| LN1K | M2 | We had some problems with serial numbers when we changed from 20M band to 10M band in the morning on sunday 2025_02_09. This was between 0801 to 0904 UTC. the first contact was JH9CEN and the last was 7S9A. The sequence continiued from the serial numbers of the 20M band instead of continuing the serial numbers of the 10M band. Sorry for the inconviniece |
| LN5O | SO HP ALL | setup was Writelog + microham interface for RTTY + 2x Yaesu FTdx5000MP limited. Wire antennas on citylot |
| LU2PWY | SO LP 10M | First license 02-2024. Very nice contest, my first RTTY WPX. Saturday morning propagation played a trick on us from South America with Europe but recovering in the afternoon with North America. The homemade rtty interface worked without problems |
| LY5DX | SO LP ALL | FIRST LICENSED AUGUST 29, 2024 2024-08-29 |
| LY5W | SO LP 20M | Happy to break new Lithuanian Record and all time EU 3rd score. Almost same score as YL73R - 1 QSO difference. EU-EU is 2 points, we worked over 600 prefix x 2 = 1200 POINTS ! |
| LZ2XA | SO HP ALL | Flex 6400 Antennas: Dipole , Vertical |
| M0GQT | SO LP ALL | Thanks for hosting the contest |
| M0RIZ | SO LP 20M | First license 03-2024 |
| M1PTR | SO LP ALL | Its was good to work so many familiar callsigns on RTTY rather than SSB |
| M2J | SO HP ALL | K3, SSPA, 180W, TA31Jr Dipole @ 9M |
| M2O | SO HP 20M | 350w dipole @8m |
| M4N | SO LP ALL | FLEX6400 to Doublet using SDC by UT4LW |
| M5M | SO LP ALL | Conditions seemed poor on 20/15/10 Saturday and also 80 on Sunday evening with lots of QSB and poor decodes. I'm sure the honeydo's rate exceeded the scoring rate at times. No 40m antenna which restricted things somewhat |
| M7V | SO LP ALL | Only 10, 15, 20M bands. Cobweb at 9M, K3, P3, MicroHam MKII. MixW 3 |
| ME0MPM | SO LP ALL | Used optional 'E' in prefix : ME = England |
| MM0C | SO LP ALL | FLEX6600M Antennas: ALPHA DELTA DX-LB |
| MM1E | SO HP ALL | Another good test of my remote contest station setup Thanks for all the Q's 73 Gordon MM0GOR MM1E |
| MW1B | SO QRP 15M | gave this my best shot from my 800m mountain top VHF site with clear 360deg view and superb ground fall below. V cold,but my ex army sleeping bag with arms is perfect for this,inside another for extra warm on my legs.Superb incoming signals but QRM both sides made it hard to hear and be heard. Kept getting pushed aside.QRT early as wind was getting bit hairy and hard to turn the moxon/keep it where I wanted it |
| MW9W | SO LP ALL | Well this year goes down as a classic 'faux-pas' for me. Never made a mistake like this before but I was having so much fun I forgot the 30 hour rule and operated for 36 hours. Oh how I laughed when I realised this...NOT! Still here is my log in all its glory. Guess I won't make that mistake again... Maybe! RTTY is always fun, see you all in the next one. 73 Ian |
| N1NN | SO LP ALL | 1ST CQ WPX RTTY CONTEST |
| N3FR | SO LP ALL | Great contest with fantastic activity! Bands were pretty well behaved. The most important part is that I beat my score from last year by about 400K points! No beam last year, A4S this year! Thanks to CQ for your support, as this is an absolutely stellar contest! Thanks to all the fine ops for the contacts! You're a great bunch! Best 73's, Bob, N3FR nnnn |
| N4IW | SO LP ALL | I was on for a little while on Friday night and did what I could on 20 and 40 meters. I got up pretty early on Saturday but not early enough for the European sunrise. Things were pretty quiet on 40 and 80 until about 5. I tried to stay on 40 as long as I could for the extra points. I had an unusual amount of time available on Saturday for radio, which was fun. I did a little Running but I think my time is generally better spent on S&P with my puny station. Plus, I never got comfortable with the Running process so I obviously need to practice more. On Sunday I added a few points in the afternoon before kind of zoning out and making mistakes so I knew it was time to quit. It looked like our club was well out in front, so that?s cool! Thanks for the Qs |
| N4JN | SO LP ALL | I finally got N1MM, MMTTY, and the TS-590 all playing nice with one another in the last half of the test. I am contesting on RTTY again. Woot! |
| N4MCC | SO LP ALL | Great contest!! |
| N6HI | SO QRP ALL | Ran QRP to a 20-Foot End-Fed Wire. Most QSOs used a Half Watt, but a few QSOs were made with 'a full 5 Watts'. Lots of good DX, especially on 10m. Tnx for your patience and the QSOs. Go Arizona Outlaws! -73- John N6HI |
| N7BBQ | SO LP ALL | First license 03-2022. My first RTTY contest and first RTTY contacts ever! What a blast! IC-7300 @ 50W, 57' EFRW, PSK Express and N3FJP CQ WPX Logger |
| N7JI | SO QRP ALL | Also applicable: TB-Wires (no tribanders, just wire antennas) |
| N8HRZ | SO HP ALL | Antennas: |
| N8RGA | SO HP ALL | Amp died after a few hours. Remainder done at LP |
| N9OK | SO HP ALL | Conditions were good but not great. Still learning the Flex so that slowed me down a little. Also had some issues with N1MM doing funky stuff - many comments on N1MM reflector about issues. Missed my goal of 1000 Q's by a little but hit my goal of 1M points, which was exciting for me. I really enjoy RTTY, and this contest where you can work everone is great! About 10 or so Q's were accidentally in the phone portion of the band. Fortunately someone alerted me shortly after I started. Flex 6500, IC-PW1, Hytower |
| N9VPV | SO LP 10M | Didn't get started till 1500z on the 8th and was called away from the contest 11 minutes later |

| NG1R | SO LP 15M | Thank you for the RTTY contacts. Thanks to the WWROF for sponsoring the contest and processing the logs. 73- Dan, NG1R |
| NN8UU | SO LP 15M | Remote from FL. Used no audio just tuned via the XY display |
| NQ4J | SO LP ALL | Worked all remote while at Hamcation Orlando |
| NR4M | MM | Well, this was sure different. I almost never do this contest because it's the week before ARRL DX CW, and I don't want to break something and have not much time to fix it. This time, from the beginning, it was my intent to get as many 'newbies' involved as it could. This would include those who have operated RTTY before, but from a very modest station, those with NO RTTY experience at all, those with very little to NO HF operating experience at all. I got some of each to go along with some of the regular guys. Prior to this contest, on two occasions myself and others, mentored the inexperienced ops here at the GF station. I mean, you should at least be familiar with the point of it all! Some wound up not being able to join in due to the flu bug going around, and a couple of others dealing with life's priorities changing for them. The final outcome was never really a driving force this time. I wanted all the 'newbies' to have a great time and remember this event fondly in the future. Still working around some equipment failures and antenna issues. The WX has not been our friend here lately. I think everyone ate well and did have a good time, so I'll chalk this one up as a success! Thanks for all the Q's 73 de Steve NR4M |
| NU4Y | SO HP 40M | Using vertical with 4 elevated wires. 1st time using the FTdx10 on rtty with FSK. Seemed to work ok, running about 900 watts sometime only 250 watts, Lost 2 of 3 tubes. ( that part no fun ). Only heard a couple of callers not copied. ( very sorry about that ). Operating time under 17 hours, wire antenna, over 50 ( for sure ), everything in shack is not only Classic, but OLD. Thanks to all, had fun |
