| K1DC | SO LP ALL | I had multiple conflicting events this weekend so my radio time was very limited. I did hop on where I could to hand out a few points. I look forward to the next one! |
| K2RET | SO HP ALL | Yaesu FTdx-3000, Acom1500 @ 700w, Force 12 C4 & wires for 80 & 160m |
| K4OTX | SO LP ALL | First WW-Digi |
| K4QD | SO LP ALL | First time in four years I participated in the WW-DIGI. Time was somewhat limited due to family commitments. Enjoyed the contest and the great participation even though I only had my IC-7300 and a 40M EFHW antenna |
| K5IFA | SO LP 10M | This was the fourth WW-DIGI contest for me, and it was great fun again! Many thanks to the organizers and to all who worked me! 73! |
| K5VIP | SO HP ALL | 100% S&P |
| K5ZD | SO LP ALL | Only part time. Conditions seemed good. Activty was excellent. FT8 always seemed more productive than FT4 |
| K6MTU | M2 | We are pleased to exceed our M2 score from last year, which set the World M2 Record. Equipment problems this year will probably mean we aren't first in M2 and no new record for us. We had a good start on 80m and 40m, considering it was 5 AM in the morning local time, and only dedicated contesters and the late night Asian operators were on. As daylight arrived we moved up to 20m/10m and 15m. 10 hours in, the amplifier failed for 20m and 10m - long before we had completed our fill. The amp had been 'indicating' strange, but had been putting our RF just fine up to then. The 15m amp was fine, so we continued with a lop-sided KW and 100w M2 operation. We got to 40m perhaps a bit late, and had a high rate of 1-point contacts. 80m struggled with only 100w. At 20 hours in, decode problems started, and one radio stopped transmitting. Only one operator was running both stations, so he got distracted from rate trying to solve the problems. We limped to the finish line with a new record score for us, but probably 2nd place in M2. The other 'technical equipment' worked fine, the VPN, station-site PC, logging, Antennas, switches, filters, rotators, ... Thank you K6TD for the work this summer to keep things running. Thank you for the contacts! K6TD Kevin K6UFO Mark ND2T Tom NN6U John W0YK Ed from the mighty K6MTU station on Mt.

| K7STO | SO LP 20M | really enjoyed the contest |
| K7SYS | SO LP 20M | I really enjoy this event! Keep it up and made add another? |
| K8LF | SO HP ALL | Glad to work the contest. As always the sequence between non-contester is a problem however, its better then it used to be. Working FT4 was the way to go. FT8 just seemed way to slow |
| K9QH | SO LP ALL | My first FT8 contest, usually do RTTY or CW. Was a learning experience but had a good time! Thanks |
| K9SAT | SO LP ALL | Too many contest this weekend! Good effort for two hours of op time |
| KB7IJ | SO HP ALL | CHECK LOG... no score |
| KD4RH | SO LP 20M | Very limited operating time. 1 hour. 70 watts, 20m inverted vee at 50 feet |
| KH6RDO | SO LP ALL | Ran in contest during Hurricane Hone while experiencing multiple power outages and running on auxiliary power |
| KI5PED | SO LP ALL | I only operated for about an hour and a half because I was out of the house most of Saturday. Still, it felt good to dust off the FT8 setup after several months of not using it. Propagation seemed very good on 20 and 40 (around 09:00 UTC) with +1 dB or greater signals from multiple VK stations! Mates, are you all running Yagis or QRO down under? TNX to everyone I worked, especially VK, J, and ZL for those sweet distance bonus points. 73 |
| KN6OKY | SO QRP ALL | Fantastic conditions and I was thrilled to get more QSO's into the log. Many thanks for all that worked me or answered my QRZ. Looking forward to next year |
| KO2THF | SO LP ALL | First WW Digi contest! |
| KQ4THI | SO LP 10M | First Contest! |
| KQ4Y | SO LP ALL | Note that per the rules, I reside in Florida. I was operating, from Florida, a station located in NY |
| KR7D | SO HP ALL | Thank you for the QSOs |
| KS7T | SO LP 20M | I really would like sig reports for exchange rather than grid but put in the rules to include grid when calling stns or cq Reason is only could work a handful of Eu. stns but saw much more So would help to know how my 100w. is doing in the poor cndx |
| KT0P | SO LP 15M | A few QSOs while 15M was fading out |
| MM1Z | SO LP ALL | Thanks for the contest! |
| N1EK | SO HP ALL | Many thanks to the organizers! Seemed to be more participation this year! |
| N1KT | MM | Everyone enjoyed this contest. We plan on operating every year |
| N4IW | SO LP ALL | I put in a fairly serious effort on this one though I had an obligation that took me out for quite a bit of prime 40-meter time Friday evening. My goal was to do better than last year which I accomplished. Going up against high power stations that have directional and/or other superior antennas is challenging for sure, but I am content with my station right now. Last year I had 279 contacts and this year I had 300. Last year my score was 20,925. This year I understood the scoring better and worked hard on getting Multipliers and longer distance contacts, so my score was well over double at 56,547. I definitely enjoy FT4 more than FT8. I don?t understand why more people don?t work FT4 since it?s twice as fast. There were loads of people operating not in the contest so quite a few contacts got stuck in a seemingly endless loop. I discovered that if I forced my system to send the RR73 after the necessary contest exchange was completed, it would force his system to send the 73 and end the contact with everybody?s computer happy. I knew about the ?Right Click H? toggle feature in WSJT-X 2.7.0 RC6, but I don?t have RC6 loaded. Had I known there would be so many on frequency, not in the contest, I would have loaded it. I was fortunate to work many PVRCers including the following Central Virginia PVRC members: NN4RB, K4XL, and W1IE on 3 bands. Thanks for the Qs! |
| N8VW | SO LP ALL | Remote from my living room. Many episodes of Star Trek where watched during this operation |
| N9OK | SO HP ALL | First time operating in the WW Digi contest. Had setup issues for the first several hours so got a late start. Overall it was pretty fun. Turns out I like FT4 more than FT8, due to the much higher pace |
| N9TCA | SO HP ALL | I really appreciate the SMC Championship Medals program for the motivation to plan out a year of contesting with a goal. This was the first contest I selected to put in a serious effort towards a specific points count. Nineteen more points to go :-) This was maybe only my second time seriously using the FT modes and I can see it can be addicting. FT4 was way more fun than 8 because you couldn't get distracted waiting for the next cycle. Funny how seconds matter. Thanks to all the SMC'er (and everyone) in the log. Now on to ARRL VHF |
| NA5M | SO LP ALL | Icom 7300 ' 40,80m iv @60' Great contest, thanks. Lots of activity this year. I stayed busy all 24 hours making mistakes. Mostly S&P hunting multipliers. Worked about 10% FT4 |
| NL8F | SO HP ALL | This was a fun one I wish I had more time for it Tim |
| NN7O | SO LP ALL | That was fun! hadn't tried a Digi contest before . . |

| OE1VMC | SO LP 40M | ANT: Wideband Folded Dipole (WBFD) at 6m AGL |
| OE1XTU | M2 | First time trying as team with two transmitters. We recommend Multi OP operation because it's more fun that you can teach, learn and discuss while working the contest. Also, a single operator can easily work two bands simultaneously |
| OH1TM | SO HP ALL | My 1st ever WW digi! Thanks! |
| OK2SWD | Checklog | GOOD CONTEST. SEE YOU AGAIN FRIENDS. TCVR: YAESU FT-897d 5 W, ANT: GP, |
