KG7MYXSO LP ALLVery great contest. First time, HAD FUN!
KI7PMQSO LP ALLFirst time entering this contest. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I would of strategized a bit more for dx and different bands. But looking forward to doing so next year. 73 and all the best, Bennie KI7PMQ
KJ7RGWSO HP 20MFIRST CONTEST
KK4ZWCSO LP 20MThis was my first digital contest from my home QTH. I didn't get all the software installed and working in time to use it so I just ran WSJT-X by itself. It was a lot of fun an FT4 is awesome for this kind of contest. I'm looking forward to many more of these contests
KK7LEWSO LP ALLThanks
KK7MASO LP ALLocfd @ 25ft, icom-ic7300
KN7DSO HP ALLThis was a very fun contest! I had a great opening into Oceania with very strong signals. I picked up several new grids and one new band-country with 9J2BS on 40 meters. Africa is not usually very easy from the Intermountain Area of the Western USA. I did not hear very many EU stations which was disappointing. Thank you for your invitation to participate in the contest. de kn7d
KO4MBNSO LP ALLThis was my first amateur radio contest
KO4NMTSO LP 20MFirst time operating in the WW-DIGI Contest.. Enjoyed.. Hopefully next year I'll have a little more time to work stations
KO4RJESO LP 40MReally enjoyed this contest, I just wish I hadn't had to work so I could have worked more stations. Already looking forward to next year's contest. Thanks KO4RJE
KV4ZYSO LP ALLCasual operating just for fun
KX7LSO LP ALLI had hope for some action on 10 and 15m for this contest, but it was not to be the case. So 20m was the workhorse band, although even conditions there seemed weak. However I was surprised to see 20 stay open well after sunset. I probably lingered there too long, but the 3 and 4 point QSOs and new grid fields were too alluring. Thanks for all the QSOs!
LA5PPASO LP ALLMiserable conditions and far too many with poor control of ALC settings
LA9RYSO LP ALLLess FT4 activity than expected. FT4 is quick and efficient, but many operators stick to FT8. More strong stations than usual, probably due to the High Power class. And many of us used WSJT (WEAK signals Joe Tailor) - including many og the QRO guys. Good path to SA and partly NA Saturday afternoon and evening. Worked family-style with 50w and horizontal loop
LC0ASO LP 80MGreat to take part in WW-DIGI for 1st time
LU8EDASO LP ALLFun contest!
LV5VSO LP 15MNice Contest good only 24 hrs. Best 73 LU5VV
LX1HDSO HP ALLsee you next 2023, mn tnx 73
M0TZZSO HP ALLEnjoyed it - Saturday better than Sunday. Pity about the people who don't select 'Hold Tx Freq' and steal your QRG
N0LSRSO LP ALLThe exchange was confusing many stations and also the software required constant manual override. (FTDX). WSTJ-X had a hard time too, if a station didn't actively participate in the contest
N0STLSO LP 20MGreat Contest
N1APISO LP ALLSo many stations with no grid square programmed or not in contest mode on Sub Frequencies. Whoops forgot contest ends a 1200 UTC rather than 1159 UTC
N3AMLSO LP ALLConditions not too bad Lots of fun in a short amount of time
N4IWSO LP ALLLove this contest! Loads of fun!
N4RRRSO LP ALLKenwood TS-490S Ant 160m Horizontal Delta loop
N4TLSO HP ALLFirst time I used N1MM with WSJT-X. It all worked okay
N5ZYSO LP ALLThis was fun! Thank you for hosting this contest. The space weather minor radio blackout seemed more than minor to me.. I had a hard time making QSOs to EMEA and APAC. 100w IC-7610 to 43ft vertical and DXE-HEXX-5TAP-2 (in attic) alternating antennas to see which one had the necessary angle
N6JSOSO LP ALLNice operation from home this time. Bands were long, but lots of noise on 20m from my QTH. I really like that the contest works for QSO with both contesters and regular FT8 operators
N7UVHSO LP ALLOne of my favorite conests. Gets bigger each year. great contest for new contesters
N7VGOSO HP ALLGreat contest! One of the few where you can do real good at S&P, just be patience and it will happen. Now that I have a logging program that works well in this test, I'll do better NEXT year!
N8URESO QRP 10MRS-HFIQ radio, 10 m dipole
N9GQASO LP 20MEquipment :Flex 6500 (100W) WSJT-X SteppIR DB18E Tough propagation but FT8 always shines in the worst conditions. A tremendous amount of operators need to learn the proper operation of the FT8 mode and that would help reduce the large amounts of bad signals and just plain downright interference to other operators
NA5MSO LP ALLSeemed to be more ops and better band conditions than last year. Hope to have a decent antenna up for next year. Still a lot of dupes
NF7ESO LP ALLBusy, exciting 24 hours with antenna issues, computer issues, rain, thunder and lightning so had to disconnect a few times, but still had fun! C U Next year!
NK8OChecklogSending for a courtesy as a checklog
NL7RSO LP ALLFun digi contest. I was surprised at activity on 80m. I worked 80, 20 and 15 meters
NL8FSO HP ALLThis was a lot of fun had a hard time keeping awake
NN6NNSO HP ALL100% FT4
NN7SSSO QRP 15MMy second callsign and operation in the contest. The North American Record for SO QRP 15m was only 8 QSOs! Even I could beat that. I configured my SO2R system for K6UFO on 10m and NN7SS on 15m. I was somewhat limited in changing even/odd cycles by the SO2R lockout, having to change both bands. Aargh! Several times the software wouldn't keep my callsign separate on 15m and reverted to K6UFO. I wasted at least an hour of QSOs throughout the contest when I didn't notice quick enough. Also the identification of Mults got messed up, probably due to the same problem, so I wasn't able to see Mults well. Operating from WA is not ideal for 10m or 15m. 10m managed 16 QSOs in 7 hrs. 15m lasted longer and better with 79 QSOs in 9 hrs. I worked anybody who could hear my QRP signals. I chased hundreds of JAs and YBs with only a dozen successes. Don't ask about the 'rate.' In the end, I beat my targets of 'any' Qs on 10m and 'more than 8' Qs on 15m - but I don't think I'm winning any plaques! NN7SS (K6UFO) 15m: GXP 3-el at 72ft Flexradio 6600 at 5 watts Writelog and DigiRite software
NP3VSO LP ALLTNX 73
NY6DXSO HP ALLWonderful contest. New W2 call record
OE1GAQSO LP ALLAnother fun ww digi contest, thank you for all the contacts
OE4MQWSO LP ALLWSJT-X Version 2.5.4 using digital modes FT8 and FT4 all band EFHD 40m length
OH3MASO LP ALLDue to a CAT control failure QSO with LX1HD at2022-08-28 0238 may have a wrong frequency/band 80m as it could be 40m. If it is wrong could you remove a NIL from LX1HD results, please. Otherwise it was all fun
OH4MFAChecklogSpent night sleeping outdoors for finnish nature day celebration. Pulled hundred meters coax from vertical antenna to campsite. Using Xiegu G90 with about 15 watts output. Laptop battery lasted less than two hours. Could manage only one FT4 QSO. No answers to my CQs and can't see anyone calling CQ WW

OK4YLSO HP ALLThank you ALL, my very first DIGI contest. 73/88 Alena
OM4KKSO LP ALLMany people working especially FT8 did not understand the method of establishing QSOs and demanded confirmation of the GRID report
OM8CDSO LP ALLTCVR IC-7300 40 Watts Ant EFHW 8010 180m above ground
