SP2WDWSO LP 20MMy first WW DIGI Contest - and so much fun! It's amazing what we can do and see today with contesting software, digital modes, low power and a basic wire antenna. Big thanks to everyone I met on 20 meters this weekend!
SP5WAZSO LP ALLThank YOU
SP9IZ/PSO QRP ALLVacation Setup: KX3 (stock) running QRP (mostly 3W), with - there is no such thing as TOP BAND QRP - I don't know how or why my XYL let me do this on vacation.... Thanks to all who pulled me out of the noise and gave me the points/mults. 73, Jarek, SP9IZ

VK3BDXSO LP ALLMelbourne storm took out one tower, so I lost my 40M and 80M antennas. I ran a wire at 5M off the ground. The other tower was wound down due to strong winds. Propagation on our Sunday Morning was poor. But fun was had - thanks Team

W1HSSO LP ALLPoor conditions at start, improved considerably into the evening, but still not great. Had to shutdown for a bit to let a thunderstorm pass. Never really achieved the run rate I had wanted. Called it quits about midnight localtime

W4IPCMSHThanks to Ray, W2RE for making his wonderful remote station in Summit, NY available for use in this contest. All operators were youth: Mason, KM4SII (17), Charles, AA4LS (13) and Connor, W4IPC (18). We operated SO1R with Connor operating the beginning and end of the contest, and Mason operating the middle period (after finishing his SAT exam Saturday morning) and Charles operating in between. The station performed well, especially on the high bands. The bands themselves weren't terrible, but also can't be classified as overly exceptional either. While FT4 did at times produce higher rates, all An intense thunderstorm came directly over the station causing a period of extreme QRN and rain static, but fortunately it cleared up soon after. Apart from that period, mother nature left us alone. Again, thanks to Ray W2RE and the Remote Ham Radio Youth Program for the use of the great remote station. http://www.w2re.com/summit/ https://www.remotehamradio.com/youth/ Thanks to everyone who called us! 73 Mason, KM4SII and Connor, W4IPC Radio ???

W4MLBMSHHad new operators on board, that had not worked the FT modes. But everyone had a great time & look forward to next year
W4TMOSO LP 160MSee you next year!
W5KYSO LP ALLHad a lot of fun !
W5PRSO HP 10MHopefully, this is as bad as it gets for 10 meters! It might be fun for FT8 and FT4 contacts on the same band to count. It might foster some activity on FT4 on 10 meters
W7SOTSO LP ALLOnly had a few hours to work with a IC-7300 and a G5RV
W8MRLSO HP ALLHigher frequencies were poor. I still don't understand why more people aren't using FT-4 on bands other than 20m
W8TNSO LP 40MMY FIRST WW-DIGI CONTEST AND FIRST USE OF FT-4 FOR CONTESTING. A GREAT TIME!
WA1FCNSO LP 40MBetween much improvrd conditions from last year and the stay at home rules we had many many stations to work. This contest is actually a lot of fun! Antenna is a 2 element at 70ft Power 90 watts from a very old rig

WA6GDSO HP ALLCouldn't stay awake thru the whole thing my XYL was kind enough to bring me a vodka martini shaken not stirred. And, that was the end of the contest for me. HiHi
WB4OMMSO QRP 20MMy first foray into this contest! Also my first
WD6TSO HP ALLCasual operating from modest home station to see how things were this year...1632Z-1846Z, 2100Z-2120Z, then 0215Z-0700Z, while binge watching Danish TV with subtitles. Breakdown was 97 FT4 and 41 FT8. Somewhat more variety of mults on FT8, but waiting for it reminds me of a trip to the DMV. Rotated between bands and modes, occasionally going to the non-contest watering hole when things got slow. Considered setting up another computer for SO2R, but there General impression is that people didn't spread out enough. Activity was decent and included a lot of well-known contesters. Not much EU when I was operating, though saw a few W7s working them. Was pleased to work several HS's on 20m at mid-day. I still wish a new digital mode could be designed specifically with contesting in mind, preferably without fixed time slots
WO2XSO HP ALLBand conditions on 20 and above were not great. no activity heard on 10 meters. Still enjoyed this contest. I look forward to next year
WT8VMSHLoved the contest, looking forward to next year, thanks
