KX3HSO LP ALLJust a few hours here and there
KX7LSO HP ALLOriginally, I was going to make this a night-time, 80m only attempt. Then a snow storm blew in, dumping a foot of snow on us Saturday. So I might as well play on the radio! Conditions seemed pretty good, even got a few QSO's in on 15. Activity on 80 definitely seemed better than in recent years. My best score since 2014. Thanks for all the Q's!
KY2NSO HP 20MGreat activity wish I had more time to operate
KZ0USSO HP ALLI used my club call, KZ0US, which is the United States Contesting Association. Conditions were really good on Sunday. Had a great time. BUT had 60 DUPES! Must be folks using just a radio, and sending RTTY with a just a keyboard or a CW paddle for rigs that do that. I ran un-assisted this year which was a bit of a challenge, but added to the excitement of the hunt. I did have 1600 Qs this time which is a high for me. Just ran a dipole on 80 and 40 meters. A tri-band Yagi on 15 and 20. I did run SO2R (Icom IC-7610 and IC-7600) and 1500 watts out of homebrew amplifiers

LU5VVSO HP ALLAS USUAL VRY NICE CONTEST NOT GOOD CONDX YESYERDAY BUT BETTER TODAY
LX7ISO HP 20MCQ WPX RTTY 2021 in the books! This time only SO20m HP Classic. LX7I is going throgh a huge overhaul process plus COVID-19 conditions made it impossible to run a Multi-OP effort. I decided to give it a try on 20m and I am happy with the result. Without classic (24h rule) DX Cluster and 3-4 more hours of operating I guess 1500 QSOs would have been possible. Thanks to Philippe puting this wonderful station together. Thanks to all the callers and sorry for the ones I could not dig out of the noise. 73 Helmut

N2HMMSO HP ALLBroke my old score by 1.1M points. Not bad from a valley QTH
N2OGSO LP ALLResubmitted log with my Club noted
N4CWSO HP ALLThat was fun! Three ATNO for RTTY, OD, VU2, and 9G....wow! No complaints, just lots of praise for all the ops who were disciplined and waited their turns as well as sticking to getting a complete exchange until it got done. When checking a vacant frequency with a 'QRL?', getting a response when it was busy and none when vacant really made the contest 'play'! My thanks to all who made it possible...good operating, y'all. 73, Bert, N4CW
N4FWDSO LP ALLFirst time trying a RTTY contest
N4QSSO HP ALLIt was my first time to operate my KY station remotely from Florida

N5PUSO HP ALLLots of fun! Wish I could of stayed in longer
N6HISO QRP ALLRan QRP, just ONE HALF WATT to a 20 foot end fed wire. This was a part-time on and off operation, using only the IC-705 built-in decoding and messages for RTTY, no PC. I think I am about ready now to try RTTY from a summit! I think I likely missed some of the best band openings. I managed a handful of contacts on 15 meters, but most signals there were much weaker than the signals on 20m. Most contacts were completed with a quick exchange, but occassionally repeats were needed. Thanks for your patience with my QRP, and most of all, thanks for the RTTY QSOs! GO ARIZONA OUTLAWS! 73, John N6HI
N6QEK/KL7SO HP ALLPlease wait for the exchange before calling CQ. It is rude to unkey only to hear the station you just worked already calling CQ
