| W2ZV/4 | SO LOW ALL | Ran a 2 element 10 Meter beam hung on the rafters in the attic pointed due west with clip leads to extend the driven element for 15 and 20 Meters. Worked a JA and 3 VK's on 10 Meters. Saturday was really good on 10, while Sunday was down some. 20 Meters was OK to Europe and the Americas, while 15 Meters was not so hot, as the 10 Meter reflector hurt the pattern some. Never even tried the 40 meter dipole in the attic. Had a great time. - W2ZV |

| W6ZQ/7 | SO HIGH 10M | I had a computer crash after saving QSOs from start of contest until 0200. QSOs maybe out of order and utc times mixed.I don't know how to properly correct. They can't be too far off as I have been receiving LOTW confirmations |

| W9YB | SO LOW ALL | For the contest I operated from Purdue Amateur Radio Club. Purdue has one of the oldest clubs in the USA. Experiments in radio at Purdue started around 1910 and the first license of 9YB was obtained in 1912. Federal licensing of 9YB is confirmed in the RADIO SERVICE BULLETIN of December 1920. The call W9YB was granted in 1932 pursuant with the Communications Act of 1932. We have been active in the West Tower of the Purdue Memorial Union ever since. After being out of ham radio for 10 years I decided to jump back in during the biggest contest of the year. The guys at W9YB took me back as an alumni member and offered me the shack for the weekend. Contesting is still as fun as it ever was and I got to show off to the club members what it is to contest. They had not been into that part of the hobby for a very long time and got excited about how I could work through pile-ups on a mere 100 watts. It was great fun digging out those weak signals and having hams in other parts of the world remember the W9YB call as they had either worked us in past years or had been members when the were at Purdue. The best part was working the equipment again to get the most out of what we have. Although I could only work 16 hours of the 48 hours of the contest, I worked over half the zones and actually worked my first Japan station. I am definitely hooked on contesting again.

| WA0QVC/7 | SO LOW 15M | This is my first log submission and I am so sorry for the mistakes. I am resubmitting to change my claimed score because I misunderstood how to calculate my score. I think I finally have it right |
| WA1JMP | SO HIGH 15M | Not enough space to operate on band |
| WA2BFW/7 | SO HIGH 15M | Managed to damage the tower 24hrs before the contest but still had fun |
| WA3SRU | SO LOW ALL | Great contest. Actually worked all 6 bands with 100 watts. 10 meters was so good, I spent a lot of time there. Best score of any contest for me |
| WA5IYX | SO LOW ALL | (2002) FT-847; (1977) 3-el 10-m Wilson Yagi 20' AGL; 15-m 2-el Yagi 12' AGL, 20-40 m fan dipoles 15' AGL. 10-m activity was the big news again with being forced above 29 MHz at times. Almost all Qs S&P (sometimes 2/min), longest of my few runs only c. dozen (and most of that were US Qs). Slowed by having to put my QRG in the note file of CT with each Q (later manually moving that info via notepad into this log). A73A there a nice new catch. Loss of director on 15-m Yagi had SWR limit rig to 50w out there. With only c. 10-15 min between 15-m and 10-m paths opening to Europe limited morn op time on 21-MHz. 20-m open so late hardly any time spent on 40-m. No 80-m as antenna problems there |
| WA5RML | SO LOW 40M | TT Jupiter @100 wts; G5RV antenna; |
| WA5SWN/0 | SO LOW 15M | Did we have a solar flare or something? Getting QSOs was like walking in molasses. I kept looking for an antenna problem after I gave up the contest, but found nothing |
| WA5WFE | SA LOW 10M | Good conditions. Band open to many regions and low noise level |
| WA6KHK | SA HIGH 40M | I went for 40 meters single band entry because I had a reunion on Saturday and a service for a family member with cancer on Sunday. However, I couldn't resist the nice morning openings on 10 meters! |
| WA7LT | SO HIGH 15M | At 80 years I still enjoy the contest and find it fun! |
| WA7NB | SO HIGH ALL | Ten Meters was in great shape. Best I've seen it in years |
| WA7PRC | SO LOW ALL | I didn't work very hard at it... around 12 hours total seat time. EU was there in a big way on 20m just about every time I sat down. 10m was good for SA |
| WA8Y | SA HIGH ALL | I achieved a personal best in my second CQ-WW-SSB contest! |
| WB1EAZ | SO HIGH 80M | Worked country #99 on 80m |
| WB4MNK | SA LOW ALL | Fun Contest and Bands were great |
