K3MTRSO LP ALLGrateful to be a part of this historic contest! Tnx es FB to all!
K3QIASO HP ALLUsed Digirite and WriteLog and it worked very well!
K3SSSSO LP 40MOperating Remote from RHR W1/Athens FN54, K3 100W OCF dipole at 100ft Conditions were horrible. Saw a lot of familiar call signs
K3WHDSO LP ALLThis is my other radios log
K4QDSO HP ALLI operated using wire antennas. Due to Hurricane Dorian most local hams were taking down antennas and our local W4MLB club station (Melbourne, FL) cancelled a planned M/2 operation. Most of our members live on the barrier islands or within 10 Km of the Atlantic Ocean in the path of the hurricane. Due to band conditions and wire antennas, I decided to operate high power. Station: ICOM IC-7300 with Ameritron AL-80B at 300 watts Antennas: 20M = Delta Loop, 80/40/15 = Radio Works Super Loop Logging: N1MM+ and WSJT-X, which worked perfectly. Thanks AA5AU for excellent configuration instructions. I worked both FT-4 (225 contacts) and FT-8 (82 contacts) Thanks for the contacts es 73, Jan K4QD
K4SQCSO LP ALLGreat contest - wish the upper bands had been open!
K4WWSO HP ALLActivity, and efficiency of operators, exceeded my expectations
K4XUSO LP ALLConditions were poor even for this low spot in the cycle
K5ZDSO HP ALLLots of learning going on. We need to define some contesting protocols for Digi. Especially for FT4 where there is so little time to react
K6DAJSO LP ALLWas only able to operate the first 5.5 hours of the contest. My rate was abysmal and I don't fully understand why. The situation was much worse than any normal FT8/4 operating I have done. It was either due to really bad conditions or perhaps some confounding of the WSJT-X software as a result of more signals than usual. I tried changing mode, band, frequency, antenna direction, time slice, contest mode, anything. I tried howling at the moon and cursing at the sun, to no avail
K6TDSO LP ALLFrustrating. Didn't seem to decode signals as well as hoped. There were highlights though. ZW5B called me on 80m. Few technical problems. Digirite (from W5XD) TX signal into a 6700 was badly distorted. Restart of digirite cured that. Message sequencing didn't always work out. Sometimes, I wished for message function keys, so I could drive the QSO myself. I called CQ mostly on the odd cycle. When I would switch to the even cycle, seemed like digirite Few issues to work out before RTTY RU. I'd regard this as a beta run of an FT4 contest. Remote operation - @K6MTU Tks for the QSOs! 73, K6TD
K6UMSO HP ALLNever called so many stations in a contest without a response
K6XNSO HP ALLThanks all!! See you next year in the pileups. 73, Ted, K6XN
K7VICSO LP ALLDN28UH
K7VITSO HP ALLI started this interesting contest. Before long my software and hardware had a disagreement with irreconcilable differences. So here is my log for data validation purposes. Thanks to WWROF and to SCC for sponsoring this contest
K7XCSO LP 20MParticipated to help out the club score. Compared to RTTY I found the FT4 mode Tedious at best having to pay hyper attention optimizing the exchanges while wasting no time between Qs. The Joy Of running High Rate with a simple click, return, pause, return, repeat was gone! The need of close concentration for this type of contesting seems to be more than I am willing to invest my time and effort into. FT8 is great for DXing but the faster FT4 to me is a bust if I cant enjoy it. Watching the club reflector with hundreds of s devoted to trying to correctly integrate N1MM+ & WSJT-X into a foolproof Operating Suite convinced me to not even try. I ran WSjJT-X alone and used the built-in log to 'sorta manage not making dupes'. I have no idea what my final score is and hope this upload utility will calculate it for me
KA2YRASO LP 40MThanks for the excellent contest. 73
KB2HSHSO QRP 40MHAD A GREAT TIME USING FT4! 73 DE FN02!
KC0RFSO HP ALLWhat a blast!
KC3KFWSO LP ALLGreat Contest! Thanks!
KC7VSO LP ALLA little fun to check out the new contest

KG4WSO HP ALLThanks for putting on contest
KG5RJSO LP ALLI noticed my run rate for FT8 was better than that on FT4
KJ7GUISO LP ALLRookie
KK4BZSO LP ALLequipment=TS570S, antenna=G5RV dipole at 10 m in trees, Thanks for the fun!
KM4CQG/PSO QRP ALLQRP KX3 Crank IR Solar Power
KM4FSO LP ALLQuit early because N1MM/WSJT dupe checks were not working
KM8VSO LP ALLNice job by the organizers on the inaugural WW DIGI test. I thought there would be a lot more stations on the air, but I had a good time. Some kinks to work out, I think on the exchages / software side. Took a break to go watch Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back with the Cleveland Orchestra playing the score with my harmonics, and to sleep. Spent more time in the chair than I expected I'd be able to. 73 de KM8V - Black River Radio Ops
KS7TSO HP ALLAfter 63 yrs on the air only my 2nd day ever on digital modes and used the contest to get used to how the wsjt-x software works. Did the nay-sayers about a digtal contest ever think how useful a learning tool the contest would be?
KV4ZYSO LP ALLCasual operating just for fun
LC6CSO LP ALLNice to participate in the first WW Digi DX Contest. Operations ran fairly smoothly, with most participants up to speed on the rules and settings. The solar storm gave us bad conditions on 60 deg N. Only worked a handful of DX stations, while 100 W and a resonant wire antenna should reach around the globe. Will be back next year
LX7ISO HP ALLLog sent in 3 minutes after the contest - thanks for this new contest!
M0LMKSO LP ALLMy first digi modes contest. Manyn thanks for the contacts!
N0AXSO LP ALLVarious and sundry Murphy Bites in my butt!
N0ODKSO LP ALLMostly trying out contest with new mode on lowbands. Seems like lot of stations going after a few with high points only instead of working eachother
N1ENSO LP ALLI wish more FT* ops would remember that their rigs have big knobs and there are frequencies other than the watering holes. Having said that...had some nice runs when I could get a spot at the main trough
