M3RSO LP ALLEnjoyed the struggle and challenge. Hope to see all next year
MW6MSO LP ALLI enjoyed the contests despite Storm Ciara playing havoc with my antennas
MW9WSO LP 20MThe UK was hit by storm Ciara this weekend which made things interesting! Lost my 160m and 80m wires so it was a good job I had planned on 20m only.

N6HISO QRP ALLRan QRP, ONE HALF WATT to a 20 Foot End Fed Wire. Conditions seemed about the same as last year. My hearty congrats and THANKS to all for your patience. Most of you copied the exchange perfectly on the first try, with repeats rare, a testament to your stations and your skills! My goal was to make more contacts than last year, and I made exactly 1 more contact that last year. Real Progress. GO ARIZONA OUTLAWS! 73 John N6HI

NP3VSO LP ALLtnx wpx rtty !73
NX6TSO HP ALLThis was another last-minute remote operation of NX6T in Fallbrook. I could find no one to make it a Multi-2 GiG so I dialed the Expert-1.5k amplifier back to around 775 watts for Full-Duty RTTY operation. Internet latency was often a problem. At one point the whole remote connection to VNC viewer died while the Elecraft K3/0 remained. It's frustrating to hear a pileup calling me and I can't respond back. Turns out, a resident on the hill turned off the wrong circuit breaker. During the 1/2 hour down time, I found time to add to the WQ6X log, running in Concord. Band condx. were quite GooD all weekend. 20 meters was the band that never produced that is until Sunday when frequency running and S&P operation turned it into the ToP Band. LooK for more info about this GiG at
