NG1RSO LP 15MThanks for the contacts. Thank you for sponsoring the contest. Thanks to Roger - NG1R for the use of his callsign for this contest. 73, Dan - W1QK
NG6OSO LP 40MDecided to go with 40m after a slow start on Friday with 10/15/20. Fun most of the time
NM2KSO LP ALLWhole contest by remote operation
NN6USO LP ALLFirst license 06-2020 First licensed 06-2020. There were serial number issues between N3FJP and fldigi. I caught it most of the time, but in a few cases missed it before making the next QSO. This log has all numbers correct as sent over the air, but my numbers 020 029 098 were given out twice. Sorry if that confuses the automatic log checking
NN8UUSO LP ALLSorry I couldn't spend more time
NQ4JSO HP ALLGlad I was home to enjoy the great conditions for WPX RTTY this year. I just finished getting a new tower and beam up. I have not had a HF beam since I was in high school.. Just got the StepIR Urban Beam auto tracking working before the contest. I worked about 4 hours short of the 30 allowed. This is the best score I have ever had in WPX RTTY. I had four other members of our local PVRC chapter operating in the contest. We all used the online score board. I did take some extra time off to help another chapter member to get online score board working. Looking forward to ARRL DX next weekend and the NAQP RTTY coming up
NR2CSO HP ALLAll was going wonderfully (after I discovered that my sound input was the mic on my webcam vs the USB sound card) all through Friday night and Saturday. Then, Saturday night, I switched to 40M and found an untunable Mosley PRO67-C-3 !! Running only 500 watts, I had once again melted a trap. I was soooooooo frustrated, I shut everything down and gave up. Come spring, someone will be offered a great deal on a nearly new antenna
NW6PMMExcellent High bands conditions! Once again, thanks to Tom, NW6P for providing his excellent station and to Bill W9KKN for his fantastic help in setting up the radios and his assitance during the contest!

OK7WSO HP ALLWe have huge 4x6el H antenna for 10m on our OL7M QTH (https://www.youtube.com/embed/eTDvzJSJ0jc), but unfornutanelly it was broken/disconnected by the wind for many years now. Luckily, just a few miutes before friday night I was able to fix it and connect it. And it was worth of it - because the 10m was amazing - very nice openings after mny ears :-), that was the highlith of this contest. The bad think about this test was my stupidity - I forgot that the RTTY part of WPX only have 30 hours of operation. I have figured out this rule thanks to Pavel OK1MU at sunday night, after 34 hours of operation :). So the strategy was not optimal and I am sorry for sending such incomparable numbers to online score. Thanks to OK1MU, OK2ZAW and QRO.CZ hamshop for all the complicated 2BSIQ technical solutions. MNY TNX to all the stations for lots of Qso's, see you in next contest, probably the ARRL CW next weekend. 73, Standa OK7W - OK1CID
