VK3FQSOSO LOW 15M15 October, 2013 I used SD Logger by EI5DI. Terrific program!
VK3NRWSO LOW ALLEnjoyable contest as usual but found it better with new rules. Some operators a bit impatient as usual but we get past these. Thanks to the contest operators. Will try to have fun and be in it again next year
VK3TZSA LOW ALLLots of other functions on the weekend...all my friends seem to be having 50th Birthday parties. I guess it will be my turn soon. Some nice DX about but did not manage to find a single new band slot, despite basically DXing throughout the contest. 10m was in great shape and 15m was open until about 5am, 1 hour before sunrise and then opened again at around 6.30am about 15mins after sunrise. 80m was a wipeout with high absorption, I could hardly hear K3LR for pete's sake. This is where i had hoped to work a few new ones and crack 200 DXCC on that band. Had fun with nice signals at last the SSN was something reasonable. Cheers guys, thanks for the test

W0GNSA LOW 10MOnly one zone 28 and the call did not match the zone!
W0RAASA LOW ALLBand conditions were phenominal to say the least. Who can complain? I spent my time on 10, 15 & 20 meters, and strictly a S&P effort. Only devoted a little over 11 hours, but had a blast. It's like a second peak of this cycle. Now, if it will stay like this the rest of the contest season, it's going to be incredible. Thanks to all the contacts I made

W1ZD/7SO LOW 15MWhat great band conditions. Wish I could have operated the whole weekend
W2YE/4SO HIGH ALLEntered new CLASSIC overlay since operating time and one radio were appropriate, but missed using the cluster. Then realized that the only advantage to that catagory was listing my call in a different place on the website, so will revert to old high-assisted
W2YRSA HIGH ALLLots of fake spots and had to use N1MM blacklist feature to block spots by offending spotters!
