| V55Y | SO HP 10M | Did enjoy the good opening to North America. Lot of QRM from an OTH Radar. It's a challenge to compete with a smaller setup. Equipment is an IC-7300, ACOM 1010 and a Spiderbeam with armstrong rotator |
| VA2SIB | SO LP ALL | 10m was booming with radio activity, even got a few JA stations with my EFHW 'shoe string' wire! |
| VA3PC | SO LP ALL | Got caught a couple times when cqing stations with short callsigns did not have a space before they dropped their carrier. 73 all |
| VA3SB | SO LP ALL | Always one of my favourite contests of the year. Thank you for all the Qs. 73 Serge VA3SB |
| VA6RCN | SO LP ALL | Many thanks to VE3KI for teaching me how to hook up the new IC7410 with N1MM. It made the difference |
| VE2EZD | SO HP ALL | FT-950, AL-811H, AT2K, DIGI Keyer II 80m dipole, 40m FW horizontal delta loop |
| VE3KTB | MSH | Father/son team. Conditions were very good allowing us to have our best result ever. Also had the opportunity to introduce VA3LML's YL to amateur radio, RTTY, and contesting! |
| VE3NZ | SO HP 10M | Wow! 10 mtr is really waking up... and as usual, it is the first million the hardest to make. There was fantastic participation in all corners of the globe. These were the highlites for me: VK4SN, KH6CJJ, KH6ZM, HP1ELV, LU7HN, PY2CX, CE3GRU, TI3DK, XE1CL, TA4/OH2KW, C37N, A65DR, ZD7BG, V55Y, TG9ADQ, CX2AQ, P3AA, RG9A, T77C, TF3T, J42R, OX3LX, CB3E, VK4ZP, ZL4NR, ZL3P, YJ0A, 4D3X, KL7ICW, KL7SB, AL2F, RA0FLP, BA4TB, JM7OLW, 4U1WB, and more. Sunday late afternoon was a bit slow, but in the evening the band opened up again for AS. When 7L4IOU skimmer picked up my CQ I knew I was in business. In the last minute of the contest - bang-, BH2RO called and pushed my score over 1 million. (that was my target) Mni thanks for the QSOz. I am sorry for asking so much repeats, I am immersed in the city noise of Toronto. Maybe I could use a low noise LFA Yagi. This CQWPX has been a tons of fun. Best 73' Ben VE3NZ |
| VE3SS | SO HP ALL | Part time effort between family functions. Lots of stations to work. Lots of fun. 73 Ted VE3SS |
| VE6SYD | SO LP ALL | First license 01-2022 01-2022 |
| VE6TN | SO LP ALL | Watched a couple of videos about RTTY contesting with SO2R with N1MM. I tried some of K9CT's suggestions and learned a lot about working 2 radios. Only a partial effort because I had a lot of other duties over this weekend. But this was fun for sure! |
| VE7BGP | SO LP ALL | I had a lot of fun operating in the limited amount of time I had to operate. I found using the 500 Hz roofing filter helped when I was running making it easier to copy marginal stations |
| VL2N | SO HP ALL | Just one hour of play |
| W1PR | SO HP ALL | Sending QSO number only once makes receiving errors more likely. Please send numbers twice. Big gun stations have no idea what the little pistols have for QRM, QSB, etc that can cause one digit to be unknowingly mis-copied |
| W3FR | SO HP ALL | First license 12-2020 |
| W3GH | MM | Had big fun |
| W4EE | SO LP ALL | Fun fun fun |
| W4GHV | SO HP ALL | IC-7610 & EFHW |
| W4SKB | SO LP ALL | This contest certainly helped me iron out bugs in my RTTY system. The first day was panic. The second day was a joy |
| W5AP | SO HP ALL | Great condx nice to wk 10M for a change |
| W7BOB | SO LP ALL | Had a Lot of fun |
| W7LD | SO HP ALL | TWAS A GOOD ONE THIS YEAR! |
| W7VC | SO LP ALL | First license 12-2020 |
| W8GJK | SO HP ALL | This was the most preparation I have ever done for a contest. I had an operating plan and intended to put in the entire 36 hours, and try to grind out the highest possible score from my station. I was fed, hydrated, tuned up in the XE RTTY and sprint, and buckled in for the weekend... Unfortunately, Murphy visited 3 hours into the contest. My SPE Expert amp quit making power, and I spent the next couple hours troubleshooting it and finally being resigned to the fact that it needs service. I did connect my backup 300W amp and made some more QSO's over the evening and part of the next day, but the wind was firmly out of my sails at that point |
| W8JWN | SO HP ALL | Started slowly but propagation improved over the weekend. 10 and 15 were excellent! |
| W9DCT | SO HP ALL | First license 04-2022 Licensed in April 2022 for Rookie Category |
| WA0TXJ | SO HP ALL | Minnesota Wireless Assn |
| WA1FCN | SO LP 15M | I missed playing with Ken AB1J on Onlinescoard this year |
| WA9AFM | SO LP ALL | On Saturday, activity was modest. Suspect everyone was after the 3Y0J Bouvet Island operation |
| WB7QMR | SO LP ALL | Flex6300, Hamsticks, Skimmer, Spot |
| WD6T | SO HP 10M | Ten meter conditions were stellar. DX was plentiful (77 DXCCs worked) and the new 10 meter stack at Ken N6RO's station was a pleasure to operate. The biggest surprise was the strength of the European opening, with 322 worked. Then there was Murphy. I started the contest operating remotely, but ended up needing to drive out to the station on both days, losing a couple of critical hours |
| WF6C | SO HP 15M | QJP |
| WG1V | SO LP ALL | I really enjoyed the contest and being able to use all bands on my new hom ebrew 80-10m end-fed antenna. It was great fun and a very civilized contest |
| WO2Y | SO HP ALL | Absolutely love the WPX contests regardless of modes! CQ always provides the best contests |
| WQ6X | SO QRP ALL | This was the first WQ6X WPX RTTY GiG run with QRP Power. What made the difference was a recently installed MFJ IntelliTuner. That tuner turned the 3-el, 10-m Long John yagi into an AWEsome rotating dipole on 15-meters (and to some degree, even on 20). Needless to say, 10-meters was THE band again this year, while 20 & 15 meters were somewhat of a disappointment. Because a LoT of WEIRD things happened in the Weird Prefix GiG, the F-12 was defined to send: 'WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD' when operators would do strange things. Typical is the station who walks all over everybody to get thru, then when I send them a report, they disappear. HuH? Wazzat all about? Read more about this GiG at: http://WQ6X.Blogspot.com |
