I enjoyed the contest.

I was only on for a couple of hours, but had a lot of fun.

Thanks for sponsoring the contest and thanks to all who worked
me! Enjoyed it!

old tube rig, and a mobile whip, 3 radials at 25 Ft.

Friday night only worked 4 TCG stations and station to the south
of me within 30 miles in Alabama.  Saturday had a good opening to
EU and Japan. Sunday good opening to EU and Japan.  Did not hear
any VK/ZL/PAC expeft for KH6.  Missed last hour of contest to
work S21DX Bangladesh on 80m - impacted my final score. Thanks
Asian stations such as DU, JA, YB, etc for hearing and working my
LP station.  73 and Best of the Holiday Season to ALL!

FTDX-10, 6 BTV

Hadn't planned to participate in this contest but tuned around 10M
after a traffic net on 80M on Sunday evening.  Found the band was
pretty full with sigs so I thought, "What the heck"  Played for half
an hour and quit after I worked KL7 and KH6 consecutively.

I had a blast with this contest.  There were so many stations
on and conditions were very good from my location.  Thanks
to everyone who helped put this together and to all the stations
participating this year!  Looking forward to the next one!

i enjoyed operating 10 Meters during good conditions

since i am a homeless amateur radio operator i don't expect to win any contest, i operated in a
beach/park with a portable single antenna set up operation for a day.
it was lots of fun in addition to lots of work to set up a decent dx
antenna at the beach. those of you require beaches on the air "Oneula
Beach Park" credit can used my qso as valid contact since there was no
assisted spotting nor announcements.

Great Contest!

Limited operating time due to other obligations, but this was the
best band conditions seen in a lonf time!

Woke up on the 2nd day morning late.. but I enjoyed the contest very much.

Many thanks to ARRL for the 10-meter contest, it is really a happy event.

I operated the contest remotely from my QTH in Barcelona.
The propagation conditions were good, but during the mornings there was a very considerable echo,
which made it dificult (and even impossible) to copy correctly. I apologice if anyonewas left
without a QSO for this reason
Aditionally, during some hours of the contest I suffered an internet delay of almost a second. This
made remote operation comlicated. Thank you all for your patience

Tradition says that we use this weekend as an excuse to gather for seasonal festivities so our
effort tends to be fairly part-time. We had a late start and early finish on Saturday with very
little in-band working, and didn't run CW anywhere near as much as would be required for a serious
entry. We had more effort on Sunday although conditions didn't seem quite as good - for example, we
didn't make a single QSO to JA on CW when we'd made some on SSB the day before - but we had great
fun and enjoyed a lively band! Thanks for all the QSOs, 73 de EI7M

For different reasons, we were not able to attend FY5KE this year for the ARRL 10m event. Only
Didier FY5FY was on site, others on remote from France.

Of course, without any inband and mult stations, and the usual lag between F and FY (7 000 km away),
it's not the same story, and not the same result ...

Congrats to the top scorers !

I really enjoyed participating in the ARRL-10 contest.

Log is really just for use as a check log as I only partook in the contest to give away some points
to the serious contesters. I also enjoy testing out my station.

Tghought i would try and work the States, but with my location Antenna and power output I am
unlikely to try it again unless something changes drastically for the better my end. ;-)

Antenna: Vertical dipole with centre at 30 ft high.

Very enjoyable contest. Nice working on a band with lots of space.

Conditions not their best for QRP. Yaesu FT701 5W, longwire

A very short period of operation.
Sunday far better than Saturday.

Just 6.5 hours operating. Conditions poor to the far east.

SHORT TIME BUT VERY FUNNY OPERATION!

Great race and great fun. Saturday the propagation was good, but not
optimal, while Sunday very poor also due to thunderstorms.

Fast activity only as a "check log" with a QRPp power of 100 milliwatts
for the first QSOs and then QRP (with 5 watts) for the remaining ones. I
will participate in the next edition, it was a lot of fun. Rig: KX3 and

Sincere thanks to my dear OM Gabry IT9RGY for upgrading the
station hardware with FlexRadio and giving me opportunity to
test it by joining this event remotely. Station worked well
despite reductions for phone operation due to missfunction of
my foot-switch. I missed Palermo in live...
ARRL 10m Contest is a very nice event, especially within actual
propagation conditions. It was a semi-serious effort of mine
since I spent a great few hours with my grandson during primetemes
on both days. Many thanks to all for crawding this bordering

This was my first time participating in a ham radio contest, and it was an
exciting experience! I joined the contest part-time, as I couldn't dedicat
e all my free time to it, but I enjoyed every moment I was able to spend on
the air.
I operated in the 10-meter band using an Icom IC-7410 radio, running up to
100 watts, and my antenna was a 3-element Yagi. Despite being a newcomer to
contests, I had great fun making contacts and learning from the experience
.
Thank you to everyone I contacted and to the organizers for putting togethe

Nice to have the condx in ARRL10m contest again.
Hoped great condx for a limited antenna & a low power station as we
are at the peak of solar activity, but was not from here in the
northern Japan.
The band opened for about 11hours a day.
Nice to work one AF(EA8) over the long path and one carribean(ZF5).
Hoped to work W1,2,3 & eastern Canada and further than zone15,
but nothing except one K2(NY).
No real good sporadic E but a short while to JA6.
So maybe next year for a real great 10m!
(I guess my old JA record (in 2001) for mixed HP will probably still
survive..)
Anyway thank you for all the QSOs and picking me up & receiving #

Living in a HOA restricted antenna mobile park, it was amazing to make contacts into Japan from
California, going over 5000+ miles using a 5' base loaded mobile vertical antenna.

hooked up 2 8 ft legs just in time!!

The one thing that I really noticed in this contest was the large number of spots with incorrect
call signs posted. Most were usually off by only one or two characters.

I got my K2ZR/4 station up and running the day before the contest started. 
Living in an HOA makes me antenna stifled. My K2 ran at 70 watts on 10 meters with my "V" shaped 40
Meter OCF wire which is 15' to 25' off the ground.
With only a few hours ( 4 1/2 hours ) to play I had fun.

K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM and
W5MPB did Multi-Op HP in the 2024 ARRL 10 M test. N3UM got all our
CW Qs, W5MPB all our SSB Qs. We hoped to beat our 2023 ARRL 10 M
result, 880 Qs and a score claim of 641,536. Nope; we got 1.07 X
the mults in 2024 but 0.844 X the Q pts, for 0.9 X the score vs
2023. Run Qs were 0.21 X total 2024 CW Qs but 0.41 X 2023 CW Qs,
so 2024 CW Qs 0.8 X '23 Qs. Not clear why; maybe SFI of 165 vs 140
made ops go for far mults vs closer CQs. At start 00-0018Z N3UM
ran for 21 Qs, 69/hr. Few SSB signals; W5MPB got 3 Qs 0027-0035Z.
From 0049 to 0135Z QRT N3UM clicked spots for 11 Qs & ran for 11
Qs, then rate died. All Qs were VE or W/K. AM was better, mostly
EUs. N3UM clicked 1254-1428Z for 80 Qs, 51/hr. W5MPB 1432-1656Z
got 95 Qs, 40/hr. In 3.1 hrs 1254-16Z we got 78 Cty mults, 57% of
our total 136. N3UM got 33 Qs 1658-1756Z, 34/hr. W5MPB 1806-2108Z
got 78 Qs in 3.1 hrs, 26/hr. N3UM 2113-2124Z clicked for 6 Qs & 6
mults, then ran 2127-2217Z for 62 Qs at 75/hr. Then 2218-2254Z he
got 13 Qs + 4 Cty & 6 St/PV mults. W5MPB 2300-2346Z saw few spots;
he got 10 Qs & VK. After a 1-hr BK he got 1 Q at 0046Z. For N3UM,
band ~empty; 2 Qs at 0125 & 0127Z, so QRT. Back 1242-1333Z N3UM
clicked for 32 Qs, 40/hr. Then came his best run; 70 Qs 1343-1430Z

This was my very first time on the air! Had fun and will try again

Had not planned to operate at all because of work and other
demands, but could not resist makng an appearance.  My 5 hours,
16 minutes was almost entirely fun.  However, there were still a
few stations who would not i.d. for long stretches.  The practice
increases the malfeasors rate at the expense of his callers.
There oughta be a law.

Busy weekend, very little after dark, but still my favorite contest.

As always, Great Fun!

My wife broke her wrist one week ago. The contest slipped my mind and
I couldn't get much BIC time anyway. Just happy to manage 100 contacts
with the time available. I still need AZ and MT for WAS on 10M.

I only was able to operate for half of the contest, but it was still 100% fun!  More XE stations
than I have ever seen, but we needed three times as many.  Hopefully next year!

ARRL 10m contest Dec 14-15 2024  SSB+CW mixed mode

Mostly good conditions and lots of others were on to work.

I really liked the mixed mode, and the ability to work mults for each mode cw and again phone. It
made it like two contests in one.

This was an extraordinary contest testing for many aspects of amateur radio operating skills as well
as equipment.  Logging skill was tested; code of conduct was tested; listening skill to understand
the propagation from my station to intended qso; exercising strick exchange...without added
comments; and make as many qsos as possible within the limits of personal stamina and positive
attitude toward other callers and hunters.

Very fun watching our newest contester, KE2BPY go from 0 to 60 before our eyes!

Pretty good condx and a lot of participation.  Thanks for
all the contacts!

Old fashioned contesting: low power, small antenna, paper and pencil
logging.

Until next time.

Thank You, ARRL for a great contest. The band was OPEN!!

Enjeoyed a Casual Run. Most US contacts made on Back Scatter.

This was certainly the most fun 10-meter contest within the past 10 years or so!  Band conditions
were great on both week-end days!

SSAC club was originally put on my record because i belong to them.  I was not operating under that
club during the contest.  Only my home QTH as myself.

Boy, what a kick in the pants. So much activity on 10m, just
great to see the band alive. Wish there were more duing
non-contest moded. Didn't get much time in the seat but knew
that. Glad to have worked the ones I did.

Where was Sporadic E propagation during the Contest?  Even missed working my own state - ouch!

Had fun operating as it had been at least 30 years since I did the 10m contest.

I could only work on Sunday, so for my sake alone, I hope there wasn't any sporadic-E propagation on
Saturday evening.  I enjoyed operating in an "old school" manner on Sunday, without using a recorded
CQ.

10 Meter Inverted V wire with one kilo watt.Thanks for the contacts.

The ten meter contest is a nice contest to work in between raking leaves or other weekend tasks.  I
enjoyed it.

This is and always will be one of my favorite contests!

This has become one of my favorite contests.  Thanks to you good ops who took time to copy my QRP
signal. 

Elecraft K2 to a homemade rotatable dipole at 30 feet

Received my Technician and General in March 2024. I work an ICOM-7300 with a End-Fed Half-Wave
Antenna (Par EndFedz - ALLBANDKW 80-10M). This is mounted in the inverted box orientation 10 meters
high.

For this contest I selected the assisted mode; consequently, I could not get the radio to interface
with the N1MM logger and therefore no assistance.

Had a great time and worked a bunch of new countries using a simple dipole I made that morning.

I WORKED A FEW HRS, POTA STYLE (EN61VC), 15 MI FROM HOME QTH
(EN62SC)

ICOM IC-7800 & SteppIR DB-18E beam.

I'm only submitting so K5TR can get credit for the QSO.

Lots of strong signals on 10 meters - good luck to all!!!

For the 2024 10 meter contest I was a casual station operating
portable in my back yard. On the first day I used a 20w radio on my
truck mobile antenna while it was parked/engine running at the house.
On the 2nd day I setup my Xiegu G90 with the 100W amplifier running
off a generator as a test. Not much noise from the generator which was
optimal, the generator does produce noise on the lower bands so it was
a good test. In the morning I decided to make a proper dipole with a
10ft PVC mast, 60ft of coax, I think the random length of coax caused
the dipole SWR to be slightly higher at 1.5. The dipole was tuned for
the lower portion of SSB 28.4, after a while I cut a couple inches off
the ends and got it tuned for the upper portion near 28.6. It worked
well for the entire SSB portion.

I pretty much exclusively chased stations I heard with limited calling
CQ, only about 4 contacts were made by calling out on an open
frequency.

There were LOTS of stations. Some were within 1-2khz of each other
causing some QSB. The band sounded like 11 meters sometimes with all
the stations in the lower portion of SSB. Lots of stations were moving
up in the band to find a clear frequency.

I did not get to work as many DX stations I expected but i heard lots
of them including Japan and Australia and lots of south america.
Toward the end I wanted to get at least one Japan station. Most were
working huge pileups. I found one station JL3VUL/P3 (portable 3) and
the exchange was serial number 000 which was surprising, I listened
until he made another contact and the serial was 001 so im hoping this
was copied correct and counts. (000 is not valid, entered 1000)

I could try and calculate my score but I dont usually do contests
except once or twice per year.
Total 69 contacts, 12 "DX" contacts with serial number.
All for fun and because I "tried" I will submit my logs

includes an additional operator, W6WTI. Bill was accidently left of the 1st submission.  Thanks,

Excellent band conditions allowed us to be able to make some contacts, since the
CQ'ers were spread out well above 29 Mhz . Europeans were easily heard on our
6-Element 10 Meter yagi that is stuck beaming NE.However, it was tough getting
through to the Caribbean and the West Coast. Maybe next year we can get our
antenna situation straightened out. Thanks to all that could hear our weak signal.

10M was hot!!

First Contest Ever

EFHW in tree 20W

40 watts from an FT-891 into a Wolf River Coil on top of my aluminum
carport roof. Worked pretty well. Even got a couple of compliments on
my signal.

FIRST CONTEST

This was my first contest.  I for sure will be doing more.  I had fun.

Just looking for some diversion on a snowy weekend

Limited Antennas Overlay - 134ft OCF dipole wire at 7 meters in trees

This contest was quite the experience with excellent conditions
and participation and some technical challenges.  With the cold
weather, my neighbor's heat pump was running almost constantly
giving me S9 noise on my best antenna, a horizontal loop.  A
while back, I put an EFHW at the back of my lot to see if it was
far enough away to avoid the noise, and that works.  However, it
is not as good an antenna, and it sits at the end of about 220 ft
of coax in the woods. There were plenty of stations to work S&P,
but I wanted to run, and with the EFHW, I didn't get many
callers.  I tried the loop when the heater was off next door for
a few minutes, and started a nice run.  Of course that ended in
about 15 minutes when the heat came back on, and I couldn't hear
my callers.  On day two, after having laid in bed thinking about
it, I hooked up the EFHW as a receive antenna.  This worked well,
although it seemed like my local noise was still keeping me from
working some callers.  At some point, I stopped and hooked up my
160m inverted-L for the receive antenna.  It is closer to the
house but it still seemed better than the EFHW.  Everything was
going nicely, and I had a nice run until I heard some relay going
nuts in my K3.  I had to stop operating and try to figure it out.
After experimenting and consulting the manual, it was apparent
that there wasn't enough isolation between my receive and
transmitting antennas.  Switching back to the EFHW helped, but I
had to reduce power from 500 W to 400 W, but that fixed the
problem and still left me in better shape than I started.

Really fun weekend of contesting.   I really like the single band focus of this contest.   It allows
a simple focus on making contacts without needing to switch bands.   Also, it helped me confirm that
my (small) station does, indeed, work well enough to participate!  Hope to see everyone again on 10
meters in 2025!

Single Op, Low Power, Over 50, Non-Assisted,  In Arizona

I received my Technician License at the end of Sept. 2024. This
contest really helped me to sharpen my skills of speeding up my skills
in working SSB, and will be used when working POTA/SOTA. I'll be
getting a logging application for sure. It was great fun.  Next time I
work CQ!

Thanks to everyone that worked me. Great Contest. Some personal bests with the number of contacts. I
plan to do this again next year! 73

In reviewing the Cabrillo file, the MODE indicated was "MIXED."

However, I only worked CW. (I indicated "CW" on the ARRL upload page when I uploaded the file.)

All of the QSO entries in the Cabrillo file are correct. Please let me know if I need to re-upload a
file with the MODE corrected.

I was first licensed as a tech, no-code decades ago but I let my
license lapse at the end of the 10 year period.  I got a my new
ham callsign and general license just over a year ago.  Not sure
if I am eligible for Rookie Overlay

Interest propagation and lots of fun!
Tnx for the qsos and the mults.  Happy Holidays!
73  Bob, KQ2M

limited antennas: 10m double bazooka dipole

First time on HF and started with this contest.

First contest after passing tech and general in October. What a fun time to get on the air and make
so many distant contacts. Tons of fun and looking forward to the next one.

This was my first contest with Amateur Radio. I look forward to improving my abilities and equipment
for next year. I had a great time making all the contacts and talking to people around the world. I
also learned a lot about logging contacts and radio etiquette as it pertains to amateur radio. Good
luck to everyone and Happy Holidays. -73

Excellent conditions. The band was on fire with activity and mostly
good signals. My personal best score in this contest so far. Thanks
to
all for the contacts and multipliers. Go FRC!

I musta had a pipeline to Africa getting 'em all on first calls
but the path to EU was not as good. All the AF stns were a real S9
7Q2T had a big signal and was a nice surprise.

10M was Hot...all day! Could only do Sunday, but it was fun.

Casual operating just for fun.

Lots of fun.  Conditions were not the best but that's lfe.  It
takes a lot of patience being QRP.  It's like going to the
movies.  Sometimes the lines are very long.  Sometimes you just
go back home and try again later.  Sometimes it works.  But, it
feels real good when you get to the front of the line.  How much
easier wouldit be being LP.. Who knows  I just did the best with
what I've got (which isn't much).  Thanks - 73  tom    Rig =
TenTec Eagle @ 5 Watts.  Antennas = Mag Loop (40 thru 15), an
Isotron-80, and an indoor 10 meter dipole, all  in the attic 12'
above garage floor.

Just a brief casual effort.

Wow! What a blast!  My best score in a 10m contest ever, and it
would have been even better but for Christmas preparations etc.
Got on phone with the new K4D and it seemed to do OK, but CW was
still the money mode.  Thanks for all the QSOs!

This was my first time submitting a log for a contest.  I did not make many contacts, but I had fun
making the contacts I did and reaching some pretty admirable distances in the short time I
participated.  I look forward to doing it again.

First contest for KZ8TOM.

Run this time with the portable station from a alternate

I used an end fed halfwave antenna using 25W. This is the first time I
have taken part in the ARRL 10-Meter contest. Recently Passed January
2024.

Club shack only open for a few hours on the Saturday morning, so a cameo
appearance from M8C! Largely an S&P operation with a few runs.

first time entering, wont be my last

Single element antenna (dipole) only

Operated from home with old Radio Shack CB magnet mount whip on our Weber BBQ Grill. It still works.
Alaska, Hawaii and even some Europeans worked. All contacts "hand made" - ie. hand key, paper logs.

Always a fun contest!  Only operated 6 hours.

Not much time to play, but it was really fun to see 10M wide open and full of callers.

all of my contacts were at 30w and a 10m MOXON antenna (not ARRL version). Yep, got Japan at 5,995
miles on 30w with that antenna. Thank you Cycle 25.

Elecraft K3/100, fan dipole, trap vertical.

Worked CW a bit here and there.  Best 10m band conditions I've operated since March 2000.

1st contest I have been in for almost 11 years and it was so much fun to work stations all over the
world with a shortened G5RV in the attic with 100w maximum power.

Can't wait for the next one.

N0XLR

Running barefoot in a small, urban lot with a multiband wire at 40'. Limited time to work this
contenst so I stopped at 100 QSOs. Thanks all ES 73 DE Kansas City!

I uploaded as a check log, since I couldn't get my file properly formatted and I was unable to bring
across DX serial numbers. My apologies. I hope this helps. 

My participation was from a mountain top.  I loaded up a cut dipole using a Yaesu 857D and a 12 AH
battery.

18TH ARRL 10M CONTEST

from the ship

GREAT CONTEST BAND WAS OPEN

Excellent conditions, casual operations eight hours Saturday, then
about six and a half Sunday. Worked a variety of countries and states.
Only negative was around 1730, started having problems with receive,
like a drop out. Then the Amp (ACOM 1000) shut down with an error
message - ARC. Never had that before. Glad amp shut down - appears a
problem with Antenna. So contest over. On Monday amp powered up no problem. Checked inside cables
and connections. All good, then outside possible issue with pl259 and antenna, cleaned up tightened
and swr 1.0. So I lost several hours of operating time.

1/2 FRANKFORD RADIO CLUB (N2TX), 1/2 YANKEE CLIPPER CONTEST CLUB (KD2RD)

great time

My 1st Contest!

Was fun to play along with the 10m contest this year. I'm not sure I calculated the correct score. 
Need help with that.

2024 ARRL 10M Contest

Loads of fun! Thanks to the many, many fine ops who persisted in
getting their exchange and call across, and my apologies to the
several that I simply couldn't copy! Some signals were right "in
the noise" and nothing I could do to enhance them to a level
where I had a certain exchange. Nice try and thanks!
problem encountered was my laptop...I kept losing the focus due
to my "touchpad" which would cause problems at the worst times!
I'm still trying to figure out how to disable it...
delight it was having a VU2 call me while(st) I was working
Europe on Sunday. THAT's thrilling!!! Also, many thanks for 9H1
and ZB2. Where was LX I never heard one...but why get greedy I
had lots of fun. Thanks again, and 73.

This weekends contest was a lot of fun with 10 meters
cooperating nicely. I started out on CW for most of my time on
Saturday and then switched to Phone for about the last hour. On
Sunday, I waited too late in the day to start and missed all
contacts to the East, only hearing stations from the West and
South. I alternated between CW and Phone several times to try to
get more multipliers. It was fun following the action on the
Online Scoreboard and it provided me with motivation to do more.
This year I was able to get 70 more contacts than last year in
about the same amount of BIC time! It looks like we (PVRC) won
the Club Competition which is fun! I have seen others write about
some of the ridiculous Cut Numbers that some stations were using
and I concur. In my view 5NN should be the only Cut Number used.
Cut Numbers have no business being used in Serial Numbers at all!
Several were so bad I did not even log the contact. It will be
interesting to see what propagation will be like during next
years contest. To all my PVRC friends and anyone else who
happens to read this, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Fun contest.Thanks to those who made this event successful.

all contacts on 120 foot dipole, tuned

I had propagation everywhere except the midwest and southern states. Had fun working all you guys.

Thanks for the contest. I counted 63 QSOs, 18 states & prov, 11 DXCC ent.

My favorite contest...Band was generally in good shape but died out just after dark both
nights...Beat my score from last year by over 250,000 points...Still the usual collection of lids on
both CW and SSB.  Only using 100 watts I feel makes me a better operator...Real satisfaction of
busting a pileup with 100 watts on one or two calls.

Icom IC-7300, Hustler G-2537, worked from the beach at Galveston State Park

I operated from four SOTA summits during the contest. Friday evening and Sunday
were from W6/CT-225 with a half square antenna. Saturday was from
W6/SD-053, SD-181 and SD-186 in the Apple Valley area using a 17' doublet.
The view out the "windows" was spectacular.
KX3 @5 watts, hand sent, logged on a phone app then transcribed, with errors.
Apologies for all the dupes.
Best DX heard was 7Q, but unobtainium.
Oh, to have a bit more gain. One of these days I will build a portable Moxon.
Fantastic to hear both modes humming (hamming) with activity!

POTA operation from US-1196 San Bruno Mountain

QRP, ONE HALF WATT to a 20-Foot end-fed Wire,
thrown into a tree out my window. I was only able
to get on for a bit on Saturday, and I was in and out
of the shack, and missed some of the best times.
I decided that, since this was going to be a very
short, part-time activity, it might be fun to just see
how many Countries I could work with a half Watt
on Saturday, whenever I could get in the shack.
Ended up with 10 Qs in 10 Entities, not my best
in the 10m contests, but still fun for a few hours!
Tnx ALL for your patience with my milliwatting,
and the QSOs. Go Arizona Outlaws! -73- John N6HI

I've been a ham since 1960 when I was 15 in Carlsbad, NM. My Elmer demonstrated his Heathkit DX-100
plate-modulated AM transmitter and HRO-50 receiver and 10/15-meter homebrew quad (on a 20-foot pole
that he reached outside his shack window and turned by hand, which he called his "Armstrong rotor")
by calling CQ and contacting a ham in Boston, MA, about 2500 miles away. We had "armchair" signals
for about half an hour on 10 meters. But alas, I've never worked 10 meters myself since I got my
license - until last Friday evening (0000z). And with this superb Solar Cycle 25, this may be my
last chance to enjoy this band before I become a Silent Key.

I managed to reconfigure my balcony "extended mobile Hustler" antenna to resonate on 10 meters just
for this event, using a 15-meter Hustler resonator which provided two widely-spaced SWR dips,
including one dip 4 MHz wide centered at exactly 28,000 kHz. My 100 watts was heard by most of the
130 stations I called during my six hours of operating.

Solar Flux 164 to 172 was much better than last year.  Lots of
activity.  Operated in single op "distracted" in mixed mode
(unlimited), a first for me in this contest.

No morning EU because shack in out building was too cold operate
from.
Most QSOs from MN & TX
N7WLC in DM04ne was only station worked in western 1/3 of USA
YE9RJM (Indonesia) was a highlight.

First time operating this contest CW and QRP! I was only able to get one the air for a few hours but
I had a blast!

Had a great time.  Bands were open open.  Able to work
a lot of stations with 100W and an end-fed wire.  Lots
of fun!

Had a great time ! This is my favorite contest.

Member of HDXA  Heartland DX Association.  Hope to see many
Nebraska and Iowa stations on this year.

Easily exceeded my goal of 500 Q's. Had fun doing it. Decent
conditions.

Set out for 500 plus Qs and an all time personal best before we start the
sunspot cycle downward! Saturdays conditions to Eu better than Sunday, but
Sunday better to JA. Very strange conditions to west coast both days. Most
westcoast had no issues copying my signal, but some would lose me in QSB and
required repeats. 70 unique DXC, 34 staes with lots of back scatter Qs and
what appeared to be some E's enhancement to NE states mixed in for good measure.
All in all this was my best outing ever on 10m with just a 6BTV ground mounted.
Lets all hope for one or two more years of good prop on 10m beofre O'Sol goes
into hibernation again. 73, Gene N9TF. 100 watts to 6BTV ground mounted.

Youngster on the Air

ARRL 10 m Contest - OE1CIW SO LP CW Only

What a blast to be active with a simple wire vertical dipole OUTSIDE of the roof in addition to my
other indoor dipole antennas! I was active Saturday from 0511 to 1528 utc, Sunday i started 0512 and
closed the log at 1534 utc. Most of the time i was using the new vertical dipole, only few contacts
i did with one of the the indoor wire dipoles but in most cases the vertical gave also the better
receiving signal and i got easier heard too!

Propagation was really great and quite similar to CQWW recently, maybe a little bit better on
Saturday. On Sunday i struggled with very heavy wind especially in the morning until early
afternoon. Two times my DX-Wire mast which i was using temporary collapsed with loud noise and i had
to rebuild it but antenna did an excellent job! Almost everything i heard i could also work and got
in my log! 

About 95% of my contacts i did with the simple wire vertical, just few contacts i did with the
indoor wires. By comparison the OUTSIDE vertical was almost every time the winner of course, it was
amazing how smooth the contacts could be done! 10 m band was full of stations and with 100 watts
sometimes not so easy so i decided to do mainly search + pound and not to call CQ. I tried to call
CQ but didn´t have much success.

In the end from stations i heard and was trying to get in my log i was only missing:

VR2GP Hong Kong, 9V1YC Singapore, 5Z4VJ Kenya, DU2W Philippines, 3W9A Vietnam, OH0R Aland Islands,
VP5V Turks & Caicos Islands, KM5G Arizona, ZY5A Brazil, AZ1D Argentina

I started Saturday morning but maybe too late at 0511 but just the big guns i could hear. At first i
heard E7CW, 9A5Y and Braco E7DX with good signals but i only could work E7DX. No other stations
heard at this time so i got my breakfast earlier to be active when the stations will be more active.
At 0614 band opened to UN Kazakhstan, 4X Israel and UA9 Asiatic Russia. Around 0700 utc the first
stations from JA Japan and BY China i could work and the one and only station from DL Germany
DH8BQA. 

Now some Europe were available 5B4 Cyprus, EA7 Spain, CS2 Portugal and Africa D4Z Cape Verde. Around
1000 utc more Europe from F France, I Italy OH Finland, SM Sweden and LA Norway. KP4 Puerto Rico and
KP2 US Virgin Islands wkd around 12 noon together with lot of USA and ZF Cayman Islands around 1300
utc. First Canadians worked at 1318 utc and first PY Brazil at 1452 utc. I closed my log Saturday at
1528 because all stations wkd and nothing new.

Sunday morning i get up around 0500 utc similar to Saturday, got new countries TA7 Asiatic Turkey,
4J Azerbaijan and 9N Nepal. Sunday morning i was also able to work 7Q2T from Malawi without any
problems! GI Northern Ireland, UR Ukraine and EI Ireland followed, close to 1200 utc FY5KE French
Guiana was in the log finally! New multipliers followed again by HS Thailand, FR Reunion Island, 9J
Zambia and EU Belarus and lot of USA and Canada. I got Delaware and Nova Scotia this afternoon,
South America started at 1426 with PY Brazil, PJ2 Curacao and ended with LU Argentina at 1534.

Unfortunately nothing heard from VK/ZL but very happy with working all the stations i did! I´m sure
it´s the best ARRL 10 m Contest ever for me, happy to use this vertical dipole to get better
results!

Thanks for every single contact, i had lot of fun !

Wish the contest would a month earlier. The band closes early because of the very short winterdays
at the Northern Hemisphere, making it very difficult to reach the western parts of the USA from

The contest date should be switched with the ARRL 160m contest date.
Days are getting too short and 10m closes quite early.
Conditions were OK on Saturday but not so good on Sunday. But
the band was open and you could not say that a few years ago ...
It seemed like there were not that many countries active, but
maybe I just did not spend enough time. Had a few nice runs, but
had to S&P quite a bit to catch the goodies. Always fun to
participate. Thanks to all who called me.

It was fun working so many new hams!

just gave some points and multiplyer. Fun contest. TNX

It was really good but I couldn´t operate most of the time due to family commitments.

Hello fellow radio amateurs!
I have used a single homebrew vertical EFHW antenna, just a piece of wire on a fishing pole.
Isn't that amazing!
A piece of wire made contacts to the other side of the world.
180 QSO's in two days being on the radio on and off.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the ARRL contest.

HEXBEM, KT34M2

I had a lot of fun operating the 10 Contest. I got a  few with my
Vintage IC-740

Good fun, what time I could work it. Friday I thought to start at
the down-beat of 1600U, our local start time. Delayed, 1/4 wave
mobile antenna issues, then issues with the next day's CBC -
Christmas Bird Count, took up ATUs (Amateur Time Units.) Solved,
the bottom fell out of the band. Saturday was this important
citizen science annual bird count. Extremely high tides, a nasty
weather system passing through with very high winds. Too tired to
work 10 m after that left Sunday. Something killed off some of
the joy, so 2 1/4 hours operating for some really fun time on
the air. Cut it short for an offered walk in nicer weather with
the birds. Thanks all for the contacts and occasional social
exchanges.

Condx were good but where were the Europeans?

Hi i'd like to enter the Limited Antennas Overlay, i operated
from my mobile using a 102" whip..DE VJ2A-VK2ZG Matt

30 HOURS OF Continuous PROPAGATION WITH LONG PATHS OPEN AT NIGHT TIME BOTH DUE EAST AND DUE WEST.
EVAN A FEW qso'S AT 2:00AM IN THE MORNING LOCAL TIME..! CERTAINLY USED THE 10M BAND VERY WEEL, WITH
QSO'S FROM 28.300 TO 28.900 ON SSB.  MASSIVE ECHO'S ON LONG PATH SIGNALS WERE PRESENT TEARING UP
SIGNAL AT NIGHT TIME, MAYBE AURORA.

SOME LONG PATH STATIONS INCLUDED PY (OVER eu), ZS (OVER THE USA), CO (OVER AFRICA) AND EA/ER/ OVER
THE CARIBBEAN..  I'VE DETERMINED MY RECEIVER IS ABOUT 15Db MORE SENSITIVE THAN ANYTHING I CAN WORK
WITH THE RF POWER LIMITS HERE..

Conditions not as expected for near solar maximum, being somewhat
patchy for the entire contest.  Operated search-and-pounce during
the morning VK-NA and evening VK-EU busy periods, otherwise CQing
during the day when it was quieter.  LPs opened late Sunday night
here; heard but unable to work NA as they were beaming EU, but did
work EU and caught South America on the way through for the first
time in years!  Thanks to the managers for running the contest,
looking forward to doing it again in 2025.

Used "SD" by EI5DI worked very FB

Good conditions on 10m down here in VK for the contest. My small 10m Moxon and 100 watts was
sufficient to work 130 odd stations around the world which was gratifying. Thanks to all the
stations that dug deep to hear my station here in VK5, near Adelaide.

I thiink I suffer from a new afflication called TFS(Too Far South) Hi

A part time affair. Condx with lots of absorption on day 2, with
super stations still had quite low signals with lots of repeats.
Still fun.

Very pleased to hear such great conditions from my new qth in NL
. Europe opened before sunrise & lasted with great activity until the the usa opened to give me many
contacts from all over.
Enjoyed the contest so much fun. 
Thanks for all the contacts.

I'd like to thank Ed for his hospitality and graciousness for my stay at his great station.  First
time operating from outside the USA - it was a lot of fun being DX. Thanks also go to N2BA for
mentoring me thru the ins and out of our stay o Bermuda.  73 de Walt - VP9/K2WK.

VU Contest Group, I had S7 to S9 band noise on 10mtrs in my QTH,
due to this most of the DX stations I wasn't able to copy them.

Good conditions and fun to operate using SD for logging

A fun festive event! Thanks for the Qs and Merry Christmas de VY2LI (Poppa Echo) !

I was running a Icom IC7610, Alpha 87A, Mosley Pro67@60, N1MM. Band conditions were not as good
Saturday as Sunday but it was still fun. I am just getting to old to do long contests anymore as bic
time is rough. I wish that I would have a heads up on scoring the xe stations ( my fault). It was
fun and I will be looking forward to next year. I will need to beat my best score in 2014!

unning a TS-590SG, TA-33 at 35’ and the Eleabeast KPA1500.

What a blast! Great condx on Saturday with the band really filling up with a lot of folks coming out
for this contest. Sunday had QSB issues as others have noted. I did work someone on the East coast
on SSB who told me he was running 100mW when he worked me on CW. 
Asia was rewarding on Saturday but much less so Sunday.  But quite a surprise to have V85NPV call me
in the last few minutes of the contest Sunday. 

Thanks to all for the Q's, especially when I was running CW at my unbrisk pace. 

Cheers, 
Marv W0PSY

Contest operated from my mobile, stationary.  Yaesu FT-891 and Tarheel 75 antenna.  logged with
N1MM.  good time as always.  Hong Kong ATNO

Like others have reported, no EU stations heard from here in the southwest.  I thought condx could
have benefited from there being a few more sunspots.  Let's hope there is a double peak this cycle!

Wayne, W0ZW

Thanks for the contacts. Excellent propagation and activity.
Thanks to the ARRL for sponsoring the contest and processing the
logs. 73, Dan - W1QK

Great contest to show the bands are open. 80 FT G5RV as Inverted Vee, apex 39 ft.

Thought this would be a 20+ hour CW-SSB submittal.  But the computer had other ideas based on the
audio problems that eliminated the SSb and resulted in way fewer BIC hours!.  Hence, just CW
contacts.  Seems that there are some issues to address this coming week, HI.

Thank you everyone 73

Great Contest - Thanks ARRL!

HAD A GREAT TIME AND THANKS FOR SPONSORING IT!

Great conditions across the USA and overseas! I've had more DX in
the log for a ten meter contest than any other time in the past
40 years.

This was a Single-OP Ssb Only GiG for W6R by WQ6X.
This was another QRP run from the Ramona hilltop QTH QTH.
The goal was to set a QRP Ssb-only record for SDG section and Southwest
Division.  I ran the usual K3/0-Mini to a 3-el Stepp-IR at 50-feet.
I didn't get started as W6R until 21:30z on Saturday.
Saturday Condx were "OK" (not great) and seemed to improve
considerably on Sunday.
If my voice occasionally sounded choppy, blame that on an occasional burbling
(pulsing) of the internet connection.  While you may have been loud, the choppy
internet made me ask for repeats - Sorry Charlie.

Part Time effort

This was a last minutead-HOC Ssb run from W7AYT's QTH in Concord.
I ran the FT-2000 @5-watts into a 3-el Long John 10-meter Yagi 10mh.
Being the only phone entry, W7AYT should take a 1st-place for EB section.

Was hoping to install and use the new ARRL 10/6M MomoBeam for
this contest, but alas, the US Postal Service had other ideas.
Hope the antenna turns up before the 2025 ARRL 10M contest!
Thanks to all who participated and 73, W9TCV

Fantastic hearing the 10M band "alive and kicking" again!

It was fun on onlinescoreboard chasing NS4T and K3Pa
This is my all time high score for ten meter contest.

Started late on Saturday but had fun and did well considering how late I got started!

Terrific 10M Contest!

My first time in this contest and I used my new beam antenna.

Still waiting to sell my house.  Only using vertical and towers are down.

Operated remote from Tokyo, Japan

Just able to operate for a couple of hours. Still got a couple of new countries on phone.

In memory of my father Samuel KF4AEQ(sk)

good contest; cndx above average

This was a fun contest with very decent F2 conditions.

wish I had operated more but 15's better than 0!

One of the best I have worked. The band stayed open. The only limiting factor way my operating time.

I was glad to hear good activity on the band. I had fun reaching
Mexico, AB and Virgin Isl. and Argentina. I plan to participate again
year with better success.

Been a while, but back at it. Fun!

MY LAST CONTEST WITH PAPER LOG!

Had a ton of fun in this contest. Band was pretty good and lots of strong Stations.

I can't believe I made about 1200 CW-only contacts, with low power, and just a DIPOLE!!!  (10-40
homebrew OCFD, low end up 10 feet, fed like a sloping inverted L, with the top below 50 feet.) 
Also, used only solar power and batteries for the entire station the entire time.

ok condx, but still fun.

once again a pleasant, sunny 75 degree day greeted us.

This was another QRP run from the Ramona hilltop QTH QTH.

Condx. started good on Friday and then faded away by 03:30z, altho NX6T
@Anza Was good for another hour+ - GO Figure.  Condx on Saturday were
"OK" (not great) and seemed to improve considerably on Sunday.
If my Cw keying occasionally sounded choppy, blame that on an occasional
burbling (pulsing) of the internet connection.  While you may have been
loud, the choppy internet made me ask for repeats - Sorry Charlie.
