| KK5OQ | SO LP ALL | thought we had 7 days to submit. use as checklog thanks |
| KK6P | SO HP ALL | I sure made use of the flutter profiles this year. I ran 2Tone for the first time in a couple years (I had computer crashes with it a couple years ago and never trusted it,) but was very happy this year. Mults were down a touch from last year, but the Q count was up to make up for it. Never got a strong EU run on 20 (40%), but it was great to see 10 strong, and 15 and 80, oddly, made up for it. 40 was where it was last year. See you in NAQP |
| KK7A | SO QRP ALL | Nice to see 10m open. The signs of the times to come. Thanks for all the good ears listening for the QRP stations. 73, Jim - KK7A |
| KL2ZZ | SO HP ALL | 072 is a busted call. Clicked the wrong string in fldigi - I have spent too much time with FT8 and WSJT-X doing all of my logging for me, and was not paying enough attention! |
| KN6MYI | SO HP ALL | First time operating CQ WPX RTTY. Focused on trying to get DX for DXCC. Had a lot of fun! |
| KO4ENU | SO LP ALL | FIRST TIME WORKING THIS CONTEST AND HAD A GREAT TIME! 73 ....Thank you for hosting |
| KO4NIK | SO LP ALL | Rookie overlay: License Grant Date: 3/1/2021 |
| KX7L | SO LP ALL | Friday night seemed kinda quiet on 40 and 80 here. Saturday was a bit better. NIce to hear 10m open, though activity was limited there. Thanks for the QSO's! |
| KZ0US | SO LP ALL | I'm happy with the results for just using a ground mounted veritcal (Hy-Gain 14AVQ) and a low sloping dipole for 40 and 80 meters from a new QTH in the city |
| LA4NL | SO LP ALL | YAESU FT2000 - VERTICAL BUTTERNUTT - SIGNALINK USB MODEM - RCKLOG PROG RAM. EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE TROUBLE AND BAD CONDS,BUT RTTY IS ALWAYS FUN |
| LA9RY | SO LP ALL | First RTTY contest with my new SunSDR2DX. Worked great, but I miss FSK. Operated family mode |

| LZ2JA | SO LP 20M | Rig: IC-7300 100 W Ant: OB16-3 |
| M0BLF | SO LP 15M | Great to see 15m in such good shape! Just using a vertical dipole. Thanks for the QSOs |
| M0IPU | SO LP ALL | M0IPU DX nodes: dxs.ddns.net:7300 arc6.ddns.net:7373 dxnode.ddns.net:8888 |
| M0LKW | SO LP ALL | First Licensed 6th August 2020 |
| M0NPK | SO HP ALL | Only managed a few hours but thanks for the QSO's |
| M0UNI | SO HP 40M | Great fun as always Thanks to all involved |
| M2J | SO HP ALL | Mostly 100W but as I was not a full time entry this time I used the occasional QRO for some of the difficult ones! Hope conditions are better next year |
| M4C | SO QRP 20M | Only on for a few hours to give points away - good fun |
| MI4I | SO LP ALL | Bands in good condition and even 10m well open to SA |
| MM7BWK | SO QRP ALL | Icom 705 - 30m random wire at 12m |
| N0MHL | SO LP ALL | Check-Log only. Software was not providing the correct serial number on at least 4 occasions, so I quit rather than mess up any more Q's. Examples include giving N4IQ a 53 when it should have been 54. LU5DF a 49 and should have been 50. There were also errors around 37 or 38 and around number 23 as well. Probably two station errors on the last two for a total of four errors and a total of six errors overall. Sorry, I was unable to go back and retrieve those first few errors to give you the exact information |
| N1RR | MM | N1RR M/M entry.N1MM software failed to provide individual band QSO NR |
| N3AML | SO LP ALL | 12/15/2020- tech 3/2021 general |
| N3FR | SO LP ALL | Fantastic contest! Been a long time since I operated RTTY, and had a blast! Beat my all time high score! Already looking forward to next time! Bob, N3FR |
| N4CW | SO HP ALL | Off to a bad start after experiencing problems with software, but eventually got them fixed. This is such a relaxed contest (for me!). Thanks for the Q's. 73 |
| N4FWD | SO LP ALL | The bands were unexpectedly open. 80 Mtrs and 15 Mtrs were great |
| N5JGE | SO LP ALL | 7/23/2020 |
| N6DW | SO HP ALL | Only had a couple of hours |
| N6HI | SO QRP ALL | QRP, just ONE HALF WATT to a 20 Foot End Fed Wire, tossed into a tree out my window. My only station antenna. Non-assisted, no QSO finding assistance, internet or other. Used the rigs built-in RTTY decoding & message macros, no computer or software was utilized for RTTY xmit or rcv. Band conditions were better than last year, I was kept pretty busy on the high bands, so spent little time on 40m, and no time at all on 80m. 10 meters was SO exciting that I likely spent more time there than I should have! What fun! There just ain't no meters like ten meters! My goal was to better my last years results, which I did. I admit to having some serial # generation issues, please accept my apologies for any inadvertent errors I sent. My hearty congrats and THANKS to all for your patience! Most copied my 1/2W exchange perfectly, with only occasional repeats required, a testament to your stations and your skills!

| N6QQ | SO HP ALL | Why did the bands go dead at 3:00 pm LAX time ?? |
| N6RV | SO HP ALL | Thanks! |
| N7CKJ | SO LP 20M | Worked from an HOA, with the Ham Stick on my pickup. Good times! |
| N7DB | SO LP ALL | Was not planning to be on for this one as shack is not heated. Unusually warm here for February with temperatures in mid-60's F |
| N7VS | SO LP ALL | I apologize for not being able to devote more time this year |
| N7WY | SO HP ALL | FTdx-101mp, alpha 87a, KT36xa 20 m up, 40M2L on 40, inv Vee 80 m |
| N8URE | SO QRP 20M | RS-HFIQ radio and indoor full-wave loop antenna for 20m |
| N9TF | SO LP ALL | A personal best in score and in butt-in-chair time! All accomplished with less than 100 watts, and 130' of wire and gutters 17'above ground at the apex! Tough to get a run going on any band when most of the RF on the wire and gutters is burning a hole in the ground! Was surprised to work as many different (41) DX entities with less than optimum station conditions. Also hard to tell what band propagation was really like, hi hi. Just moved to new QTH in TN from IL, and have not had a chance yet to put up any antennas. Made more contacts than I thought I would make, especially DX. The wire worked great on 15 and 40 for DX. Mostly stateside on 20m. Happy to see some activity on 10 as well. Had lots of fun in this one even if my rates were poor and I had to mostly S&P my way up and down the bands, and take a number when fresh meat showed up!! 73 and thanks for a fun contest. Gene, N9TF Clarksville, TN. Rig, K3S 100 Watts, ran 75 watts RTTY. Antenna, 160m dipole made with 130' of 14ga wire strung between house and shed roof, and shield tied to 120' of continuous connected house gutter system |
| N9VPV | SO LP ALL | Kenwood TS-2000, Alpha-Delta DXCC dipole @ 25ft 100 Watts and a Wire ! |
| NA2NY | SO LP ALL | Just a easy effort, 100W and an 260ft INV |
| NA4DA | SO HP ALL | Part Time |

| NE3R | SO LP 20M | I always enjoy making a few contacts in this contest - one of these days I'll be able to really dedicate an entire weekend to it |

| NG6O | SO LP 40M | Limited Time Effort Friday Night. Testing 40m Antenna |
| NG7M | SO HP ALL | When calling CQ, I had a lot more callers send their exchange when calling me. A trend I speculate coming from uneducated FT mode operators. It was painful. If I didn't get their serial number they would usually be gone, not to mention just screw up the rhythm of running stations. Plus, this would add QRM to other (smart) tail end callers that I could have stacked for quicker Qs chained together. All in all, I hope this trend doesn't continue. FT mode operating leading others to different modes is a good thing, but this was just painful at times. I confirmed a lot of other stations had the same issue on the groups.io RTTY group. That discussion also leads into stations not sending the signal report. Always something... :) Max NG7M |
