Great contest from FG46SM ..El Bunker !!
Happy to see old operators but new in contest doing it good on air, that mean
that we could have more contest operators.
We MUST to improve our low bands antennas, we hope before CQWW to have a yagi
for 40 mts.

I was informed few days before the contest that Hrane YT1AD won't be able make
it to Tunisia for a SO operation and I had few time to make new plans..
Decision to go for an HP operation was taking few hours prior to contest start.
My favorite category was always SOAB-LP but imagining the QRM in such events led
me to HP!
The challenge I set for me was to make same/better than Hrane's last year score
of 15m points and be first in Africa. Writing the objectives in a sheet of paper
placed in front of me is always positive!
The set-up still need improvement here in terms of automation and ergonomics; I
used a couple FT-870 with an amplifier lined up on the RUN station. No filters
were available but RFI to the MULT station was really negligeable.
The first hours was terrible with only 55 QSOs on 20 and 40. European QRM wall
made it impossible to work on low bands or even to find a relatively clear
QRG... Splatter signals were all over the bands, the CC may need to do more
here.
High bands were in good shape but not as good as expected. My operating hours
were scheduled based on my rest obligations rather than 6-Point-bands openings.
However, I pushed hard to get the maximum out of them.
I'm happy that I could manage - and for the first time ever - to stick to the
pre-defined operating plan as a learnt lesson from my previous operations.
I started using the second radio late on Saturday afternoon and that brought
Twenty three valuable mults to the score. Moves were quicker and more efficient
this time.
Thanks to EVERYONE for the Qs!!

Interesting propagation all week-end long. Used three yagi's as follows:
innovantenna LFA 2-element - Fixed SA
Innovantenna LFA 3-element - Fixed EU (rotated to NA at EU sunset)
Force 12 C3 - rotable
The LFA along with my location on the east of the island gave me a pipeline
into EU. It also felt like propagation was bad to NA in any event and it was
very noisy in that direction.
Was short of my target by a couple hundred thousand points and 600 Q's short of
my plan. This was made up by a decent number of prefises worked and the high
number of three-pointers (EU, SA) worked. Normally EU isn't so good and I have
to depend on NA to make up the numbers.
Running LP is always a challenge and it was difficult getting decent runs
goingbefore one of those 5KW stations to the east and south of me stole away
the frequency.
This shows the breakdown of where my Q's were made:
160M 80M 40M 20M 15M 10M Total %
OC 0 0 0 0 0 16 16 1.1

Conditions were amazing and truly unforgettable. Unfortunately, for me, it did
not translate into a great score as I was down from the last two years.
The great propagation required more strategy adjustment than I anticipated. I
did start on 10 for the first time ever, and had over 340 Q's there the first
night. However, I did not plan for the lowbands to be as unproductive as they
were, and it was surprisingly hard to generate rate in the morning toward
Europe.
Despite the score being down, I will never forget running JA at 930PM local
time on 10 and working Europe on 15 right up the end of the contest.
Thanks to everyone for the Q's and thanks to the sponsors for making this fun
event possible

For the first time we have enough number of experienced operators for good
participation in MM SSB entry.
But Mr Murphy had another plans. At begining of the contest some problems with
40m PA and its antenna tower caused our work until Saturday morning hours more
LP then HP on that band.
But that was the first step. Situation became worse when 15m and 10m being
opened. Heavy periodical local QRM on all bands started.Such situation we had
never. As the first step we stopped transmission on 160, then 80 and then on 40
meters. Situation became a little better.
On Saturday afternoon operation on low bands was close connected with local
interference we had. When 15 was closed situation became much better. We can
say normal for low bands operation. In Sunday mornig became worse again . The
biggest source of the problem we found in late Sunday afternoon.
Our all antenna towers are guy wired type. We noticed on the tower, where are
15M stacks, one upper guy wire was touching director of upper 15M antenna stack
JA direction and causing sparking which is not visible during day time!
Until that time we spent almost 40 hours of the contest. Temporary fixing of
the problem which was on 30 meters above ground level eliminated all QRM.
Final result was to be QRT on 160 and 80M a few hours more then usual, but on
40M we were QRT almost 11 hours, and we lost of significant number of QSOs on
20,15 and 10M with stations who had week signals.Surely some MULTS were lost
too.
As consequence, after more then 20 years of this antenna towers use, a new
lession learned.
All guy wires and antenna systems must be under inspection at least 5 days
before contest, to have enough time to make eventual problem fixed.
In spite of those problems atmosphere within team reamined excellent. During
contest we had a nice social event with nice meat including huge grill, and
beer & wine added.
Finaly we broke from Y2000 our 9A MM record.
Thanks to all who called us. See you in CW leg

What a weekend :)
Finally a contest where nothing went wrong or to put it in different words a
contest where everything went right and conditions like never before :)
This was my first serious try in SO AB category. So far I have always worked
Single band category, not because I don't like working at all band but because
I have never so far had a good setup for it.Since the very beginning I felt
like it was going to be a winning situation and like I was going to make good
results, however 15M I did not expect.
Given the fact that I do not have much experience in AB category, the biggest
problem was when to make a break considering it was going pretty good all the
time. So I decided to work as much as possible USA and the next day I wanted to
concentrate on 2nd radio and work some EUs prefixes. I think this was a good
tactic based on livescore table. The following day I jumped over one after
another. Probably I could do better score in total if I spent little more time
working East on High bands and some EUs on Lows, but it was easier to copy # on
clear QRG instead on crowded one on 40m. Howewer, this result is 7 Milion above
current 9A reccord and I'm more than happy :)
9A5Y station is not quite ready for top AB contesting and there are still many
shortcomings. The complicated BAND changes has taken a lot of time (4-6 min
each time per change) and also SO2R setup is very primitive so that it was very
hard to work with 2nd station but at least now we know things we must work on in
the future.I can't even imagine the result I would have achieved if I had fully
automated station and more than 100w on the 2nd radio :)
Incredible conditions on High BANDs here, west coast on high bands sounds like
a local's here :)

Thanks to all teams for posting out scores on cqcontest.net.
We believe 5 out of 6 top scores in EU M/S was in fantastic online race. We
expected more teams to be in closer fight (specialy SJ2W and IR4M) but they

Part-time effort. I worked very few USA stations (on purpose). I can't
remember a time since I've lived in CO when 10m (and 15m) was open so late to
the east. When I worked LA3S on 10m Sunday around 2000z, he said it had
already been dark there for several hours.
A lot of stations had trouble copying my serial #, I think it was more the QRM
than my weak signal. I got several really good signal reports from Europe on
15m Sunday afternoon (at first I thought they were joking). As Yogi Berra
might say, no one contests on 15 meters any more, it's too crowded.

Conditions were excellent, so much so that 15m was spilling over the top with
most stations on top of one another causing a lot of QRM. This made it tough
for anyone trying to hear 100w and wet piece of string. Eventually figured out
10m was a lot quieter with more room to spread out and easier to get heard.
It was good to hear a few new ones A7, A6 and 9K, too feint for me to work but
at least I know they're really out there now. Instead happy with 5W, OX, ZF,
UA2, 9M2 - thanks Rich and VP2E for ATNOs. Working 9M2 just as the sun was
setting in CA after a number of failed attempts on 20 and 15 was the highlight,
it only took 20minutes to go from 33 to 57 to gone.
After realizing it was tough being heard, switched from trying to working
everything to only working band fills, new ones - well obviously - and US
stations for ARRL QP pts. Watched for spots on worked W1AW/1 and TX6G on WARC
bands - it's a bit easier when the attention of the masses is elsewhere :D
The flare's impact on 15m was severe, I wasn't on at the exact time. I took a
short break to get a drink and give the ears a rest. When I came back everyone
had gone, I leant out to check the wire was still in the air and not on the
floor. But no - it was still there - so worked the few I could hear before it
came up again.
Thanks to all who dug out the call - looking forward to getting back to RTTY
and working some new ones on cw next month.

Sunspot maxima are fun!

Good news, bad news. Good news - EU was open virtually around the clock! Bad
news - EU was open virtually around the clock! Why is this bad? Because
usually EU eventually goes silent and all those US/VE stations start turning
their beams west and can hear AK! The long EU openings cost me many prefix
mults to the lower 48 because they were always working EU! Too much of a good
thing I guess.
Can't complain too much though, as this was my second best score ever. About
200,000 less points and 21 fewer mults than my 2011 score, but ran about 8.5
hours less op time. With fewer family conflicts I probably could have had my
best score ever. Oh well, C'est la vie! It will no doubt be tougher next year

This was my third time visiting the Azores, the first two trips being for CQWW
CW 2012 and CQWW SSB 2013. It was different this time, because I felt that I
arrived to a familiar locale with familiar people, routines, and places (and
car!). In addition to the station being in good shape after the ARRL contests,
this lack of the unknown made pre-contest preparations much less stressful. The
Azores is a wonderful place, and I really enjoyed visiting once again. My usual
travelogue follows, so that I can remind myself later what actually
happened...
I set a new European SOAB HP record as my target. It was not to be an easy
target, with the current high of 20.4M having been set by Emir E7DX/E77DX in
the record-breaking year 2011. Accordingly, I devised an operating plan that
took into account the peculiar WPX scoring system and my one-point EU location
in the middle of the Atlantic. In other words, double-pointer low-band
operation was going to be really tough because of distance, the EU QRM wall,
and "everybody" enjoying the post-sunset high bands anyway. The real
strides thus had to be made by maximizing the number of DX (NA) on the high
bands, while still getting all needed EU multipliers. To add into the mix I
also had no receive antenna for 80m.
With those parameters in place, I went on 40m half an hour before the contest
started to find a good spot. I found one, proceeded with making QSOs, was
getting 59+ reports from both EU and NA, and felt good! So imagine my surprise
when a Central European M/M parks less than 1 kHz above just minutes before it
all starts, with the operator probably being scared to lose face in his team if
he doesn't find a spot to call CQ on. Add to that another station that strangely
starts rattling off numbers less than 1 kHz below me. Neither pretended to hear
my QSY requests, despite their 59+ signals and my received 59+ reports from
others in their regions.
So frankly, please somebody tell me what it takes to keep a frequency on 40m in
the worst heat, because obviously 2 x 2el, 1.5 kW, and common courtesy aren't
enough...! And while you're at it, could you also tell me how I can best deal
with SSB contest splatter during the moments I think I'm literally going insane
:)
Anyway, 20m and 15m were boiling, so after some 10 slow QSOs on 40m I move
there and am off to a nice start. The high bands were in really good shape all
weekend, and I was surprised to work stations from the Far East very late in my
local evenings. I had anticipated working only a few JA stations (and
multipliers), so the coolest thing was an interesting short-path JA opening on
15m on Sunday evening local time. The good band conditions are also partially
problematic for the Azores: NA and EU are both pointing their beams at each
other and you are caught in the middle of this "highway" at a
suitable skip to both, and thus at times the bands sound like QRM walls. The
bands were very crowded, so a good number of stations must have been on the
air.
I've often had problems with the prolonged contest use of headphones, with my
earlobes becoming sore and the situation easily developing into an ear
inflammation (I seem to be a late bloomer, doesn't everybody get those only as
small kids?). Toni OH2UA suggested a solution involving around-the-ear Bose
headphones combined with a specially attached boom microphone, and this was my
second SSB contest using his solution after having assembled it. Wonderful, my
ears are happy! The weather was stormy and rainy all weekend, but fortunately I
only got some S9+ static problems for 10-15 minutes on Sunday evening. The storm
continued today with high winds, and it's saying something when you have to use
serious force to pry the hamshack door open.
The end result is a new claimed EU record, but I was shooting for more margin
(21.5M). I was ahead of my target curve when I started my final break on
Sunday, but things just didn't take off as I had expected in the afternoon.
Also, my targeted pts/Q was 3.18 but I ended up with only 2.72, consistent with
not reaching my low-band targets. That in turn is perhaps a combination of my
psychological low-band SSB splatter abhorrence and the lack of regular workable
stations there due to good high-band conditions. I can now afford -3.6% during
the log check, so we'll see! Anyway, this was a lot of fun. I've put some
statistics below. Live scoring and audio/video streaming were in action as
usual.
Thanks to the entire Radio Arcala team for making this operation possible. In
particular, my appreciation goes to Juha OH8NC and Martti OH2BH for their
special support, and to Toni OH2UA for station engineering. Thanks to José

Another participation from de CT3 Madeira Contest Team.
We had some problems in the begining of the contest on 40 meters.We had to stop
the station to repair the Amplifier and the Stackmacth. This took almost 3 hours
to repair so 40m operation was compromised for the first night.
However we had a good opening on 10m and all the hight bands.
Thanks to all participants specially to all the ones who contact us during the
contest and to all who spotted us on the cluster, that is really a great help.
CU all in the next one.

Wow what a weekend, great contest.
Great condition right at the begining of contest, but was too tired to be up
all night, stay up until 2h30, then whent for a rest.
Finished 1st day with about 2500 QSO, then decided to go to sleep to meet the
36 hours rule(bad decision). Sunday started very slowly and by midday only
another 300 QSO were in the log.Then conditions started to slowly improve.
I apolagize to the stations i didn't ear sunday afternoon, but S-9 rain static
didn't allow me to ear ...fortunatly only for about 30 minutes.
Worked JA's just about every hour of the day with great signals
Target was 4000 Q's and 1300 mults, and I almost did it, passed European
record, lets hope by enough margin to keep it.
Thanks to all who called, see you in the next one....on 15 meters

This time we have two new operators: Pablo CX7ACH and Wilder CX6DRA. With Leo
CX3AL, Alvaro CX4SS, Carlos CX5CBA and me completing the Team.
Weather was very bad, too much raining, lighting and wind. We had a problem in
the 10 and 20 mts antennas rotor indicator. Conditions not good, we run mostly
in 10 and 15 mts. On other bands was very dificult to break the EU-USA wall.

The first time you never forget!
First CQWPX, first contest in 15M and above the first contest at D4C Station.
I take this opportunity to thank the whole team D4C for the great opportunity
given to me.
I think D4C is a great school, not only for amateur radio rookie like me, but
for all amateurs radio.
From Cape Verde can make connections not possible from other parts of the
planet.
Beautiful propagation, fantastic openings with JA and Pacific area .
Unfortunately, being my first time I have not been able to make the most of the
setup and the potential of the location. Given the lack of experience, i made
a few mistakes and has compromised the final score.
I came back home in Italy with a great memory of this experience that taught me
so many things and i've already longing for those hours.
I think at home we're all good operators, but when you're at D4C... it really
shows who has the numbers!
Just look at the results of I4UFH in CQWPX 15M in 2012 and IZ4DPV in this WPX
2014 10M.
I wanted to thank in particular IZ4DPV for taking me with him to D4 and taught
me so many things.

Hi @ all WPX Contesters!
First of all: many thanks to Tom, DK3EE for the possibility to use his fine
station
for this one. As our original DA2C contest QTH has no electricity right now (we
are working on that) I asked Tom, if I can do the WPX-SSB from his station and
he agreed.
Also many thanks to him and his son Louis (DN2VHF) for giving me
moralic support and nice BBQ during the contest!
Also I want to say thank you to Frank, DL8YHR for the loan of an amplifier.
I realy did not expect the condx to be that great on 10m from DL. Long time
ago, that
I remember condx like this on 10. And maybe a long time to wait until next
time?! Who knows...
I realy had a lot of fun in this one, but also some hours of frustration,
because of
heavy QRM, splattering etc...(but this is almost the case in every SSB contest
I do)
but I keeped the butt in the chair to push the score as high as possible.
Sure a contestweekend to remember for me and I am sure many records will be
broken in this one, like
this score breaks the existing DL-record with a big margin :-)
Hope everyone had as much fun as I had and many thanks to all for the QSO!
Hear you in the next one!

Tried to use verticals for 40, 80, 160m but the GRP mast crashed after a few
QSOs. So continued with Windom instead and hexbeam for 20, 15, 10m. Far better
result than last year with same (part time) effort. Good conditions on high
bands, however, missed large parts of the openings due to family duties.

Call: DL1NX Class: SO(A)SB10 HP Total Score = 6,486,084
I should not complain of anything but 2 things keep me away to make more QSOs.
1st - Train lines interference right between SA and NA direction (230° to
320°), probably an isolator issue and got worse when the train came, sometimes
S7 noise.
2nd - Ordinary call sign, maybe if I were an unique Multiplier prefix, more
stations would come to my CQs.
Beside of that, it was an AMAZING Contest! I had a lot of fun and enjoyed as
much as possible. I could copy everywhere at anytime, all directions. Late at
night, around 22:00 UTC I was still copying some US station with 9+ but 99% of
them beamed other side or changed band.
I've worked a lot of PYs station this time and had a little chat with some of
them and even an US station that told me that I was his first QSO on 10m ever.
I spent some time explaining about the contest and I felt great about that.
I think I'm getting old and enjoying more the contest instead getting crazy to
make 200 QSOs/hour. :)
Thanks again to Robert (DL3KO) to let me use his wonderful station on 10m while
DR1D was on 80m.

During the 1st day we had to repair a lot of Murphy�'s work: one PA had a
failure and needed a repair. The coax from the Multiband Tower failed due to
water inside the cable (!!??). We had to lower the crankup tower and the coax
was replaced. While checking the balun, we found out that it is full of water
too... replaced. However, we could operate with the other antennas while
repairing. After all the repairs, the contest went on smoothly and we managed
to work the entire 2nd day without any new failures. After all it was a great
weekend, with many QSO, many prefixes, many guests at the station and great

thanks to Braco for letting us play from E77DX. The sun shone all weekend and
condx on the high bands appeared to have favoured stations to the north of

at home, so it have been a lesson to how face a contest with limited

Just 3 ops only, we couldn�'t take full potential 48h of the station with
different stations interlocked.
Our main antenna 40m is broken, we knew it would be impossible to enter in the
Top competition of EU, because we would lose many QSOs 6 points and mults in
this band. We improvised with 2 x Array vertical 40M to NA and 2 elm yagi fixed
EU, the first night bad conditions in low bands, we never get rate, we choose to
Run in 15 and 20 during the night.
At sunrise 80m good signs W6, W7 and few ZLs. 10m good opening with NA and AS
(104 JAs worked, is good number here). Maybe we had to made more interest in
10m but we listen better propagation in central europe than south area, 10m is
magic.
Problems with 40m antennas but we claimed 2 million more than last year 2013 in
same category, we are happy, we worked very hard all time.
We hope to correct problems , congratulations on the excellent results of
several stations in our category TM6M EI7M A73P UZ2M IR4M E7A SJ2W SP8R etc...
a lot of competition this year.

We're very glad to be back after antenna repairs following this winter's extreme
storms. Everything seemed to work ok but, even so, we had a very slow start.
However, things picked up as the weekend progressed with great conditions
developing on every band. 10m propagation was sometimes a bit light, but
signals came through until well after dark on both days. Sunday morning was a
real highlight for us with a fantastic 10m JA run - a very unusual event here!
We pushed our score to the live contest score server through the whole weekend
and it was very exciting watching the scores swap around. Congrats to all our
competitor friends in Europe for some great score, and thanks to everyone for
making it a really fun weekend.

Another totally phenomenal MM weekend. It makes us lose the sense of reality
having had the most incredible propagation 3 times in a row now (2xCQWW
included) enabling us take the most out of the station and the team. I guess
it
will be a real hard blow when everything returns to normal and the standard
geographical propagation laws will be restored. But we are having the fun of
our lives till this anomaly lasts and now there is nothing less to hope for
than the 27-day cycle and propagation gods will be presenting us cherry on the
cake and let us complete the magic set of 4 EU records in WPX CW.
This time we really squeezed out 100% from the situation. Station that was
thoroughly rehersed last year worked totally flawlessly (which is incredible
in
itself considering the complexity and scope of the operation) and the
operators
did everything right (finally:)). Key's to success:
- 15m monster. The effect of it continues to leave us speechless. ca 2300
US/VE
contacts and 600 JA's. Having the band open almost 48 hours for us did of
course
help as well:)
- Agressive S&P with separate S&P stations who made nearly 2000 QSOs
on
RUN bands
- Agressive QSY-ing. Finally the operators understood that we need to QSY
everyone, everywhere and always! And that gave us nearly 1000 extra QSOs.
- 2 RUN ops in parallel listening to different directions helped not to miss
the callers and reduce operator mistakes.
- Almost interference free environment (except for harmonic frequencies) thanks
to W3NQN and 4O3A filters, 4O3A triplexers and adequate antenna separation.
Having a quiet 10M band when all the other stations is transmitting is an
incredible achievement.
- ES2DW and ES2ADF well-known cooking:)
Running against the 2011 DR1A score was a great thrill. Sorry to hear that
things did not go as well at 9A1A. Good luck to all competitors in CW part and
cu then.

The goal for the weekend was 4m point as the current England record for TB wires
is just less than 3m and coming off the back of the RTTY round, if the bands
stayed in good shape I thought I could crack 4m.
Entering into the SOAB(A) TB Wires category for 36 hours using a modified KLM
KT34A Tribander @ 60ft, Inverted V Dipoles for 40/80m @ 80ft, 40m Ground plane
vertical, Inverted L for top band, K9AY RX loop with K3 and Acom 1000
amplifier.
This contest was great fun and the bands seemed good, especially HF, 160M was
quiet. Weather was good with little wind and some nice spring sunshine.
Started at around 4am on 80m with some great runs and good multi count then
working my way up, found a few runs to Far east on 15m and 10m but really
concentrated on getting a good base of WPX multis, and aiming for around 1400
qso and about 2m points by midnight, The HF bands were pretty good yielding the
base wpx mults mixed in with a few runs. Late evening I worked a few on 160m but
found 20m still buzzing so with a longish run on 20m late Saturday it gave me a
good springboard for Sunday, with the run ending at about 12:50am I decided to
get some rest.
Sunday started again at 4am on 80m and 40m with some good 6 point qso runs
before moving up the bands once again, the morning seemed average with band
space being a problem and the fact that there are so many very dirty and wide
signals, taking up space for 3 - 4 stations makes life very difficult, This
issue really needs addressing by the contest committees by way of
disqualification, no matter who the stations are !!!
Back off my soap box 10m took off just after noon with some very long and fast
runs into north America and I soon saw the score rocket past my 4m goal and on,
more long runs on 15m and 10m finally saw the 36 hours come up with a total raw
2417 QSO's, 1134 WPX and a Total raw Score of 6,258,546.
Again I think this is a great format contest bringing out some weird and
wonderful prefixes but also making a G station just as wanted as a GD / GM / GJ
etc which in other contest format is defiantly lacking, for me it feels like a
good leveller, however I think action needs to be taken against the blatant use
of very dirty signals to keep the space either side of the offenders operating
frequency clear.
Until the next one, stay safe in these great band condition times!

Our target was 28 millions points and we're fully satisfied to achieve that
success.
Some Murphy's invasions have not been enough to limit our fantastic good time
in joining this WPX's edition. Serious problems to the network caused a lot of
troubles to the log management, mostly in taking count of QSYs and mults'
check. Fired also a couple of 3-500Z :-(
Superb conditions on high bands, all saturday long, gave our numbers a real
kick up. It was not the same on sunday, with hardly limited really good runs
and the lost of a nice position against the UFB PI4DX crew: we did our best,

Started very tired because of some work commitments and some hours late in the
morning. Very good propagation on Saturday, band closed very late in the
night.
On Sunday, under more "normal" conditions, I didn't exploit the band
very well.
Difficult to find (and keep) a clear frequency because of the numerous stations
on the band.
Still fighting with tremendous splattering on the band, much coming from
Eastern EU stations.
Had fun anyway, thanks to anyone who worked me!!

Good partecipation and good fair play.
I am embiterred for the abominable behaviour of HK1X. He came near enough
to "my calling frequency", I was in that frequenzy about 2 hours! He
had
glutted my radio with him broadcasting power!
I had ask to make qsy but HE did not listen me, so I made the qso with
he, I gave the number and I tried to explane the situation but, He after
give me the number, make to believe do not hear me! So I lost my small
pile up to America, becuase I made obbligated qsy!
I think this is not ham spirit!
Anyway I hope to listen again you on the next contest!

Once again a great fun @IQ1RY! And as usual the station work great, with no
hardware problem during the contest! And as usual no contest can be made
without the station setup of Flavio IK1RQT and Flavio IK1SPR and the logistic
and the time spent by Renato I1BEP.
Thanks to Albarto IV3BSY and Nicola IV3CWB that have made a 5 hours car travel
to come to operate here. This time we also have some novice operating this
contest: Alessandro IW1ROR and Salvatore IZ1PLH made they first running QSO
during a CQ contest @IQ1RY.
The first plan was to make a M2 but then the local op were all not fulltime so
at the end we decide to enter on MS and this was the rigth choice since ur
guest operator were forced to leave earlier than expected.
Band condition on high band were really incredible: 10m were open almost until
21z with really strong, 15m as well on a good shape but with not so many people
and 20m open for all day long with incredible signal for all nigth from US. On
the other side on 40m and 80m there were few people and we have some problem
to find a running frequency.
About the call: IY1GMS is a special callsign to mark the 100th anniversary of
the appointment of Guglielmo Marconi Life Senator of the Kingdom of Italy,
December 30, 1914. It will be active until 31 December 2014.
I think we will remember this contest for a while but we cannot wait until the
next one!
See you during the ARI DX contest on 3/4 May!

Great contest. Awesome conditions especially on 10m where I should have stayed
more time. Low bands were just a no-way here. Either the power or some bad
local noise and couldn't net much in there. 80m were completely helpless.
All of the QSOs were made in S&P, didn't even try to call CQ. Absolutely no
QSOs with Oceania, very few with Africa and the most coming from EU and NA. 15m
keep being my best band and netting the bigger QSO amount.
In the overall I am more than satisfied, managed to break the half-a-million
barrier in QRP for the first time and this really apprise me.
Hats off for NA1DX for his outstanding score, I have to admit that I was quite
comfortable with my score at the end of the contest but he really did a great
job !!
See you next contest hoping for great conditions and to be able to break this
500k barrier once again :)

Poor condx Friday and Saturday on 20m thru 10m, but 40m was in good shape.
Propagation was back to normal on the higher frequencies on Sunday, and I could
finally get some runs going. Only had a few hours operating time on Sunday, but
more than made up for the poor condx on the other days.

Very limited time for this one so I chose 15 meters, single band category.
Conditions were good as I was able to hear and work Europe and Southeast Asia
most of the time. Nearly half of the QSO's were from S&P for the biggest
part of my operating time. Running was done on the second day near the end of
the contest period.
Thanks to all who were patient with me in trying to be as accurate as possible
lest my score is reduced by 10% (my usual for CQWW tests).
Good to hear many contest friends participating in this one. Lots of activity.
The morning hours both days had high activity levels and the QRM stretched from
21.2 to 21.45 MHz. Afternoons and evenings saw the activity levels decrease but
they were full of multipliers.
This one is always fun and this year was no different. See you next year.

FT1000MP, Alpha 91b, 1.5 KW, zepp, inverted vee, dipole, tee vertical. Was
scheduled to operate on 20M at NQ4I M/M this weekend, but I came down with a
head cold and when I got to Rick's we decided it would be best if I didn't try
to operate there and probably give the cold to other operators. I felt pretty
rotten all weekend, and all contacts were S&P, a first for me. The coax
has come off my beam, so I used all wire antennas. Band conditions on all
bands seemed pretty good except that QRN was very high on 160M Friday night.
Thanks for all QSOs. Think this is the first time ever that my being sick kept
me from a full-time operation in a major contest. 73, John, K4BAI.

My equipment was a TS-480 and SPE 1K-FA Amp, 3 element SteppIR with 40 dipole,
60 ft vertical wire for 80 with trap and extension for inverted L on 160.
Conditions could have been better as Saturday had light rain all day with not
enough to wash the insulators, just enough to wet the dirt and make noise.
Storms in the area on Friday night made the low bands very noisy and difficult.
No DX on 160, just a few contacts from the multi-multi operations. 80 was a
bit better, but not all that good. Not many station, but some good Europeans
on Sat/Sun period. I have seen more countries in the World Wide CW, but most
of the regular countries showed. I was glad to see A73A for my all mode DXCC

Wow...we had a blast in the is contest! The conditions were only fair in the
first 24 hours but improved the last 24 hours for us. Activity was very good
with many prefixes on the air.
Our team goal was to break the 1980 W9 record set by W9ZRX team. We had never
done a M/M from K9CT but decided that it was "rate" contest and that
we would be able to utilize our setup for that purpose in this contest. K9CT
contest is optimized for M/2 or M/1 operation.
The team was assembled right after my return from FT5ZM and it was exciting to
see that conditions have been very good. Each person expressed their excitement
for what could be done under the right conditions.
The contest started well but as usual the early hours were not as fast as we
would like. There had been some solar activity that absorbed most Asia signals
on the high bands and few JA were worked. EU was working each other on the
other bands so it was harder to run...so we went up and down each of the lower
bands trying to snag the QSOs. Both K3WA and
N7MB spelled the team during the night and chased down many QSOs on 40, 80 and
160. It was a pleasant surprise to have a good opening on 15m to EU in the
early morning hours.
Saturday morning we had hoped for rate on 20, 15 and 10 but the flare had
throttled back the time of the openings and intensity. 20 and 15 finally
allowed us to run but at less
rates than anticipated. 10 was a disappointment as we could only work S&P
on a SE path for most of the morning. By 1600Z we could finally call direct to
EU and hold a run frequency. We watched www.cqcontest.net as NQ4I was running
all morning and we could not match their QSO total or mults.
By 1300Z we had surpassed the old W9 record....and now what? Our M/2 record was
set in 2013 and embarked on beating our 13.5M points and 1307 mult records. Each
operator was having a blast running as we were not limited by band changes any
more...we were on three bands most of the time and would try to be on a fourth
if possible. The morning and
evening grey line periods were very good. We could have used 5 radios to catch
all of the action....(next time?) Anyhow, it did not take long for us to
overcome the M/2 W9 records. The team was getting word that the band conditions
were now improving as looked forward to better conditions. We quickly setup two
stackmatches in the shack to allow
operators to be in two different directions...need to figure out a better way
to handle this for next time.
The openings to JA, OC and AS were much better on the second night. Long
opening to JA on 10m with our best rates so far. Stations were cranking away on
20, 15 and 10 for many hours into the night. This was tough as we needed to get
more QSOs in the log on the low bands where the high QSO points were waiting.
40 was very good but 80 and 160 were
tough....lots of noise greeted us each night from spring storms across NA. This
is where a 5th radio setup would have been quite helpful. Maybe it was a
coincidence, but the rate was quite high after the operators each had a Bud
Light....
The team started early mentioning our other frequencies to callers and it was
accepted very well. Lots of stations moved to other bands...most of our 160
QSOs were moved there from 80 and 40 QSOs. We had several stations who were
#1,2 and 3...obviously they had as much fun as we did working them. Thanks to
all of the stations that did work us on many bands!
We also had several ham visitors during the weekend. Two were new contesters
and sat with our ops and listened to them operate. Both were encouraged to sit
at an open radio and operate....KC0TOT and KB9PPY made several QSOs....in fact
did a great job! KC0TOT and his wife, KD0EKA joined SMC during his stay.
Again N7MB and K3WA filled in on the second night so that our operators could
get some needed sleep. KC0TOT also filled a seat during the night and helped
out. Operators were anticipating good runs in the morning when they awoke. And
they were not disppointed....Sunday was a better day. 20 started early with 15m
close behind. 10m opened quickly and was there all day. Good LP openings to AS
and OC on 20m as well.
The team kept at it and watched as WX3B joined the online scoring on
cqcontest.net. Wow..all day horse race. NQ4I had a good lead on us but WX3B was
in our zone. It was back and forth all day....Jim's team got an early jump with
the east coast advantage to EU. But we pressed on not knowing that all of us
would surpass the USA mark set by KM3T team in 2000 and the prefix record of
K1LZ set in 2010.
Matt, KB9UWU was to leave with an hour early to make it to a band practice. No
way was he going to leave the chair! He kept pounding away...each operator was
pleading for mults and QSOs like mad! We watched the live scores like the
finish to many of the NCAA basketball games this weekend....back and forth with
WX3B. We held our collective breath as the clock ticked to the end. We resynched
and rescored the log and uploaded our final score....just squeaking by WX3B.
Just like a last second shot from half court swished through the net. Now to
find out how accurate we logged... :-)!
Thanks for all of the team members... K3WA, K9CT, K9QQ, K9ZO, KB9OWD, KB9PPY,
KB9UWU, KC0TOT, N7MB, WE9V for their comradery during the 48 hours. The food
and conversation were great.
Also, thanks and congratulations to the teams of NQ4I and WX3B for a fun
weekend! We truly enjoyed the competition.

I'd had ideas for a single band 10 effort. Friday night teased with pretty

coming back later in the day. After an early quick burst of loud EU on 15m,
Sunday morning was much improved on 10 with prominent EU signals late into the
day. Good stuff!

usual.
15 opened with a BANG Saturday morning with last 10 rates over 300! Sunday
afternoon, we had snow and rain static. 15 and 10 were great - we actually had

I knew I just wanted to have fun in this one and just compete. 10 meters has
been awesome this past month so I decided to just work 10 especially since I
couldn't devote the time I wanted.
Band was great except for the power line noise when I turn the beam toward JA
in the evening. Propagation was good. I am glad that I slept in Sunday morning
and didn't get up at 5:30 because the band wasn't ready when I finally did get
up at 7am. By 7:30 it was going strong!
Best run was 106 in one hour and 56 and 52 in a couple of different half hours.
Lots of S&P but still not too bad for me.
Its fun to be a desired multiplier!

This week's exciting adventure began innocently enough with some late night
operating on various bands this past week.We were casually operating after work
at about 2am local time on 20 Mtrs. After we tried to QRT after each QSO there
were dozens of stations calling, so kept at it until almost 6am well past our
bedtime. Band conditions were excellent to Europe and Asia when the band should
usually be dead. Tried some more operating on 15 and 10 the next few days with
the same results. Most signal reports were mind boggling such as "30 to 40
Db over 9 Old Man". Tried low power and still got reports of "20 Db
over 9" and even QRP reports of "59 to 59 plus 10". This got us
thinking why not try QRP as we have operated in almost every other category
such as SOAB HP, SOAB LP, SOAB(A), and SO AB Trib/Wires. After checking out our
antennas and making some last minute changes we were ready to give it a try.Not
expecting much on the usually noisy 160, 80 and 40 Mtrs, we decided to
concentrate on 10, 15 and 20 and hope for the best. We started on 20 Mtrs and
found a "wall" of stations from Europe calling CQ and getting NO
REPLIES, so we just started calling and got through to all of them on first or
second call, reaching 28 in 34 minutes.
The next hour was beaming south on 10, 15 and 20 and back to EU on 20 for
another hour. Moved to 40 and 80 and picked up some locals and a handful of DX
with some "good ears", then back to 20 for some more EU until
daybreak.
1100Z to 1300Z were mostly on 15 Mtrs, with 10 not really opening here until
1300Z or so. Stayed on 10 until 1700Z and moved to 15 until 1900Z when we went
back to 10 which was still open at 2000Z when we went back to 15. The next few
hours were spent working stations to the south, not thinking to check for
Asia.
Sunday 20 was already open when we woke up at 6am, then 15 and finally 10 was
already open at 1200Z so we thought "what the heck" and called CQ in
a clear spot and actually worked 25 stations in 10 minutes until we were
stepped on by
a European who asked if the freq was in use but could not hear us so took over
our freq. Oh well. The rest of the day was a slow process of sweeping the band
from 28.3 to 28.9 which of course took forever looking for new stations we had
not worked as yet. Conditions on ten were great and it was unbelievable that we
heard stations from Northern Europe that we NEVER hear (TF,OX,OH,LA,OZ) and they
were 30 Db over 9! including VU2RCT. Basically we were on 10 from 1200Z Sun
until 2100Z when we were still hearing EU on 10. Amazing. Asked a few people
what our true signal report was and received replies of from "S3 to 59
Plus 10".Swept 15 and 20 until 2230Z when we heard JA's blasting in on 10
and ended up working 30 JA's and 2 VK at the very end. Heard BY and HL but
could not break the pileups.Not much rare DX and only ZS9 and 2 Morocco from
Africa.
We had a great time all weekend with a different experience from the usual of
running stations with High Power and thanks to all those with great ears that
heard our weak signals, and the many volunteers who support the WPX Contest.

Worked this contest off and on throughout the weekend. Had some issues with my
recently repaired loop antenna so had to spend some time trouble shooting.
Wound up cutting 20 feet off of the loop which helped with getting the antenna
to tune easier. 10 meters was wide open all weekend, but not as much Asia as I
expected despite reports from other contester's locally of working lots of
JA's. My best DX was actually on 20 meters, with UP2L in Kazakhstan who was a
solid 5x7 at 22:52 on Sunday.

What a great weekend operating at W6HD! I never really got the rate up where I
wanted it, but was fairly consistent throughout. John's tribander is at 50',
but there is a very steep dropoff to the East - good for DX, but I think that's
why I could never get a good domestic run going. EU, on the other hand, was
quite a treat.
I've only been contesting since 2009 and this is the first time my EU totals
have exceeded those from Asia. Working Northern Europe at 2300 local on 15m is
something I haven't experienced since I was a teenager in the late 70's.
All in all, I would have had more fun running high power, but LP was great
training for busting pileups and cultivating patience. Thanks again to John
and Jane for their generous hospitality and the use of their wonderful station.
I'm in the middle of building up my station again after moving back to CA and
hope to begin contesting in earnest again from home next year.
As always, thanks to all the casual contesters who came out and handed out Q's
and mults. I always try to encourage new hams when I get a call from a low
serial number guy on Sunday. They might take a little longer, but hopefully
the contesting community will continue to grow.

In celebration of the Beatles 50th anniversary of landing in America, I
deliberately stopped at one of my most favorite Beatles songs, One After 909
(Anthology version, not Let It Be, as this version and recording is the most
correct and accurate depiction of the song as Lennon and McCartney performed it
in 1962). However, after I shut down the radio and thought about it some more,
if going by this logic alone, I should have stopped at 910 since that is the
real "one after 909", right? Or was one after 909 simply the next
train due and was, say perhaps, train #755?.....We may never no.

Well that was fun. Around the clock propagation on ten and fifteen makes
for extra excitement. We had all six bands on the air from 9pm local time to
past 3am. The serial numbers really slow you down and we had a few slow
hours on Sunday morning but the bands came back full blast for a good
ending. Lloyd, K5ZO and I did this contest for the first time multi-multi in
1978 and it was nice to have him here this year from Texas to operate with
the Kenai team and be part of this excellent score from Alaska. Special thanks
to the crew that put in the extra hours of butt clue these conditions
required.

Not a serious effort. Bands were less than stellar on Saturday. SSB contests
just aren't my favorite and the WPX SSB is no exception. This afternoon the JAs
were S9 on 10 meters, about the loudest I've ever heard them. This contest gave
me more time to get familiar with the SSB settings on the new rig. I also found
out on Saturday morning that my 40 meter inverted V was down, thanks to high
winds and most likely the ice storm back in January. If we ever get warmer
weather and no rain (or snow) I will get another one up in the trees.

Was hoping for better results here, since this contet was
four weeks after the ARRL Phone Contest. Spent some of the
time after that contest addressing some of the antenna
issues I had then. I removed one of the 160m wires, freeing
the top 10/15 to turn a far as JA this time. The prop pitch
was frozen when I got up Sunday morning, but 30 minutes with
the heater freed it up for the rest of the contest.
The big issue this time around was QRN. In the ARRL contest
most of the 744 Europeans I worked on 10m were S0 to S3.
On Saturday, the QRN on 10m was a steady S3 hiss in the
direction of EU. Sunday, there was a constant S7 hash QRN
on 10m. 15 & 20 didn't have that problem, but was unable to
find a spot in among all the giant fixed stations.
Did quite a bit better than the past few years, but barely
beat my 2002 score, and that was due to the growth in multipliers
avaiable, since I had fewer QSOs. Was surprised in how few VEs
I worked.
Spent part of my offtimes answering email questions about
the contest.
Looks like a lot of people had a lot of fun.
Wonder what the CW weekend in May has in store?

It doesn't get any better than this!
All my WPX records were obliterated �" WOW - At first I thought, I'm
starting to get the hang of this contesting thing. But soon realized that
propagation is the controlling factor vs. my operating skills. The only real
goal I had made was to improve running at low power in this contest and
increasing the number of prefixes. That goal was achieved by making over 400
Q's during some amazing runs to Europe and Asia. The runs harvested many new
prefixes including ones from Qatar, China, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Japan and
India. My previous best prefix total was 655, so the new total of 826 was over
the top. In summary, the runs resulted in more contacts (1557 vs 1229) and my
first score over 3M in any contest.
Another indicator of how good the conditions were, is that the station felt
strong much of the time. I was able to break many of the pile-ups, both to
Asia and Europe, and received many comments of a booming signal. The DX was
very good with Gabon, Sierra Leone, Saudi Arabia, China (10 contacts), India,
Israel, Indonesia, Saudi, Turkey, Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Kiribati some
nifty UA's and UN's and working 68 JA's from Southeast Georgia adding to the
fun of low power contesting. Missed the T88, JT and several others. 20m
Saturday night was amazing.
WPX is probably my favorite contest and the score is a best for this station.
Thanks to everyone for hearing me and working to get my exchange. Lots of QRM
on 15m and 20m, so I know there will be busted contacts. Also, thanks to CQ
and the contest committee for all their work.

I have been very busy with non radio things and it was nice to get to

mostly driven by the need for sleep. My only real goal other than having
fun was to try to maximize the QSO total. Thanks for the contacts.

Great conditions overall, and with the rain all weekend and mild temperatures,
the incessant line noise that plagues my NNJ QTH was knocked down a bit,
allowing me to hear a little better.
The solar event on Saturday afternoon was quite eerie - watching my panadapter
display go flatline within minutes after being filled up with big signals
across the band reminded me of the great NYC blackout of '77. I thought
"that was it" for the rest of the weekend, but to my relief, the band
came back, and was stronger than ever. On Saturday night, the JA opening faded
out at the usual time, but then came back, and was better. For a while, there
seemed to be a bottomless sea of JAs, albeit weak ones that I had to dig out of
the noise. It then occurred to me that a form of Hell that Dante missed was to
be tied to a radio, working weak JAs for eternity - through line noise. I'm not
complaining about the opening, which made me long for the heady days of the 80s
when the JAs were more plentiful - I just wish my radio had a better noise
blanker!

Although the conditions were disturbed over the week end when the band opened up
the signals were extremely strong. Many Europeans were S9 plus 30/40 dbs and
the band was opened world wide.
It is absolutely amazing to me how many contacts can be made in a contest with
just 5 watts into an efficient antenna system (3 stacked 8 element mono band
yagis).
Thanks to everyone who pulled me out of the QRM and provided me a contact.

K3 / N1MM / 40m OCF dipole . Operated /8 from Ohio County, WV. My goal was
200K points, 500Qs and at least 220 WPX . . . . done, done and done. Unless I
blow up my score in log checking, I believe I've exceeded the W8 SOLP40,
non-assisted record. The last 60Qs were very tough, mainly because I elected to
stop early Saturday night. I blame the cold weather: the hamshack isn't heated,
it was snowing, I've been in Miami all winter, and I just couldn't take the cold
anymore. Definitely will add a wood burning stove this fall. Many thanks for
the Qs, and many, many thanks for the nice rag chews during the slow periods on
Sunday afternoon. 73 KV4QS

Call: KW7XX Class: SO(A)AB HP Total Score = 5,502,810
Fantastic band conditions. It was nice to see 10 meters open to EU for a good
part of both days. 15 meters was open to EU almost constantly. Even though I
had very little success on 20 meters, that band never closed. Had great runs to
Asia both days and one nice run to EU on 15 meters Sunday afternoon. The Europe
run is pretty uncommon from the Pacific Northwest...(The RF Black Hole of the
USA). 40 meters was great for running Asia both mornings. Also had a handful of
EU stations there Saturday night. I didn't even bother with 80 meters this
year.
Power line noise continues to be an issue at my QTH. I hope a second visit form
the utilities company can be more help than the first visit. With that said
thanks to all who had the patience to give me fills. I'm sorry to those who I
had to cut loose after multiple tries.
Highlights:
* All time personal best score for WPX
* Even QSO count between Europe and Asia
* Avg of 2.5 pts per QSO was a personal best
* My highest ever WPX count (930)
Thanks to all the weekend warriors who enjoy handing out Q's even tough they
are not contesters themselves. There were many " You're 59 00?"
replies on Sunday. These folks really helped the Q-Count.
Hope to meet some familiar calls later this week at Visalia!!
Cheers,

Rotator out with beams pointed east. Coax's to both beams appear to be full of
water after a very very wet winter (yeah, knew they needed replacement, got
lazy). FT-990 to ATR-30 and 80M inverted V patterned south does not work
well!!! Was not fun so cleaned up part of the garage and wept.

Amazing conditions. I have always said that you can tell when 10 is in great
shape because Europe and Asia will overlap. That happened both evenings, but
on Friday evening EU was still coming through about 4 hours after the first
JA!
Many rare ones like 3B8, 3V, UN, UK
Usually something goes wrong such as an equipment, computer or antenna system,
but not this time. Sometimes I feel my antennas are too high or too low etc.,
but not this time. Thank goodness for the Alpha. It just kept on ticking.
When I made big frequency excursions, I would try to re-tune it, but it was
never necessary. Just set it and forget it. As a friend of mine would say:
"It's too good."

Call: LA3S Class: SOSB10 LP Total Score = 1,418,680
I was not ready for SOAB this year, and the low-band antennas are down at LA3S,
so the obvious entry would be SO10. This, in combination with very good
conditions recently on the high frequencies, made the choice easy.
I normally prefer CW, and operate SSB LP in contests so seldomly that I forget
how frustrating it is to have no attention. In a contest where
"everybody" represent a mult, the only way to be noticed is a strong
signal. That is not easy with 100w and 3el. How I missed the rbn! The operation
was 80% S&P, with only a few runs during the final opening to NA on Sunday.
My goal was to beat the old national record at 423k. By the end of day 1 I was
about half, but the openings to JA and NA were not very productive, so I was
anxious about the conditions in day 2. It opened quite early with a much better
opening to JA, and also NA came in with better signals than the day before. At
sunset I realized that I had a good signal in NA, and could benefit from the
fact that most of the other EU stations either had the band closed, or had
moved to a lower band. So the last 3-4 hours were the most enjoyable. I have
seldomly increased the rate towards the end of a contest, but thanks to some
spotters, I could add about 400k to the score.
I look forward to the CW leg, it will probably be SO10. Long live the
sun-spots, this is fun!

Very troubled conditions ruined the rate after saturday afternoon local (X
Flare), the propagation did not recover in full as all bands got a high noise
floor. Only 10m remain workable most of the time. 15m got a limited capability
and 20m was very weak as a runner. Forget about 40m and up. On Sunday the
combination of high noise, weak signals and a dominant path between EU-US
casted the possibilities to a slow intensity S&P for most of the day. By
far the poorest propagation in CQ WPX so far for me. Ol'sun was uncooperative I
guess.

Best ever score we made in WPX SSB since we started as M/M in 2003.
Differently from 2013 bands were not so noisy and condx on 15 and 10m were much
better, although much can be desired yet. ( and they say it's a sun's maximum
activity in 2014-2015 ? ).
Looks like first time ever we made more QSOs on SSB on 40m than our German
friends at DR1A, too. Due to better upper bands condx activity on 40,80 and
160m was lower which reflects the number of QSOs made.
2300 QSOs more than we made in 2013 and some 15 000 000 more points than last
year.
Of course we do not make comparisons to ES9C guys since they seem to
participate in different contests than us mortals ;-).
Would be interesting to see the score of 9A1A gang who are closest to us as a
location. II9P team gained from the better condx they had on 15 and 10m.
Overall, it was fun as usual :-) and we'll do it again in WPX CW in May.
THANKS to all who called us.

This was a team effort by members of Cray Valley Radio Society, we had to build
the station on Friday and the quad is being dismantled again as I speak.
Fantastic conditions on 10m, especially working ZM90DX late on Sunday evening
local time. 20m was difficult at the start, we knew we were loud and were
getting lots of callers before the start of the contest, but QRM levels and
band occupancy went up alarmingly once it kicked off and we found it hard to
make a decent rate for the first couple of hours.
Combination of newer and experienced operators and everyone had fun, including
the first barbeque of the season - ‘Angrillen’ as mentioned by one of our
group who is from Germany.

I should have read the rules BEFORE the contest...
I *assumed* a 30 minute minimum OFF Time but later found out it is 60 minutes.
Several (19) SINGLE contacts spaced 40-50 minutes cost me 5 hours of air time
by the rules. I listed actual air time (assuming 30 minute breaks were OK).
As usual, I focused on multi-band QSOs and 'interesting DX' on a very limited
random part-time basis. There were 3 5-Band QSOs, 9 4-Band QSOs, 24 3-Band
QSOs.

A "personal best" SOLP Non-Assisted WPX score for me, using a Kenwood
TS-950SD, Heil ProSet with HC-5 element,and a home brew G5RV up 50 feet running
N-S from 6,053 feet in Cheyenne, WY. No real runs and 95% Hunt and Pounce. 40
meters yielded the most Q's followed by 10,15,20,and 80 meters respectively.
Ten Meters made for more DX contacts and higher multiplier value than the 40
Meter stateside runs that I have tried in the past. It's tough to run on 10 and
15 meters with a G5RV and 95 watts!I planned on operating for the entire 36 hrs.
allowed, but wasted 6 hours and 15 minutes due to sleeping through the alarm! I
was second place SOLP for 7 land last year, but don't think I can expect to
beat the other "Big Gun" ops who have towers and beams. All things
considered, I think I did pretty well for 95 watts and a single (G5RV) antenna,
and I'm improving my score with every WPX effort. My modest station is forcing
me to learn the basics, and will make me a better op who will really appreciate
a tower and beam someday! Thanks for the Q's and more than a few repeats.

Call: N8II Class: SOSB10 LP Total Score = 1,975,812
Things started off with a lot of promise, loud SA and JA's/East Asia. I was able
to run Japanese for a while and accumulated quite a few prefixes including 8J1,
T32, B4, RT0, VK6, VK8, VY1, and VR2. A solar flare almost ruined Saturday with
the band opening so painfully slowly and late to EU with the first direct path
EA/CT's worked around 1215Z and I was not able to run EU until 1335Z when some
Germans finally had good signals. All day long can best be described as a
struggle with virtually no Scandinavians and only a very few Russians working
RM5 first at 1445Z. I finally succumbed to a break at 1915Z after struggling to
work a couple of EA's. At 1955Z, something wonderful had happened, signals were
strong and that even included SM, OH, and Russia, but it lasted only until
2055Z, then the rest of the day was pretty slow with the only strong signals
from the south and Oceania. The path to JA essentially closed all evening. S8-9
precipitation static from heavy rain/wind hit the high yagi just as I finished
sweeping the band to the west; luckily, the lower south yagi was quiet. It was
still the same after a two hour break at 02Z! The static and some snow were
there for maybe 75 minutes on Sunday, making running very difficult. Day one
was finished with 645 hard gathered QSO's. Sunday morning by 12Z was pretty
much back to normal or even above normal conditions especially on the more
polar paths logging many northern EU and Russians plus loud stations from
central Asia and the far East calling in such as HS0, YB0, EX8, RL9, VU2, and
VU3, but running became difficult after about 1530Z as the EU to west coast USA
path blew wide open and I had pretty well worked out the band. During a S&P
sweep at 1830Z (midnight in VU) a VU2 was S9+25db, about the loudest ever heard
here from India. Another surprise was a very early opening to JA with some loud
signals starting at 2035Z (0535 JST!), but I was only sporadically active after
1910Z and the JA's dropped out early around 2330Z which was right around sunset,
so a final rush of Asian mults was not to be had.
Compared to the ARRL contests, activity was down a bit from EU and the number
of USA stations calling CQ seemed at least as high, but they were so weak on
backscatter that very few could hear me, not worth the struggle of trying too
often. Many thanks for all of the QSO's and prefixes. When I hit 900 Q's,
exactly 600 were multipliers, a great ratio. The abundance of mults keeps
things interesting. My number of USA Q's and mults were substantially lower
than expected, but that was due to poor conditions on Saturday and always
having a band wide open from Eu to western NA Sunday. Many thanks for all of
the Q's.

Interesting conditions, indeed. The low bands were noisy the first night and
quiet the second. The high bands were slow to open Saturday morning and 10
wasn't so good, but 10 was fantastic Sunday. I did seem to run out of stations
to work on Sunday which was a surprised considering the good conditions. Never
did have a real high rate, not even on 10 Sunday. 20 and 15 were very packed,
it was difficult to find a frequency and on Sunday when i did find one it
wasn't particularly productive. With 20 open to EU pretty much 24 hrs/day and
15 for about 12hrs, it got tiring hearing the same very loud multis all the
time, but i guess that's the penalty for good conditions.
Hearing and working VU2RCT with an s9+ signal at 19z on 10 Sunday was the
highlight of the contest.
I made some changes to the station inside in the couple days before the contest
to try and implement SO2R, they didn't work out as expected so I spent quite a
bit of the first couple hours troubleshooting. Finally gave up and ran with
one radio on 40, the other on all the other bands and no real SO2R.
My target going in was 4.0meg, thought it would take 2000q to get there but my
points/q and mults were higher than expected so made it with less Qs. Didn't
think i'd get there Saturday night, but 10 came thru on Sunday.
There were some really big numbers out there, congrats to those stations and
thanks to everyone for the Qs.

I always enjoy this contest and multipliers were plentiful this year. I ran QRP
as always and Saturday was really a struggle as conditions to Europe were very
poor until after about 1800Z. Losing 10 meters made it tough since that's
usually my "go-to band" with QRP. Conditions seemed very good late
on Sunday morning but I missed a couple of hours due to church.
Thanks to the great ops with the good ears and the patience to pull my whisper
of a signal through the splatter.

Got a late start Friday night due to overhead thunderstorms, and lost another
hour later at night when a second wave passed overhead.
Noted three blackouts on Saturday, the first at 1605 lasted an hour, the other
two were similar to "aftershocks" that lasted about half an hour
each. Was able to work folks out to 1,000 miles during the outages to get
prefix's that became available.
This was the first WPX SSB at the new location, score tripled any past scores
from Texas operations. Conditions were good, and the fine configuration and
design for the antenna farm by Dan, K1TO of A1 Towers gets the credit for the
improved performance.
Noticed some jamming on some stations on all bands, and a good deal of poorly
adjusted radios spewing out lots of "trash".
See you all in a few weeks on CW!

Kind of a last minute decision to to this contest...usually I don't participate
due to lack of free weekends, but now that I'm an old retired fart, every day
is a weekend! :-) No one had planned any Multi operation from W0AIH, so
decided to give 10 meter single band a shot as long as 10 meters has been in
such great shape.
Friday night and Saturday morning were huge disappointments....the solar
flare(s) killed direct path propagation to Europe Saturday morning and only
workable Europe from our northerly latitudes were Big Gun's off a skew path
towards Africa.
Sunday morning was MUCH better and little pistols direct could easily be
worked. Worked a bunch of QRP with antenna in attic guys! Rate Saturday
morning stayed in 40's while Sunday was around 100 most of morning.
Thanks to Paul for having me over. Its always a fun time!

RF seems to remain an issue on 15M with logging program (N1MM) being hit by the

Never saw the bands close so quickly (dramatically) as they did when the solar
flare went off! While 10M and 15M seemed to come back in something like 30 -
45 minutes, 20M seemed never to really recover it's full vigor.

I don't operate SSB contest much, but I could not pass up these great
conditions. This was the most QSOs I ever made in a SSB contest. Picked up 12
new countries on SSB, including Kuwait. It was nice to have 20 meters open all
night. The only reason I left 20 meters for 40 meters was to pick up a few 6
pointers. And 10 meters being open until late in the evening was great. I am
really surprised at how well my temporary 10 meter dipole works at 8 feet off
the ground.

First and foremost, what great conditions to hold a contest! My team has never
heard the bands so hot from top to bottom. Endless activity has made the CQWPX
SSB contest one of the best contests ever! I want to thank my competitors for
making it the most exciting and challenging events on the ham bands in a long
time. K9CT and WX3B are with out a doubt some of the finest competitors on the
bands for the WPX test. And I want to thank them for posting their scores for
all to see on cqcontest.ru. Having the online score board available made this a
real horse race for all to see and enjoy.
We paused just before the contest to memorialize former team member W4SVO, who
has made significant contributions to our low band success at NQ4I. Mark
recently became a silent key and is missed by all NQ4I team members. We
dedicated this contest operation and score to his memory. And I am sure that in
our daily contesting operation, he was there urging us onward and upward.
I also want to thank the team members at Team NQ4I who gave up their time to
come and be a part of the operation. Driving and flying from all over the South
East US to be here. We had contest newbie Larry WB5EIN who drove from Tupelo,
Mississippi to join us. He fit right in. His contributions were greatly
appreciated.
In my 53 years of Ham radio, I don't think I have ever seen the high bands and
low bands so filled with contestor's. To quote a true sage of Ham Radio, Gene
Walsh N2AA "There ain't no meters like Ten Meters". And it held true
to form. Band opening lasted well into the nights and activity was apparent all
the way up to 29.900 Mhz!
One of our prime RUN op's had to cancel Friday afternoon before the test
started, and it made some big changes in our lineup. Op's were told to be
flexible and they would be assigned and moved when needed. The NQ4I team
responded in great form. Seats were filled, qso's were made, meals were
consumed, stories were told, and memories were made in the 48 hours of the
test.
Records: 1. New US M-M high claimed score 33,608,558 points! We are hoping that
after log checking it will remain as a new US record for SSB.
2. New US WPX Prefix record! We had 1717 prefixes. We surpassed the current
record at 7 am on Sunday morning and kept the bells ringing in the shack as new
ones were worked all the rest of the day.
3. New Station record for most number of SSB qsos.
Band by Band comments:
160-Don K4PK labored and toiled to make 135 qso's. The band was quiet, but the
action was on the high bands and the low bands suffered some.
80-Bill AA4LR really turned in a great performance, even with the action being
on the higher bands.
40-This is the band that had suffered the greatest damage during the last ice
storm. The reflector of the top 3 over 3 stack for the RUN station is still
broken and needs repair so Jim VE7ZO only had a 2 and 1/2 element yagi for the
top antenna. Didn't seem to make that much difference. The 40m MULT antenna was
severely damaged and under a complete rebuild. Because of the windy and rainy
weather leading up to the contest, I was only able to get the antenna above the
bottom set of guy wires and it was fixed on EU at 55 feet and non-rotatable.
N4XL still managed to make a significant number of Mult qsos with it. Dennis
KD3P kept 40m humming all during the daytime. Thanks Dennis.
20-Steve AG4W had previously been the MULT op for 15m...with the cancellation
of K4BAI, Steve was pressed into RUN Op duties and responsibilities. He did a
super job and has subsequently been promoted to RUN op. MULT Op on 20m is
newbie Larry WB5EIN. Made the drive from Miss to be a part of the team and did
a fantastic job. The wind blew all weekend with gusts to 45 mph and more almost
all weekend...The 8 el Yagi at 185 feet kept turning and was hard to keep it
pointed where we wanted it. More repairs will be needed.
15- Dennis K4NV and Jim KM4HI teamed up and found that 15m was the band to be
on. The band was open nearly every hour around the clock. It kept them on their
toes staying in the seats.
10-George K5KG flew up from the Sarasota, Fla area to be part of the team. And
I am sure he has no regrets. The 10m band was wall to wall with stations and
activity. We have never worked so many JA's and BY's as we did this past
weekend. Tremendous activity from SE Asia, The Far East, and Europe.
Unbelievable! George's team mate was Jeff W4DD, who is responsible for the
technical needs of the station. Jeff kept the MULT station manned and
productive all weekend long.
Mark, W4SVO...."this one was for you"!! RIP.

Many many thanks to Carol, N2MM, for inviting me to use her station during
WPX-SSB after I had spent a week on business in Boston, MA. So flew down Friday
afternoon to Philadelphia, PA, where Carol picked me up for transport to her QTH
in NJ.
Another big thank you to Norm, W3IZ, for lending the club call NT3S for use
during the contest. It sure helped to keep the rate a little up at times. ;-)
I really had a very enjoyable time, great to experience contesting from the
other side of the pond. Conditions were very nice Friday evening with a few
JA's right after the contest started and before the band faded. Saturday still
good but distorted later on and no JA opening. Sunday better again but sorrily
had to leave at 18z already to catch my flight back to Germany. As I heard
later from Carol 10 m had still been open 21.30z into *all* continents in
parallel ...
Would I have known before that I would be through check-in, baggage drop *and*
TSA in under 10 minutes I certainly would have operated at least an hour
longer. ;-)
Thanks again Carol!

WOW! What else can be said to sum it up.
For sure the best balance of conditions of the cycle for this contest.
The high bands were fantastic although not always. Collectively,
better than anything else since 2000 - 2002. We will sure be
fondly remembering this contest in a few years.
They key to this one, I believe, was to accomodate the bands and
maximize on what they delivered. I tried starting on 40M but that
went nowhere, so it was off to 15 where a good run of JAs was
possible and then 20M where EU was wide open. In fact, 20M was
very good from here until about 08Z to EU. On both days, 20M
was not good to EU until about 18Z. 15M accomodated early
and then 10M followed. However, 10M was decent but not great to
EU on Saturday and got better on Sunday. Sunday was better overall
on both 10M and 15M providing the best rates of the contest.
20M was not great other than 20 - 06Z. 40M was hardly ever the best
band. I found much better 6 point runs on 80M actually. So, I found
myself camped out on 10, 15, and 80 for most of the contest. 40M was
second radio for about half the Qs and 20M was close to the same. I
milked the 3 pointers for this one instead of rate. I only found
myself dipping to the mostly US Qs twice, 20M mid day Sunday and
and 10M and 15M later Sunday afternoon.
The Asia openings were wonderful. They weren't a HUGE add of Qs,
but they were a lot of mults (and a lot of fun). I worked more JAs
in this year's contest than in all of the past 10 years of WPX SSB
contests combined. There was great SA activity - but there is always
is in this contest.
My average points were 2.95. Thats the highest ever for me. The last
2 years were 2.45 and 2.7. The 2.7 year was a new US LP record of 5.9
Million gross. This year beat that significantly. Best Qs, best
mults, highest average - all add up to great score. We will see if
it holds vs other great scores that I am sure are coming.
We can only hope that WPX CW is as good.

New personal best in this contest and it was a single band effort! First time
doing this contest with my tribander. My dipoles are down due to an issue I
need to address so without low bands I made the decision to try single band 20.
This was my first time doing a single band effort. I could either finish 5th in
my ARRL section or go for something more. It was extremely difficult to see all
the spots on 10 and 15 and not switch to SOAB but I stayed on 20 meters and
slugged it out with the tuner uppers, the ragchewers, who seemed out to get us
contesters and the guy who liked to follow me around sending code of vulgar
language. Nonetheless, I hanged in there. Man, 14 hours only on 20 meters
could be a prison sentence for some. I have my typical end of phone contest
headache.
This was the first time I was able to run EU from my home station. I ran about
80% of the time for this contest which I can never do during CQWW or ARRL (or
maybe this showed me I can, hmmm). I reached 100 QSOs in the fastest time ever,
1 hour, 7 minutes. My best rate was about 130/hr in the last 30 minutes of the
contest when I sat on 14.341 which turned out to be a great selection for the
last half hour a few kc below W1AW/1 who I could not hear as I was beaming EU.
It was a kick to have some of the big contests stations in EU and Russia and
even the Middle East calling me.
Station performed flawlessly and it was nice for once to just set up everything
and not have to change amp settings on band switches. As contests go this was
my third straight major contest personal best. This is the 3rd most QSOs I
have ever had in a contest (1st was ARRL 4 weeks ago, 2nd was CQWW SSB last
October and this was a single band effort. Looking forward to the contest time
off now and heading to Dayton in May to maybe get a couple things to improve the
station. Thanks to the stateside and the DX for the QSOs. See you in CQWPX CW
in May. 73 de Bill NW3H

Many issues; beginning weeks before during the planning right up to the start of
the contest. Operators was the main issue. Getting increasingly difficult to
get operators. Antenna damage and a couple of amps not acting right. Then
Friday evening stormy weather prevented us from getting on the air.
For several days prior to the contest I really wanted to just call it off. But
at the same time I did not want to since a couple of the ops had made special
changes to their schedule to be here so I decide to just tell everyone to
operate as much or as little as they wanted. KU5B and NX5M were out in the
field covering the severe weather events for local media. Text messages were
sent to KJ5T and N5XJ letting them know that once the severe weather threat had
passed and as soon as we got back to the station we would go ahead and set it up
and if they wanted to operate, they could.
KJ5T elected to drive on it but we never heard from N5XJ. With that, we
operated off and on until 1600z Sunday. We slept during the night, we went out
to eat lunch and dinner and much of the time there was only one operator on the
air.....switching chairs freely if so desired. I think there may have been
only about 2 hours that all three of us were actually operating.
I think we may be done with trying to do multi-multi. With the lack of
interest in operating or conflicts preventing those we invite.....it is
impossible to do anything seriously.

I did not have chance to sleep enough before the start so I had to sleep a bit
longer than I originally planned and that ruined my operating plans. I spent
Friday evening fixing the rotating system of my main tower. I partly managed to
solve the problem but the tower would not turn properly. Something was stuck and
I could not turn it towards Asia. Then it got dark and there was nothing I could
do. My main beams were stuck westwards. I still had to prepare the shack before
I could hit the sack. I woke up after 05Z and prepared quickly a sandwich and a
mug of tea and started to S&P Asian stations on 15m with a low fixed beam
pointed to JA. After a while I tried to run but I felt weak compared to the
stack that I would normally have used. Around 07Z I was surprised to get a
reply from N4WW and WE4H but nobody else from the states seemed to be aware of
the opening. After a fruitless trial on 15m I moved to 20m and then to 10m
where I had only a low 4 element beam fixed to south. The main tower would
still not budge. About 0830Z I took a break and tried to force the tower
manually but something was still blocking the lower guy wire ring. I lost some
valuable operating time in these activities. Nothing resolved I came back to
the house and had a bite. Then I returned to the shack and continued to S&P
on 10m. Once in a while I tried to turn the main tower when lo and behold it
started to turn properly again. Soon I QSY'd to 15m with my stack pointed to
USA ready for the pileups. The rates never went very high for some reason but
stayed between 80 to 110 Q/h. 1845Z the band went down and I needed a break.
After that I moved to 10m to see if it was open anymore. The rates were not
very good but the propagation was interesting. 21Z I had to take a break
because of my voice and throat problems. I continued on 15m and when it was
closed around 2315Z I moved to the lower bands because 20m was not very good.
My 20m totals were disturbingly low. After toiling on the lower bands to get
some double points I went to bed because I felt that I was losing my voice. I
woke up next morning after 06Z which was already too late but finally I managed
to work some USA on 20m. About 0730Z I moved to 15m to try to work some JA
pileups because I was able to turn the stack towards Japan. There were some
JA's coming through but not plenty so after 40 minutes I moved to see what 10m
has got to offer from the east. The band was wide open and it was easier to
work the stations there than what it was on 15m. After 10Z I moved back to 15m
to secure a running frequency before the band opened into the states. W2OIB was
the first one to come back to me at 1150Z and there was more to follow. Then it
was time to move to 10m before 14Z. The pileup thinned out around 1930Z but
there were many stations to be worked by S&P. Now even 15m and 20m were in
poor shape so after a break I had to continue on 40m and 80m. 7M points was
very close so I tried to push but finally missed it by only a mere 20k points.
If I had been able to operate the missing 90 minutes that it took for the extra
breaks I would have passed the milestone with flying colors. In all this was a
memorable contest and I was surprised what I could do with just one radio, 700W
and a compromised setup. I hope I'll manage to fix at least a few things in the
long to-do list before the CW leg.

My original plan was to travel to ES9C but I had to cancel my trip because of
health issues earlier this week (neck and shoulder pain + painkillers
combination is not good for hardcore contesting and travelling). Instead I went
to our club to work some daytime band "just for fun".
10m was better than I expected. On Saturday the start was lazy (1st QSO 0426Z),
JH4UYB was audible with S7 signal two hours before he could hear me. Then later
in the morning I got some JA run. USA started very poorly, it was not until
1600Z when the band was runnable. Good runs even to West Coast, although over
the pole propagation never happened. Last qso was with CA3 at 2155Z.
On Sunday the band was open much earlier, the first qsos were after 0330Z,
ZM90DX was one of the first ones. Now JA run was more or less "in the
right time". USA opening had similar phenomenon than on Saturday - I
couldn't get rate before 1600Z. Then band held open till 2000Z.
I was pleased to work new OH record and even manage to get over 1000
multipliers. And I passed also OH1F's (by OH1TM) 14 year old unassisted record
which I did not believe to happen on Saturday when I had less than 1k qsos.
What was again dissapointing thing is that it seems to be impossible to compete
Mid/South Europe on 10 meters. 16 elements and 1500 watts is not enough against
tribanders and SB220s ...

Superb propagation.
We were putting up the 80m Yagi (after post winter reconstruction) in Friday
and everyone was tired in the evening. Of course bad idea, but there was no
time....
We were sort of confused of the propagation during nights, and also had
problems with 40m station - those were fixed in Sunday during the day.
I do believe our setup had potential well over 40M but due to our poor
operation during nights + problems with 40m - finished few M. less.
Everyone had FUN, most satisfactory weekend !

The best conditions in the contest since 2012 (started era of my SOSB 20m LP). I
have done more than 500 QSO than last year. Its greate work with super logging
functions of Win-test in the S&P mode (CTRL+ENTER e.t.c..).
Preparation and antenna installation took about 1 hour (Installation on the
balcony - http://files.qrz.com/a/ok6ra/Stribro.jpg). After 1,5 hours was ready
TRX and connection with Win-test.
I was little bit upset that no so many U.S. stations do not call CQ during the
contest on the 20m :-( I heard many U.S. stations with huge signals that called
another EU stations..But did not call me beacuse I have too weak signal for make
some space on the band :-(.
But even though called me on my CQ several "exotic" stations like:
9M8WAT,A61ZX,AL1G,D2QV,BY2AA,E20AE,JW8G,YE1NZ,VK2ND,VK3VTH,YE1NZ,ZL1Y,ZS6MAR,ZS6GRL,ZS1VV

COMMENTS:
Folks....lock in your memories of this past weekend....the conditions, 10
meters in particular, were truly spectacular. It has been decades since I've
heard stations from Asia (HS, XW, VU, UP, UN, 4L, etc.) sound so 'normal' and
loud. without a smidgen of polar flutter...... and very easy to work with low
power. The old axiom "no meters like 10 meters" was the theme of this
event.
While on the one hand we enjoyed great propagation, it effectively spread
everyone out, and to a degree lowered run rates, at least from this part of the
world. After many years of somewhat marginal propagation, the normal
concentrations of stations on a particular band at a particular time didn't
follow the expected patterns. Note to self: adjust operating tactics to meet
actual conditions.
Struggled with power line noise problems (multiple sources) that developed late
Thursday evening....triggered by a very brief rain shower....rendering the
beverage antennas virtually useless (it had not rained on Aruba for two months
so there is plenty of salt buildup on the power lines). Mercifully the noise
somewhat abated for a portion of the second night. I remain amazed by how well
the Elecraft K3 noise blanker and noise reduction features work.
The world-wide growth in the number of available Prefixes was certainly evident
this weekend....and welcomed. Thanks go to all of the normally 'non contesters'
for getting on the air to make so many multipliers available.
Looking forward to seeing many in the "contest family" at WRTC2014
this July.

As no one was using the P49V station this week-end i decided, with Carl's
blessing, to set up camp there for the week-end. Firstly I wanted to experience
the feeling to have multiple antennas in different directions during a contest
and secondly i wanted to know if my recent "home-repaired" FT2000D
would hold out under the stress of a contest.
The station worked great, its fun to have a stack of TH7's into Europe, another
stack of TH7's to the West Coast & Central part of the US and then the 4
element Steppir in Bi-mode to the East Coast and South America at the back!
Propagation was great (besides the short solar black-out on Saturday) but not
really to our advantage down South here. As the bands stay open a lot longer
into Europe the guys in the States have no real reason to turn the antennas
South, making it harder for us to have long consistant runs into the states.
Europeans were plentyfull, but there relative weaker signals makes it harder to
get high rate runs from Europe.
Anyhow, all things concidered it was a good contest, radio worked as it should
(and is still working!!) antennas performed nicely and i guess the total score
was not that bad.
Thanks to Carl & Sue, and all of you that worked me! W'll be back!!

The amazing conditions translated for me into a more difficult contest
experience and a lower score than the last time I did this contest, in 2012.
There were two adverse factors: First was the wall of EU QRM that made it
difficult to find and keep a clear frequency. Second was the fact that since
the US and EU could work each other at all hours on the high bands, our usual
late afternoon high-rate US runs were much weaker than normal.
I also made an unfortunate tactical choice to start out on 20 as in the past.
After several hours battling it out on that band, I worked 8P5A on 40, who gave
me a number that was literally 50% higher than mine. When asked how he did it,
Tom replied that he had started on 10. Oh well, if these condx ever return in
our lifetimes, I'll know better...
Related to the EU QRM issue is the tendency of many EUs to overdrive their
processors, which leads to audio distortion and splatter on adjacent
frequencies. Even the K3's superb filtering can't remove splatter that really
is in the passband. I kept asking one guy for repeats while guessing at his
call. Finally giving up in disgust, I returned to the pileup, whereupon
someone said: "Not even close!" The audio problems seem worse on
southern EU stations; in contrast virtually without exception UK and JA
stations had clean audio that could be understood even at very low signal
levels.
Thanks to all for the very impressive worldwide participation in this
contest. It was truly exciting to work 75 JAs (a very high total from here),
not to mention VUs on both 10 and 15 sounding like locals, and lots of other
interesting DX. Congratulations to neighbors P40W (W2GD) for a great LP score,
and P43A for a similar effort on SB15. As usual, thanks also to W6LD and W0YK

The PJ2T station has supported contest operations at championship levels for
many years. The team this year hailed from Canada, Germany and USA. The
Multi-Two category was selected based upon the number of operators available
this year.
Conditions can be described in this phrase: GREAT, but different than expected.
Band changes were made to match the conditions. The box score shows that 10
meters was THE band. 10 meters was so good that we saw slow periods on 15
meters at times during the daytime.
We have just had a long period of low sunspot conditions, so we need to
remember what high sunspot conditions are like. This is great!!
We watched "live" reporting during the contest and observed the UP2L
score carefully. Congratulations to Willy and the team for their victory. Willy
has always provided good competition from zone 17 for decades.
On a personal note: My first trip to Curacao was in 1974 along with N4RV. We
entered M/S as PJ9JR. The trophy is in the trophy case here at the PJ2T
station. It is hard to believe that 40 years have elapsed. We have moved from
tube radios and paper logs to radios with amazing performance along with
computer logging and the internet. Computer logging is certainly much better!
All of the operators here extend our best wishes to all our radio friends
around the world. At the dinner last night, we discussed how the championship
level activity has moved from Zone 9. This follows the increase in activity in
Zones 14, 15, 16 and 17. Building stations in zone 33 is quite a distance from
home for many, and we appreciate the dedication involved.

It looks like 10m was the place to be - and I was stuck on 20m! 20m is a real
ZOO.
I decided to operate 20m High-Power Assisted as it looked like the South
American record could be beaten. I could not operate for the full 36 hours as
20m is 'dead' for most of the day here in the tropics, but was so crowded in
the evening and at night it was difficult to find a clear run frequency and
impossible to hold it for long. I managed to beat the old record by about 2
million points but maybe someone else beat it with a larger margin?
I agree 100% with the comments made by P49V (AE6Y) on this reflector regarding
both the conditions and the over-driven distorted, splattery signals of many
south and especally eastern European stations. One Russian station in
particular had a very wide signal and at just over 3kHz away, where I was
attempting to operate, his signal was still S9+20dB here, nearly 10,000km away.
There's nothing wrong with STRONG signals, but his signal was extremely WIDE
too. Conversely, the JA and UK stations (also most PAs, ONs and Fs) had good,
easy-to-copy audio. I was able to operate quite happily for a couple of hours
less than 3kHz away from TO6C (M5RIC in Martinique, less than 1000km from here)
who was S9+40dB yet had an extremely clean signal.

Hello,
Nice contest in companion of our friends Ricardo-PY2PT(PX2F) and
Luciano-PY2SHF(ZV2K).
Due to maintenance reasons, I was on the 10 meter tower 30 minutes before
contest start to apply our Four Stack kit. After small dinner and 5 minutes to
start the contest, 20 meter band was totaly full from 14.125 to 14.350. Took
some time to find a small space without noise and operation started exact at
0:00 and this was my bad first hour in a contest with only 108 qsos. I
continued until 10:00Z with no stops and arrived in 830 qsos.
Due to my wife's birthday on Saturday, I returned home early in the morning and
was not possible to return to the contest anymore. At least was possible to have
fun for 10 hours.... :(
The last 25 S&P qsos was made one hour before end where we disassembled the
station together our friends.
Would like to congratulate our friend Claudio - PY3OZ (ZZ5T) by the good
performance from Boa Vista (PP5JR) station on the same band.

To all.
The propagation was disapoint after long time.
Almost 2 weeks before the propagation to North América was better and able to
work around 70 stations by night and in the contest no more than 100 NA was
work.
Good conditions to that Japan was Strong and get to work pacific too.

Strange 10m condx with stronger sigs on Sat and noiser band on Sun but easier to
work DX with FT1000MP and TH6DXX. No CQ replies so 85% S&P mults. I laughed
when sole YU YT0Z asked me to QSY from his freq instead of giving me serial
number after several calls. Even K3ZO was not easy this time. Amazed by strong
KL7RA and WL7E sigs over North Pole. VK/ZL worked and many JA both days. Also
West Coast and plenty of South Americans. I made extra 214 QSO on the other
bands. It was fun as I installed voice keyer this time. S56A recording was
easily copied. I guess I preffer RTTY and CW at ripe age of 69 reached two

Amazing propagation on high bands! 15m and 10m where so good that less time than
planned where spent on 20m. Good runs to NA and EU plus a couple of nice JA runs
kept the score meter spinning. Our goal was to beat our 2011 M/2 record and we
almost doubled the score.
W1UE joined the SE0X team via remote and after tweaking the codecs in Remoterig
the trans-atlantic connection worked quite well. Dennis operated quite a few
hours of the contest via remote and it worked so well that we consider inviting

What a blast! Even though we had a bit of dismantled crew we managed to get a
new Scandinavian record. SM2LIY had the worst back pain of his life and could
barely get out of bed at times, but still spent long shifts in the chair. We
had LB3HC who flew in from Oslo and helped us out and also SM2UVU came up to
make a 12h stint in the chair between being occupied by his regular work.
I was a bit dissapointed on Sunday morning of our score during Saturday, but
Sunday was so good that even though 40m was absolutely horrible up here we
could reach all our targets, which was 4800 QSOs, 1450 PFX and over 17 million
points. However there is no way to compete with our friends further south and
to the west with 40m in the shape it was. Propagations on 15 and 10 were
absolutely amazing most of the weekend. Because of the shortage in operators or
their health, we could not keep the "inband" station that does S&P
on the RUN band occuiped all the time. We had a MULT station hooked up but it
was barely used.
It was fun to have a Scandinavian team to battle with as well in OG9X, they had
almost caught up to us on Sunday morning but luckily we could pull ahead during
Sunday (cqcontest.net scoreboard is exciting).

the last parts working again. Meanwhile we threw in a Multi-TWO operation just
for fun to be able to work some great pileups with the current conditions. It
was a lovely combination, and the station is finally up and running for future

were hardly used anyway.

TNX all QSO's. Now I know, I definetely preffer SSB contests to CW.
Very different condx each day. Saturday - very distorted propagation, almost no
signals on the band till 5:00 UTC. Only abt 80 JA's wkd, than endless waiting
for NA opening, which started very late at 14:00 UTC and was limited to W1-4
area only. On the other hand - very good and very long (till 22:00 UTC) opening
to South America at the end of the day. The 230' deg separate antenna was a
winner.
On sunday condx were just great, more tha 200 JA's in the log and really good
opening to USA/VE, including West Coast. Late evening very good path over the
north pole to pacific, never expected to work T32 or E51 and so many KL7, KH6,
etc.
YV4NN was readable here since 7:00 UTC (!) till the end of the day, same as

What fun!
Never operated from this part of the world so this was all new for me,
propagation, bands to choose etc but had a ball. Mixed a holiday with the
contest and some casual operating too.
Great conditions on 10m, not sure what happened with 15, just could never get
going, usually went back to 10 or 20.
Nice to have some off time and get some rest, still don't know how some people
sit in a chair for 48 hours, this is a nice way to still get some sleep and be
competitive with other single ops, you don't feel like you are missing out by
sleeping as others will have to take a break too.

Very good team!
Mixed feelings about band CNDX, but I personally vote for an "A+",
since the hf bands were open over the N. pole almost round o'clock.
Great activity from the USA! That sure made the multiplier hunting an easy game
- the NA prefixes just never stopped filling our multiplier column.
Very few technical issues - TNX to the owner Grigori UN9LG for spending
countless man hours at the station along with other devoted amateurs (not all
of'em have c/s) before the contest!!!
Invalueble technical help by the team member R9IR while at a remote location
just prior to the contest and during the contest. Vlad R9IR is the team
computer Guru but unfortunately he couldn't afford a 2000 km trip to the city
of Kostanay from his home city of Tomsk this time. TNX, Vlad!
TNX all for making it into our logs! And for those that couldn't make it this

Time to get some practice. The QTH is still in the grip of Winter and the
destruction of last December still awaiting Spring!
The 15m yagi was working great from an RF standpoint but the rotor was still
out of action so all the QSO's were made with it NE except a dozen or so made
with the 40m sloping dipole (also oriented NE).
Father time was definitely a factor. My admiration to those that went for the
36hr limit. For all I know 15m might have been open for 24 hours but I couldn't
be there to enjoy it all. What time I did spend was fantastic with lots of Asian
surprises sneeking around the edge of the antenna.

Winds are dead calm two hours after the contest ended, but they were blustery
all weekend so the yagi was left at 27' for the contest.
I edged past my previous best from 2012 with fewer Qs but more mults, then
coasted almost to the finish on Sunday afternoon. Near the end 20M was
marginally open to Europe but it wasn't strong, and the band sounded noisy with
weak domestic signals, so I packed it in with a couple of hours remaining after
expending way too much energy getting the exchange across to a loud EC2
station. Band just wasn't playing well from this end.
The big X-1.0 flare at 1740z Saturday was amazing -- 15M was packed with
European needle-pinners and suddenly they were gone. I figured I had found a
supernaturally quiet frequency and started calling CQ with no takers. Didn't
realize we had been hit hard until I flipped the Steppir and worked half a
dozen W6 stations who commented that everyone had disappeared. Checked the
Space Weather Prediction Center to see the flare spike rising to a peak at
1748z, then rapidly falling off. And 15 minutes later, the band was back.
10M was in good shape for a while both days, but 15M was the money band all
weekend. 40M and 75M were better than last year, but not a lot of DX worked.
Made my first phone contact with EU on 75M on Saturday night with a magical
sudden path to G-land, though I heard no others.
DXCC count across all bands was up from 68 last year to 87 this year. Added at
least a couple of new band-slots.
I noticed contest protesters out in fine numbers, complaining about us idiots
using up all the bandwidth swapping numbers. Then after clearing 10 khz of
space for their old farts' net, they's swap local temp and precipitation stats,
number of goats on the porch, etc., and pretend their own version of inane
numbers was somehow of higher value. I laughed at that -- very entertaining to
take a break and listen to the uninformed (and apparently unable to Google)
wonder aloud, "what contest are they in, anyway?" To each their own,
but some guys just have no tolerance for anyone but themselves. Well, except
for livestock in the house.
Thanks for the contacts.

I don't think I have ever been so exhausted after a contest as I am this time.
The plan was to go hard as I had cleared the weekend of any other obligations.
The plan was to run SO2R and low power. I had been having problems with a relay
in my tower top switch that affected my 20/15/10 beam whenever it got cold.
Friday night the beam was working and I had 90minutes of a good run on 15m to
start the contest. In fact I took my first break at 7:30 and had managed to
average nearly 100Q per hr for the first night. Being low power, I focused on
running stateside on 40m instead of trying to compete for the EU/SA DX. I
figured 4 pointers and a good rate are better than 6 pointers at a much slower
rate.
Saturday was not a good day. It was much colder now and of course the relay was
not working. I decided that I had to climb the tower to do something about it so
off I went with the climbing gear with a 60km wind blowing and -5 temps. I
managed to bypass the switch but that meant my 40m beam was now unavailable and
I would have to rely on the ground mounted vertical for the second night.
20 and 15 took a long time to open. Signals were strong but I could not be
heard easily. The bands just died all of a sudden around noon Saturday.
Complete silence...very eery.
10m did not open until very late in the afternoon and I finally heard some big
EU multis on 10m but the path was skewed nearly 90 degrees and they were not
workable with 100W.
Very slow rates all day Saturday. trying to find a frequency to run was tough
enough, keeping it with 100W was impossible. I dont know how many times I found
what I thought was a useable frequency only to discover there was another
undetectable stateside station using it. Similarly I would be running and
someone would start running on the same frequency. What can you do...
Sunday the bands were much better. Actually managed to have a few decent runs
before loosing the frequency war. You point the beam stateside and the EU
stations move in to QRM you and you point towards EU and the stateside stations
move in. You can't win.
10m actually opened to EU as it should. Sometimes the rate was better
S&Ping than trying to run. So spent a lot of time spinning the dial. The
new firmware for the icom 7700 allows you to a mouse to point at a frequency on
the spectrum display and QSY directly there. A great feature for moving to the
best signals while scanning the band.
Now if we can somehow assign score reductions for bad audio quality. With all
the SDR recordings, it would take some doing but a sample of each station
could be reviewed and assign a quality factor. Deductions for distorted or
excessive bandwidths could be assigned. I am sure the excessive bandwidth is
deliberate and just used to provide a guardband against others encroaching.
Have your ears stopped ringing yet? See you next time!

The team for this contest consisted of six YL's with the experienced ops working
with the not so experienced ops resulting in a fun weekend. Fortunately the
bands were open to many DX prefixes and the YL's had great fun working some
countries they had not worked before, there was excitement and a lot of map
checking!
We found 10 and 15 meters to be the very best bands for us and only had a very
small opportunity to work 40 meters and no opportunity to work 80 or 160 as we
did not operate during the night time hours.
When the idea of a YL only operation was suggested we considered a smaller
contest like a QSO party or something like that. However when it was discussed
the YL's wanted something that would provide more activity so the CQ WW WPX SSB
contest was chosen. This proved to be a good choice as the level of activity
provided for a fun and rewarding weekend in ham radio and a lot of smiling
folks here at IO's

My first Contest after about 8 years of QRT.
Very happy to meet all the old friends!!!
No more from Lampedusa Isl (IG9) or Cape Verde (D4) but from my new QTH in Peng
Chau Island in Hong Kong (I moved definetively here with my wife one year ago).
During the last two months here in HK we have had a really beautiful and spring
weather but... no way.. after only a few hours that the contest has begun...
static rain, lightning and... strong thunderstorm during ALL week end!!
Hours and hours with S7 to S9 of QRN and a few hours where i have had to switch
off the radio and to disconnect the cable of my 3 el. monoband yagi because i
live in the top of the hill of my small Island...
I set a minimum target of 2500 QSO with my barefoot RTX power but i wasn't be
able to reach it.
I hope to have time to prepare a station a little bit more competitive for the
next CQWW SSB and i hope also to have a new Callsign. To use Victor Radio Two
portable Italy Victor Three Tango Alfa November... it's really a
tongue-twister.

I was at my NH QTH and decided to get on for a few hours on Friday night and
Saturday as I was traveling back to my California QTH on Sunday. I was really
surprised how well a 12 foot high vertical can do about 15 feet from my house
and ground mounted. I never noticed the signal deterioration that others have
mentioned. Except for 30 minutes on 15 meters, all contacts were S&P. I
found a clear frequency on 15 meters and decided to call CQ and had a 30 minute
run before it petered out. This is the first time that I have ever operated the
WPX and I enjoyed it.

Call: W1WBB Class: SO(A)SB10(TS) LP Total Score = 1,076,654
Epic conditions for 10m on this contest weekend -- arguably the very best of
this solar cycle. With daytime hours available, I pursued new mults as much as
possible via S&P. Fewer than 15% QSOs made 'running' - other than a nice
run of mostly Eu (55 QSOs) Sunday I couldn't generate much interest with the W1
pfx using 100w to the Hexbeam. Was great to be called by VU2, TO7 (Mayotte) and
lots of other new pfx's though.
The big solar flare that struck Sat. afternoon local time created significant
S7 level QRN for about 1 hr and degraded all sigs - only big guns being heard
so took a break. Very heavy rains here Sun. put water in basement so lost
add'l time with clean-up.
Eu opened a bit earlier and stronger Sunday with Russia/Ukraine stns worked
while nothing was heard from there Day 1. Frustrating to hear some
U.K./EI-area mults go unworked as they were CQ'n away barely audible but in the
noise just short of my skip zone. Was amazing how late and how loud Eu came in
both days allowing for many more mults/Qs.
A few JAs were worked Friday eve, none were heard Sat., but the Sunday Asia
opening was incredible. Close to 40 JAs and 1 BY worked (many 1st call!) to
close things out on a high note. In addition many SA pfxs available both days
and nice to work them so easily this weekend as big hills just south of me
normally make that more difficult.
I guess this is as good as it gets on 10m in a contest!
Thanks to all for the Q's & mults and the sponsors for a great event.

***************************************************
For me this was the contest of contests. This is over three times my best
previous score in this contest from home.
I worked a number of stations that I usually only work after waiting hours in a
DX-Pedition pile-up like OD5ZZ, 9K2HN, TC3D, 3V8BB and 4L8A. Also others like
BV, 9M4, EA9, Antarctica, and several in each of zones 18, and 29.
But my best Q was on Sunday morning when I came across a weak TO7BC CQing in
the clear, many KHz from the nearest station. He came right back and told me he
was on Mayotte. He had no callers, so I actually went on-line and spotted him
...without looking at any of the spots!
I slept 5 hours each night and worked the clock so I had 35.8 hrs op time. This
works well for me at age 74. I did take off 20 minutes or so several times for
meals that are not counted in "off time".
My DXCC was 87 because I failed to get some easy Caribbean, Central America,
and Europe countries. My WAZ was 31. 44% of my Qs were in Europe, very high for
me from out here in San Diego which says something about conditions.
I tried CQing late on Sunday and worked 13 Qs in 22 minutes. That was very
good, but all USA so I went back to S&P for the "off continent" Q
bonus.
I still badly miss going to operate at TI5N and I wish Keko (TI5KD)a continued
recovery and all the best in the world.
73, and see you all at the end of May!

One of my favorite contests but least favorite mode.
I don't know what is worse - waiting for stations to ID or having stations with
such processed, overdriven, crappy audio ID but you can't understand what they
are saying.
Signals were really loud Friday and Saturday nights on 20, but a lot of the big
guns from Europe had REALLY crappy audio. Seems like this should be addressed
but the CC. Just takes a few to ruin it for a lot.

Had a "semi-serious" attempt, couldn't work the entire weekend. When
I saw how close I came to breaking 1M points, I cringed - only needed another
25Qs!!! But had a blast as usual! 80 & 40 were not good Friday or
Saturday nights, bad thunderstorms here in Central Florida. Had S9 noise on
both - also ditto on 160M, could not make a QSO from the noise. But the
daytime 10/15/20 were open and fabulous! Most of my Qs only took one call,
maybe two. Only had a handful had to make repeated calls (all of my Qs were
S&P, not one run). I worked 450+ prefixes, that sez a lot from a LP

I was going to do single-band 15, but got bored with it and hopped over to ten
meters mid-morning Saturday. Ten was a lot more fun - unpredictable and with
less QRM. After a while, I started to feel silly - me a grown 70-year-old man
shouting into a microphone. I decided to pack it in after 1000 Q's and a
million points.
The X1 flare at 1748Z on Saturday was spectacular on the panadapter time
history display. I wish I had thought quickly enough to freeze the display and
take a screen shot. The background noise came up from dark blue to bright
yellow over the entire width of the 10 meter band, then went back down to dark
blue over a 20 second period. Afterwards, signals were much much weaker, but
rebounded after a while.

For many years I have opted out of this real-time SSB radio game. However, I
made an exception this year as another excuse to further delay filling/filing
my federal income tax forms. Despite my ‘un-timely’ OFF times due to a
local Friday night community-wide power outage and the loss of several hours on
Saturday due to inclement weather with nearby lightning strikes, I did my best
to make the most of it without 160 or 75 meters and very little time on 40
meters. Missed my 1k Q goal. If there is a next time, I’ll likely go High

rotors, etc.) so then I was out of contesting since that event. Last year I
started to work contests from Pedro NP4A station and then I thought in build
something at my station. Thanks to Pedro NP4A, Papo KP4TG,Tony and my Dad NP4CW
to help me build up my antennas and repair all the equipment my station need to
be up again. Know I have something simple; the important is to be on air again
and enjoy.
I think was perfect to test my new antennas and radios in the WPX, thanks
everyone for the qso’s and hope to hear you in the next contest. 73’

We usually operate as W7TVC but decided to pick a more attractive prefix for
this one.
What can we say that hasn't already been said? Three cheers for ten meters!
Many thanks to hosts Mike K7CIE, Emily, and the cats for hospitality and use of
the station, plus walking on the keyboard while we were trying to log contacts.

WHAT A BLAST!!!
Ran this entire contest with the express goal of testing N1MMLogger+
in the heat of battle, having LOADS fun and getting most of our little
group together (Central Connecticut Contesters - a local club that
entirely consists of YCCC members) for a fun weekend. Conditions went
from fantastic to horrible (solar flare Saturday, mid-day) to great and
back to extremely noisy.
Everything worked well, no issues other than the heavy rain static and
a noise that appeared on 10 meters above 28.600 and a headset that
became intermittent in one earpiece.
Our results were the highest QSO total of any contest ever done from
here! 3023 QSOs SOAPBOX: including 24 dupes from a single transmitter
of which 2999 counted towards the log. (Trust me we did TRY top get
that last one to make it 3000!) :-)

Wow, wow, wow! Conditions were similar to ARRL SSB with high band activity all
night long.
We had a great team assembled and no major hiccups with the station. Could have
used a couple more ops though.
Thanks to everyone for their participation and patience at times.
See ya'll in Dayton, then it's WPX CW.

Incredible band conditions and a great group of operating friends combined to
make this one of the most memorable and FUN WPX events in the lifetime of
WX3B.
Earlier this year I reviewed the WPX record set by KM3T and his team in 2000
and dreamed about breaking it. It would take unusually good band conditions on
all high bands, and reasonable conditions on the low bands to have a chance to
do it from my own station.
Team WX3B came together nicely and we had an excellent blend of regulars and
fresh blood at my station. We had times where there were more bodies than
radios, and lean times near the end when we couldn’t staff all the radios.
We had wind induced power line noise on Friday night. We had snow static for a
good portion of Sunday afternoon and evening, yet the WX3B operators rose to
every challenge and kept moving forward!
On Saturday Rick NQ4I suggested our team subscribe to the CQ contest on-line
scoreboard, so we did, and that itself was an event within the event. There
was a 3 way race for first place (well of those that subscribed….we shall see
if there were others!) and while Rick’s team maintained a narrow lead, K9CT
and WX3B kept trading positions. My hat is off to Rick for his victory
�" on the heels of major ice damage and rebuilding of his station in
record time to get ready for WPX. It is also an amazing feat that Craig, K9CT
built a station that competes so well from the mid-west….their signals have a
lot further to travel to reach EU! Craig’s team pulled ahead of us to claim
second place (on the scoreboard) within minutes of the contest end. What a
THRILL!!
Team NQ4I was the first to break the claimed USA record, quickly followed by
team K9CT, and eventually team WX3B. What an incredible weekend on the bands
to support this type of activity.
10 meters was the big story at WX3B…finally getting a REAL band opening to
EU, and one that lasted until 6:00pm before looking toward Asia/VK/ZL each
night. The Asian band opening seemed to go on forever Friday night and the EU
opening was delayed several hours Saturday morning….however it did open and
was good for many QSOs. Of course Sunday’s opening was earlier and EUs were
audible by 6:00am. 15 meters had EUs audible throughout the night! 20 meters
just never closed, EUs and Asians were being worked 24 hours per day…though
the hours from 7:00am to noon were PAINFUL on 20. Sunday was particularly
slow; it was hard even getting USA stations to respond….however that was a
necessary strategy…work USA when EU could not be worked….I should have
thought about that earlier in the contest.
The SID (flare) kept us on our toes and one operator asked me to come down and
inspect 20 meters because “it just DIED”…fortunately a quick look at
Facebook confirmed we were not alone. Taneytown, MD literally had a cloud over
it for most of Sunday afternoon and evening and a freak hail/snow/sleet storm
kept our noise floor on the high bands > 10dB / 9. My apologies to all of
our friends who thought we were deaf most of Sunday….I can assure you…we
WERE!
40 meters was in excellent form most of the weekend and we were treated to a
nice Asian opening Sunday morning…it was fun packet chatting with KD4D to
keep ourselves motivated during the slow times �" and we were rewarded
with some excellent DX.
80 meters seemed to have good propagation however there was a lack of density
of stations to work. I am quite sure the STELLAR high band conditions
suppressed activity on the low bands. 160 was almost totally ignored this year
at WX3B.
I want to thank each of the WX3B team members for making this such a memorable
contest, particularly Sid NH7C who became the station manager each evening when
I had to depart my station in favor of family activities. A special thanks is
due to my YL Elizabeth, who furnished much of the food for our weekend event.
So the question now is….does anyone think we might have a shot at conditions
like this….NEXT YEAR???
Very 73,

This is the one for rate junkies.
20 meters never closed to Europe...literally open
around the clock, and 10 meters was, well, 10 meters!
I missed all day Saturday, but still beat my all-time
best score in this contest by a long way.

Several records are indeed squashed, and this contest will be fondly remembered
for many years!
Hardware: FT-1000MP + AL800H
Antennas: rotable 3 ele yagi @75 ft heigh and fixed 3 ele yagui, aimed to the
caribbean.
Objectives were to double the previous XE record for the SO 10M HP (A)
category and work at least 80 DXCCs
Despite a 20 minutes late start, I was able to find a run frequency that
yielded 249 QSO's, most of them Asia and stateside.
The previous XE record fell easily on the first operating hours -just shy of
the
band closing at 0357z ( Friday 9:57 PM local time).
The band started to open at 1220z; baut it was until 1229 that I worked the
1st european (EE3A)it
was a strange, because they are normally the last ones I work.
Poor runs sateside (<60/hr) lead me to change to S&P, checking spots
and doing a band sweeps.
The strategy remained the same for the rest of the test, interleaved with very
short runs, and constantly
looking for mutipliers.
Notes:
- Worked DXCC
- Sunday was much better than Saturday
- on Sunday it was the 1st. time -since I was licensed (22 years ago), that I
heard a SSB VU station ( 5/8 strong),
but decided to harvest other mults, instead of spending too much time on
the ensuing monster pile-up .
- The 2Megs score was reached on Sunday at 1916z
- Best personal result ever -on a monoband category.
- Glad to work XE1H Multiplier on ground wave, and also local fellow contesters
XE2AA and XE2AI
Objectives accomplished, thanks for the Q's !

I was planning to enter the contest as SOAA. So as the contest started at 1.00
pm local time here in New Zealand, I began on 10 meter.
Conditions were FANTASTIC, so I could not change band. At 11 pm the band was
still open and I was still working Europe. Because of the 36 hours rule, I
decided to have my time off when the band will close.
This happen at about midnight! While I had a rest, I left the radio on 28.200
and waited until I could hear the beacon again which happened at around 6.00 am
(beaming USA).
I started again and worked all day until midnight (when the band died)! Living
once again the radio on to the beacon, amazingly I could hear it at the same
time the next morning….
I did not have such good conditions on Ten for ages, it just sounded like we
were back in the early 80’s. The band was so consistent for the 48 hours of
the contest.
I could not believe how many stations were telling me they were QRP running 5
watts or mobile!
I had a lot of fun, I can assure you. I am now looking forward to the next
contest and hopefully have the same conditions.
Thanks again to Ken, ZL1AIH for is kind hospitality.

Great conditions expecially on the high bands. 10m seemed to get all the
attention and the lower bands at times were dried out. I could call for ages
with out any response on a wide open band. the effect of cluster spots was
again extreme.
I had some trouble with the head set casing a hum. Sorry for that but I have no
other mike and could not find the cause.
