| SE0X | SO HP 20M | Wow! This is something completely new in contesting! I see a lot of potential for the World Wide Digi DX Contest to lead development of the future of contesting. With the fast pace of development in digital modes and the rise of live scoring, radiosport has the potential to be attractive as an e-sport to young hams. This can certainly help revitalise ham radio! I could only be on sporadically this weekend due to social engagements. During setup before the contest I had challenges with WSJT-X controlling the rig through N1MM+. Lack of time forced me to do a quick and dirty fix, ie. control CAT from WSJT-X instead. I also had some issues with call checking in N1MM making all calls appear as not worked. With the little operating time I had planned I didn't bother, I wasn't aiming to score big anyway. 85 contacts where logged at a slow rate, it was hard to get real runs going so I worked a combination of Run and S&P. My focus was on FT4 and even at high power it was a struggle to complete contacts with the lousy propagation. Quite a few responded to my CQ calls, but after given the exchange they disappeared. Maybe the QRM levels and propagation didn't provide the signal path needed for completing the contacts. The final score was microscopic 2120 points. There is also an update on my blog, www.se0x.info. 73! |

| W0RIC | SO HP ALL | Started the contest at 21:00 due to other obligations earlier in the day. Once I figured out using the NA VHF mode option, life was easier. I also had to make a few minor adjustments like adding the FT4 frequencies to the WSJT software. Used N1MM+ and internal WSJT-X program. Worked well. If my start sequence was started too late WSJT would freeze up and lock the radio in TX. Had to exit the program and restart to get the radio the unlock in the TX mode. After about a dozen times of 'lock-up' my rhythm improved and clock awareness improved. Learning curve schooling. Overall a fun time. Mindless computer contesting at its best. Switched between FT4 and FT8 to catch a few extra multis that paid off but FT4 rocks |
| W2HUV | SO LP ALL | Mullica Hill, NJ for the use of their W2MMD remote HF station during the contest. The rig was an IC-7300 barefoot with a Force 12 tri-bander on 10, 15 and 20 meters and a 3-element 40 meter beam intermeshed at about 55'. An inverted-V was used on 80 meters |

| WA1FCN | SO LP 40M | This contest was Murphy against WA1FCN. The winner was WA1FCN. It was a tough one, that needed a drastic call. My backup computer that runs WSJTX/TS870/MicroHam Interface3, stoped working completely just before contest start. I ended up taking one of the hard drives out of main computer and putting hard drive from backup computer. When I turned computer on OMG it booted up. the screen was a little messed up tho. All software was there and radio combination worked ! My log has 304 QSO's with no dupes but Writelog report says 258 Qso's ? I don't understand it |
| WA3EKL | MM | NICE TO BE A PART OF HISTORY A NEW CONTEST AND NEW MODES |

| YO3JW | SO LP 40M | I think that 100 W is the maximum power for FT8/FT4 decoding system 1500W output + 3 element yagi have more than 10 kW ERP!!! If some one want this power level stay in CW, SSB or RTTY |
| YO4DFT | SO LP 40M | Fun contest! |
| YO9CWY | SO LP 20M | Nice contest! |
| YV4TEA | SO LP 40M | Having fun for a few hours |
