WA5JSO QRP ALLDidn't have much luck on 15M QRP or time last weekend
WA6KHKSO HIGH 10MOnce I started working on 10 meters and saw how wide open it was, I decided to concentrate on just the 10 meters single band entry. We did pretty good with 325 Q's, with 94 countries (almost single band DXCC in one week end!) and 33 zones for 127 mults! 10 meters was so great that I worked EE1B way over on 28.934!!! See you next year!
WA7PRCSO HIGH ALLThe propagation Gods were smiling!
WB0RUR/5SA LOW ALLgreat contest
WB2DVESO LOW 10M100 Watts
WB4OMMSO LOW ALLWow! Great conditions! Couldn't work the whole contest, but what I was able to work was fantastic!
WB7OCV/2SO QRP 10MQRP..no problem !! Talk about "sweet" DX-they were there.. oh yeh, and "regular" DX by the buckets ! I definitely have to put up some kind of directional antenna. CQ WW '11 rules !!!
WB9LRKSO LOW ALLGreat Contest and a lot of fun
WC9CSO LOW ALLGreat Band Conditons
WD0GTY/5SO LOW ALLBuddipole on 10 and 15 and 20/40 dipole up only 10 feet. Had a blast
WE9RSA LOW ALLBest 10M conditions since early 1990s!!
WI9MSO LOW ALLdid good in 3 hrs, good band condx
WN1ESO LOW ALLWould have been on longer, but the big storm knocked out the power for most of the contest
WN3RSA HIGH ALL11 inches of snow in October!! Power sputtered from time to time killing the amp and logging program. Cable went out taking the internet with it. Ran 8 hours on the 25KW generator. Took time off to see grandson's hockey game. Icing on the cake was the corrupted logging file. Managed to recover. All in all, great band conditions
WN7TSO HIGH ALLGREAT propagation conditions!
WO4MWSA HIGH ALLSingle wire
WO7VSO HIGH ALLConditions were generally very good. The 10 meter band proved to be the heavy lifter which is very unusual compared to past contests. The higher bands crapped out earlier than I had expected. The lower bands were very poor. Actually somewere between substandard and shitty! The thing I like about band conditons is you can only predict them with in about a foot and a half. It's really a crap shoot which is probably what makes the contests more interesting. I picked up a few new ones. I hope they all use lotw as I'm to cheap to send out the cards! The cq ww ssb is really the big Kahuna of contests. It was my first back in a previous life when we all used vacuum tubes, and we liked it! Getting used to using my amp, antenna tuner and my beam antenna, and last but not least, the flex radio (who needs knobs anyway). In this contest, you really need an amp. I knew somebody the tried to do this contest without an amp, but the a bunch of ferrel lids threw him into the mosh pit, never to be seen again. I wonder what happened to old Housley anyway? He would made a good elmer but he would never change his name! The thing I like about cq's tests is that you get 2 full days to work them. Perhaps they should go for an even week at 168 hours. Or even better yet, how about a year at 8760 hours. That would really make a man out of you
WP3GWSO LOW ALLWow! Incredible propagation conditions mostly on 10m with 200 plus QSOs! No new one but did the DXCC in a weekend. Good Luck to all!
WQ6XSO LOW ALLOperating this contest was a last minute affair to test out a newly-cquired Butternut HF2-V Vertical in preparation for next weekend's SS contest. 10 meters this year was AWEsome!! So was 15! 20 meters STUNK this year - GO Figure

XV9DXSA HIGH 15MGreat contest! Pitty I fell asleep at the end of the contest. Missed at least 150 contacts. Conditions were great and I really enjoyed working caribean mults through EU wall. Worked almost 170 BY stations, 500 US, 650 JA and 1500 Europeans. Need to mention the arrogance of some stations as well. Such an example is HG1S whos manners were amazing. Start CQing on top of you and when you tell them that this frq is occupied, the only answer you get from them is "Yes it is! By me!" :( See you in the CW part! Michal OM2DX / XV9DX
