring it on!! |
| WG5T: Only operated about 4 hrs total but it's a fun contest. Tnx |
| KA6MAL: I enjoyed the chance to make my first HELL QSO's! Lots of fun! |
| NG7Z: Fun contest. Thanks for putting it on. |
| N7UVH: Good time. |
