Great work QRP in this contest and thanks to all the stations that worked me. My setup was a Yaesu
FT-817ND, LDG Z817 ATU feeding an EFLW configured as an inverted, sloping 'L', which runs vertically
up a 8m fibre-glass pole and then horizontal part slopes about 14m. Nice to work so many stations
across the pond on just 5 watts.

Greetings from CA.  Not a serious contest op but I enjoy limited participation.  Could not find any
info on what a "Cabrillo Formatted Log" should look like anywhere in the contest rules or on the
ARRL site.  The Winlog32 program I use doesn't do Cabrillo very well so I have to hand edit the
information.  For example, it drops all non-numeric text in the reports columns.  So "KW" and "CA" 
have to be entered by hand. The header is left pretty much blank. 

Actually the reason I'm adding these comments is that you certainly can use me as a check log if
that serves you.  I'm not going to be competitive in any way and I honestly don't care how the input
gets used. 

73.  Had fun despite some really awful band conditions.

Conditions fair but not good. Europe and the Caribbean were good.

MOST UNFAVORABLE CONDX I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN THIS CONTEST,
FAR FEWER QSOS THAN I HAVE MADE PREVIOUSLY. NEED A
BIGGER ANTENNA I GUESS

Seemed like propagation was lacking on 10, while 15 opened more
on unday afternoon.  Akways seemed that propagtion favored NE USA
for SA and Caribbean stations.  Will have to contend with these
conditions a few more years.  Can't wait for 10m to open worlwide
again.

Band conditions difficult this year

A very minimal effort with about 12 minutes of operation.

Working 160 barefoot is no walk in the park. You have to work for every contact, but each completed
exchange gives you a real feeling of accomplishment.

I HAD A GREAT TIME CHASING DX!

Began by installing the SteppIR 2-element on the crank-up mast, then took that down and put up the
Cushcraft R-7000 to work 7 mHz.  IC-706, Yaesu rotator on homebrew crank-up mast, and N1MM+.  No
computer crashes or power failures this time.

Bands so-so, stateside operators leave a lot to be desired.

It was the first time we participated in this contest. The condex was much worse than expected. We
were impressed by the first contact with W6 in 160m SSB.

I entered the fray mainly to look for new band-countries to enhance my DXCC stats,and I was pleased
to work C37NL on 40m for a new one on that band. With low power and wire antennas, the rest of the
time was spent S&P just for fun, mostly on the low bands. One highlight was snagging HB90CXZ on 75m
right at his sunrise. I copied EI7M Q5 on 160m but could not get his attention even at 
his SR. Retuning my 160m inverted-L to mid-band proved worthwhile.

thanks for contest

Many thanks to G3BJ for hosting me

Always one of my favorite contests. Limited operating time of less than 4 hours this time round but
reasonable conditions on 20m given the solar conditions/geomagnetic disturbances. 
 
Running 4 ele SteppIR in lowered position of only 40ft AGL (still not raised until WX improves!) .

Enjoyable as always! See you next year..

Disturbed magnetic condx on Friday and Saturday nights
made for very poor propagation on 80m from this QTH.
No prop. on more Northerly paths and to the West coast.
No W6 or W7 heard and only three W0 call area states worked.
Also missed AR and NM. Prop. not quite as bad as the first
night in 2008,though, which was awful.  A/K indices dropped
on the last (Sunday) night and prop. improved a lot.

Lucky thing I had my smart phone to play games while CQing. I don't think I could have stayed awake

Conditions will be better next year. Thank you for putting on the

Small contribution to club totals.  TS-570SG Cushcraft MA5B vertical 20 - 6.

Great to operate with just an inverted V and low power from midcoast Maine!

Prepare for another New England winter storm! Did all that. Enjoy the ARRL
International DX Contest. Did that too!

Had to work most of the weekend. Operated when I could after work, and inbetween the fix it list
around the house.

K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM and
W3GB operated Multi-2 HP in 2019 ARRL CW DX. We each had non-ham
priorities that kept us from the shack for hours. In 24.3 hrs.
on, we were both there for just 4.5 hrs. And, our Falcon 20/40m.
beam was unusable due to faults in both coax feed lines atop our
85-ft. tower. The coaxes were damaged when rotor clamp bolts
loosened and wind turned the beam back and forth. We fell back
on our C3 tri-bander and a 40m. dipole, both a few feet above
the shack roof. High power with the low antennas put RFI into
one logging computer till we swapped out a keyboard and put on
more ferrites. Less ant. height and gain meant few to no Qs when
we tried to run on 20 and 40m, so we clicked spots and tuned.
Rates were low, but it was fun to find 69 mults on 20 and 57 on
40, some rare. N3UM was away till ~16Z Sat. so W3GB started
alone. He got 62 Qs/44 mults on 40 and 13 Qs/11 mults on 80m.
0118-0549Z, then 13 Qs/11 mults on 20m. 1208-1251Z. From 1558-
1710Z N3UM got 46 Qs/29 mults on 20m, then W3GB did 20 and got
41 Qs/26 mults. N3UM got a few Qs on 40m, and at 2134Z we had
205 Qs and 126 mults. As it got dark we took supper breaks and
jumped between 20, 40, and then at 0045Z 80m. W3GB quit at 0240Z
while N3UM got slow but steady results on 80 and 160m. till QRT
at 0602Z with 317 Qs and 179 mults. Sun. daytime we got 121 more
Qs and 28 more mults. N3UM slept in but got 30 Qs and 9 mults
16-17Z on 15 and 20m, then scraped up a few Qs from among many
dupes in 3 more hrs BIC. W3GB was busy but did well in 2.1 hrs.
late PM and at the very end. Rare and/or distant mults; 5T, 9X,
ZS, and FR in AF, C3 in EU, JA, and KH2. Surprise with low SFI.
We worked 50 PYâ??s, nearly = our 24 EAâ??s and 27 Iâ??s combined!

Root canal would have been better than this contest.  Conditions
were worst I have ever seen!

"There are no ice storms in Florida, but we can not avoid a solar disturbance!"

CASUAL PARTICIPATION BECAUSE OF AWFUL CONDITIONS.

Wish band conditions had been better. 160m and 80m were good the first night, but disappointing the
second night. Managed a few contacts on 10m and 15m in addition to 20, 40, 80, and 160m

Thank goodness for South America! They were consistently there to work QSO's. Many, many contacts
with Brazil.

Excellent event while mobile from the Birmingham Hamfest. What surprised us was how 20m was open to
us. The setup is a FT-891 paired with a ATAS-120A on the roof of the GigaParts Vaesu Van. Even thru
the hills we worked several DX stations and Alaska too.

Conditions not very good, but entertaining in moderation.

Very rough conditions, but still fun.

Mainly was involved with N6WM@N6RO M/M.
But couldn't resist getting on for a bit at home.
One hour Friday night, then Sunday afternoon.
Poor conditions. Thank goodness for South America, which
showed up in force.
Best rate was last hour on 20; fun to finish with a bang,
after a rough slog.

with our temperatures in the -25, no way I was gonna turn the beam...so left it SE and did what I
could...didn't get much Europe of course...but, actually didn't hear many on the west coast working
them either, so who knows ....10 and 15 meters were not much either, however did enjoy Central and a
few South America qso's on 15...did some good on 40..and a few on 80 meters...my score was low
compared to past years..but, still all in all enjoyed it...thanks to all for the q's...

Conditions were not so good this time around.

Good times

First time to make SSB contacts on HF bands in many years.  Made 2 state-side
contacts, guess i was not supposed to that, so did not count in score.

Fighting a cold so SSB was not a good fit this weekend. High Winds, rain, and snow showers made Fri
night useless. Local line Noise rampant after NV-Energy jury rigged a powerpole pole back into
service after a recent power outage. Time to make another call to have the Power Line Noise fixed...

propagation poor

Thanks for running the contest.

Starting late. Let's give this a try and see how it goes.

KD0WAN  File

I apparently used an older version of N1MM+ and originally omitted "NJ" from sent exchange and also
entered rcvd power in the comment section and it was also rejected .  I then updated the N1MM+
software to the latest version, recreated the cabrillo file and manually edited the missing NJ and
power data in correct fields.  There still remains a green comment "QSO dates dont match
contenst.... dont understand comment as I entered info live during contest via N1MM+ input and that
data has not been edited??

This was one tough contest. Much different from conditions during ARRL DX CW contest. Between Snow
Storms and very poor atmospheric propagation, my score is much lower than normal.

2nd year of participating. Lots of fun and learning

1st ARRL DX Contest for this station

73

I was only able to work a few minutes, but fun anyway!

Thanks to the stations that took the time out from the contest
exchanges to inform me of my audio problems on 80m.  My autotuner
failed to tune the 80m band and I never would have noticed it
until the rig died if they hadn't informed me, permitting me to
troubleshoot before damage was done.

I would like to submit my log as a rookie, I was first licensed in April of 2016.

Very casual ops.  Had a good time between other family duties.

The bands were wide open when I started - and slowly faded away towards the end, great contesting -

Terrible conditions. No European 15 meter contacts and no 10 meter contacts. While I understand I
have a very modest station I am still used to being able to add some 10 meter contacts and Europeans

I am not affilitated with Great South Bay ARC.  I am not sure why it showed up on this submission. 
Please revise.

Thanks!

Not stellar condx but had fun.

DX station should be required to ID evey 2 or 3 contacts.  H&P stations sit thru 10 or more contacts
waiting for an ID "NOT RIGHT".

First contest on my own!  (Ok, where I actually make more than 2 contacts and submit my log.)

I spent half of the time rearranging my station, setting up my new radio, and hooking things in to
N1MM.  What a difference that made.

It was fun! I'm looking forward to the next one - as well as digital modes and CW.

Here is the result of a single Inverted-V dipole at 60 meters high in the south Patagonia (10.000+

Alone, in a small tent, with a small generator, far away from the civilization, with a few wires,
500 meters of rope, a small mobile amplifier, but with a lot of passion for what I do. 
The Patagonian frozen nights and strong winds were my only partners this weekend (since Thursday).

kind of crazy thing Iâ??m doing here but they said: Yeah! Use it!)

I hope that this wont cause a problem

Unbelievably bad conditions! MUF dropped way below 7MHz and we were
unable to make any QSOs on the band until a handful just after dawn.
We thought that surely, we would be able to make at least a few QSOs
on 15m but the band remained shut all weekend. We are much too far
north in Europe when conditions are like this. In addition, high
winds across the UK took their toll. The crankup towers stayed up
but the 40m 3el yagi was wrecked.

Single Operator, Single Band (20M). 10 Watts output power. Good
to see some propagation on 3rd March on 20m! Using only vertical
antenna. 73

Conditions were not that brilliant, it was a bit of a
struggle on LP but still enjoyed the contest.

Originally planned a single band 10 Meter entry, but 10 was dead. 15M this year
seemed like 10 last year.

Conditions werent the best, but I worked it off and on when I could.. Ill probably do it again next
year...

Nice to have some propagation on 20 and 40 Meters.

Operating 100 watts and a wire dipole antenna during what I would consider less than optimal band
conditions can be challenging.  I operated Friday evening and Saturday morning/early afternoon from
the East coast.  I'm not what I would call a big-time contester, and was hoping to catch a couple of
ATNO's for DXCC (and HI for WAS- the last state I need!), but it would not come to be for me this
contest.  All in all, I still had fun, and it's always great to see what my modest station setup can
do under conditions that weren't the best.

N2CW operated solo by Joel KS3F! Go FRC!

Miserable conditions. perhaps the worst ever, in my memory.
In addition I have no 160M antenna and lost my
80M dipole in the big WIND a week ago.  Despite
all that I was constantly surprised that the DX managed
to hear my 100 watts if I called long enough except for JA,
Hopefully conditions will be better next year.
Nice to work a lot of old friends.

First contest that I have done on HF as single Op.  Bands seemed to be working well given the
grand-minimum status of the sun.
  Thanks to my friend who gave me so much support and his Gonset amp.
  Hope I didn't mess up the log info, as I did run 600-800 watts.

CW4EVER!... oh, that's right, this was a phone contest! Had fun anyway! :-)

12 hrs worked

Broken effort around a Friday club meeting, Birmingham hamfest, hamfest trip
report, and publishing the Huntsville Club newsletter. Glances at the MFJ 24
hour clock said I had a few hours left but a look at the bandscope told me I
missed the last hour.  It's not MFJ's fault the battery died - the second hand was wiggling but not
moving.  Mark N4BCD

2019 ARRL DX SSB Contest

Florida Contest Group

First contest from home QTH.  I work weekends so I can only do so much.  However, this was great
fun. No beam. Used G5RV, Delta loop on 40, and homemade FB-5 by AF4Z(most used).

DON'T THINK IT CAN GET MUCH WORSE THAN THIS. NEVER HEARD ONE SIGNAL FROM
EUROPE. NO JA'S AND ONLY FEW STATIONS IN THE PACIFIC. 95% S&P...CQ'n NOT
ANY HELP....

Operated from home station: K2/100 100 watts to random wire 76' in inverted L on 22' and 33'
fiberglass poles, Marine SSB tuner at base.

ouch -

This is my first time doing this . Iâ??m sorry if this is not correct .

80  Meters was pretty hot !!!

Since I am not a serious contest operator this was not well planned for but I am happy with the
results. Besides the exercise aspect it is a great way to pick up some new countries... even after
all the years active in amateur radio I still do not have my DXCC or even worked WAS so I am looking
forward to getting more contacts confirmed.

Very difficult conditions. I had planned on operating overnight at least one night, but it wasn't
worth the effort.  A few strong stations were running huge pileups, while others were going begging
but couldn't hear me when I called with a kilowatt.

Using Linux

Great signal from station!

Just time to hand out a few QSOs.

A very limited time effort.I missed the first 2.5 hours due to other
obligations.Working Conditions here:a Icom IC-7300,Heil Pro Micro
Headset,Vectronics HFT-1500 Manual Tuner for 15 and 80 meters only,
MFJ-4245MV Switchng Power Supply,and a ZS6BKW (Modified G5RV) up 50
feet,running N-S at 6,053 feet from DN-71od in Laramie County,Wyoming.
95% Hunt and Pounce,with no stations answering my brief period of
attempted running.Many DX stations not giving thieir call sign during
exchange,(as clearly stipulated in the contest rules).Your Amateur Radio
Call Sign IS NOT "QRZ"! Many DX calls were spotted incorrectly with
wrong call or frequency not centered.These may well have been the worst
contestsolar conditions that I have experianced in 30 years.The grossly
over driven audio, excess processing, and 6 KC wide signals from many of
our "neighbors to the south" did ot help this situation one bit.Just a
few JA's worked and Europe might as well have been Mars as far as any
potential to hear and log with 100 watts and a wire. My new Icom IC-7300,
(a wonderful retirement gift from my Ham parents) is a joy to use while
contesting in poor band conditions,thanks to excellent filtering,DSP noise
reduction,and most of all the "water fall" which indicates active stations
at a glance. Another "100 watts and a Wire" effort is in the books.It was
fun to provide the rare mult of Wyoming to 99 of you around the world. My
100 watt, one wire antenna signal traveled a total distance of 399,642
miles,(excluding US),and my average "miles per DX contact was 4,078
miles. Thanks to all who heard and worked me. A special thanks to those
that hung in there for exchange "fills", when conditions were at their
worst. 73,from NOVEMBER SEVEN MANY ZEBRAS WALKING

used Koss SB45 headset w/boom microphone
connected RP.L-bias - Time On 15 hrs 05 mins

Not great conditiona. A few abandoned contacts due to conditions and
the constant calling of other stations. Unfortunately I failed to
re-intall the band change counter with the updated
logging program. So reclassication likely, but
still had a good time. After 20 plus years it is still
great to hear some of the same stations and operators.

Even with poor conditions and low power -80 watts-
HAD A FUN TIME -- WISH LIFE DIDN'T INTERFERE WITH
HAM RADIO SO OFTEN.
USING SD TO LOG MAKES THINGS SO VERY EASY!

20m closed down quick with 0 sunspots

160M antenna broke in the windstorm, and that affected operation
on other bands. Good band conditions, but limited TX ability due
to poor match esp on 20M. A fun contest never the less.

Not competative in SSB HF contetsts. Poor conditions and lots of LIDs.
Spent time with XYL, and played on 40m when there was time.
Very dissapointed in many contest operators. Stations calling the DX
not listening or caring when DX calls for specific station, Dx stations
not bothering to ID for very long time. Two of the major LID categories.
Cant't get excited over this contest. 73 Gene, N9TF
Rig, K3S 100 watts, to a 40m dipole at 35'.

Very poor band conditions. Almost no EU and very few JA's. 
Steve / NC6R

Just over 2 hours of operating - couldn't get very fired up with the poor conditions and there were
other things to do.  Also operated a few hours from my daughter's school club station, W0WCS.

Max Power 500 Watts

Running low power and poor conditions kept my score low. But tnx to the crew at OA4O (Radio Club
Peruano) the "OA" multiplier was not hard to find.

1st time ever not a single 15m/10m contact, operating here mainly in the evening / very early
morning. 2 times asked for 160m, no antenna yet, working on that. Enjoyed the pile - up on 40m. BR

Quite poor conditions. QRV only on Sunday for a
hours. Thanks for QSOs!

ARRL DX SSB Contest 2019

Even conditions were bad, I made nice qsos with many states/provinces, especially thanks for NU
(VY0ERC) and NV (VE8GER) :-D
Thanks to all and see you in next test! Standa OK7W OK1CID

1) On 80m some US stations were calling CQ above 3800 and listening around 3620 kHz or so. I have
(and many other guys I know) my 80 m antennas tuned either to CW part of 80m band or to Phone part
of the band. Or it is switchable. In the middle of the band, where is nothing for contestant, I have
SWR around 1:10 or even worse on all my antennas... Therefore those who were listening there I can
not try to call at all.
2) Miracle antennas of LZ5R. Look here:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/joqQ4WWvoFXBxuU67 There are many EU big guns with big PAs, 4el yagis,
phased foursquares, ... And on 3785 is sitting LZ5R, 25dB stronger than the rest of EU. Isn´t it
miracle? And moreover, the signal was in terrible quality about 10 kHz wide...

3band wire dipole, 100W

The propagation was not good so I could not work many
stations with 150 W. But I enjoyed the contest and
working some stations from US.
I hope for better condx next year.
73 Leon  ON5WL

Very bad condition from my side. Only a few stations on 20 Mtr was heard.
Rig : Icom 7800 - PA : SPE 1K-FA - Ant.: Vertical Hustler BTV-6

The 2019 result is quite modest as due to Aurora borialis - a real contest killer. Stations whom
usual have a good signal was faint, and hard to work.
This years highlight - was the coffee breaks ;-)

Very high local noise here so apologies to the many stations who we know were calling us but that we
were unable to winkle out. We were on the lookout for a 10m opening, but only managed a few QSOs in
to Texas. Thanks go to Andy P49Y (AE6Y) who loaned us his climbing harness after we discovered one
half of the top band dipole had snapped off at the top of the tower.  Other than that everything
wokred OK!

Bad condx are good for the Caribbean, but still challenging.

Even under these flat conditions I'm amazed about the nuber of stations that can actually hear me:
TS2000X (70W), 30m RG213, hb Balun, 25m end fed wire max 8m up, following the rim of the roof in rhe

LITTLE TIME FOR FUN... THANKS...73.

Conditions were much tougher than last year.  The low part of the
solar cycle brings its own challenges, and in our case we weren't
able to make use of either 10 or 160 meters despite our fervent
hopes.

Always with our portable equipment and two verticals. Many thanks.

TNX/73!

Band condx was terrible. I don't remember this for a long time.

IC-756PRO3, 4-el. Yagi

There was just the two of us staffing this M/S effort, myself V31VP (WB0TEV), and Scott V31CQ
(K5PS), but we managed to keep BIC for all but about 4 hours, generally in the wee hours of the
morning. 

When we flew down from Texas on Tuesday I brought along a suitcase full of wire, pulleys, a plastic
kitchen cutting board with an SO-239 mounted to it and plans for making an inverted-L with a couple
elevated radials for 160m. Heretofore the only antenna down here at the Maya Hill shack for 160 was
a low windom. Last year I only managed 1 QSO on 160m (moves with K3LR as I recall) and had high
hopes that we could up our game on top band. Spent much of Thursday getting it strung up and tuned
with help from Scott and the station owner Andre (V31DL). 

Would it work? The answer came the first night when we managed to bank a number of Qs (and most
importantly mults) on Top Band the first time we went to 160. The 202 QSOs and 46 precious mults
were a nice boost to the score. 

Rigs: IC-7800, Icom PW-1 amp 
Antennas: 160m Inverted L 55 ft up, 85 feet horizontal, two elevated radials 6-8 feet up strung thru
the trees. 80m inverted Vee at 60 feet, long windom at ~30 feet for 40m (40m inverted Vee from tower
needs maintenance), Cushcraft X7 for 20/15/10 at 65 feet. 
SW: N1MM+ on an HP Windows 7 laptop with extra monitor. 

Bands: 160m was in good shape. Noise wasn't that bad. I'm sure we could have worked more if we'd had
a beverage or some dedicated receive antenna. That's probably next on the continuous improvement
plan. 
80m played quite well, noise was low and propagation opened early and lasted long. 40m varied from
good to "odd" and iffy. We deliberately stayed above 7200 to keep out of the Region 1 QRM. 
20m was the money band during the daylight hours for sure with endless callers especially after prop
from the USA to EU faded and folks started turning their beams south. 
15m was a pleasant surprise. With the dearth of sunspots and the dreary prop forecast, expectations
were tempered at best. However, after trying to move a friend from 20 to 15 around 1830Z Saturday a
big run of callers ensued that lasted the next couple of hours. More followed in the 1800-2100Z
period Sunday. 10m: What 10 meters? 
US MULT Report: Worked all 49 on 20 and 40 
80m:only missed WY 
160m: missed mostly west central US, CO, KS, ND, SD, ID, MT & DC 
15m: missed DC and a string of states that were too close AL, FL, GA, NC, SC, AR, LA, MS, NM 
10m: Nada, zilch. 
VE MULTS: Nothing from LB,NT,NU or YT. Got ON and SK all bands 160-15; NF and PE from 160-20. QC MB
AB 80-15. BC 40-15. NS on 20 only. 

Scott and I had a blast. Thanks for all the QSOs. I plan on being back later this month for CQ WPX
SSB. As always thanks to Andre (V31DL/DL1AS) and his XYL Monika for the use of their fine station
and great hospitality at the Maya Hill Lodge. 
73, Victor

I had a lot of fun

100w wire dipole antenna

K3, verticals.

Funky propagation, but still managed a few runs
SD by EI5DI is still the best logger for single ops

Now that was a noisy weekend on 160
The Rx 4SQ really helped listen to NE/NW

I felt like I was trying to ride a bicycle in the sand but thanks
to all that could hear me.

Contesting is always fun regardless of your level of expertise and equipment.
Due to solar activity Europe was nonexistent on Saturday, and Japan was scarce, at least from my
location.  I found that calling cq garnered more answers from well-meaning US and Canadian stations
who were worth zero points, than actual point gaining dx stations It was easier to just work them
and send them away happy than explain the situation.

Another contest is history; bring on the next one...................Len.

I had a lot of fun operating this contest with my venerable old
IC-751A. 100 Watts barefoot can be challanging at times. 73 Gerry

Malcolm VE9MO and Brent VE9EX tried out the new club radio, a
Kenwood TS-590SG.  Brent VE9EX reports that the radio noise in
the VE9ND club room is better than VE9UNB.  We heard a station on
15 m, but could not make a contact.  Most of the QSOs were
marked QSO-X as a form of a check log.

40m and 20m closed on day 2, great
signals on 40m while that lasted.

Even though I have submitted my log,
as running "HIGH" power,my licence
only allows 10watts.

40 meters only 85 watts [due to power supply] Worked all I could hear..

Just a few contacts, conditions didn't sound very good! M

It didn't start well.  It didn't end particularly well.  For some
bits of time in between it was almost okay. The atmospheric noise
was tremendous and seemed to be mostly horizontally polarized, so
the verticals were the listening antennas of choice.   We were
happy to hand out NU again and a big thanks to those that worked
to hear us.

This was a chance to rack up a few DXCC entities for the school club station.  Unfortunately the
poor condidtions didn't cooperate and made it tough for the low dipole to compete.

Band conditions were terrible

Bad A index

One antenna for all bands: wire, 30 ft high, 70 ft long.

Late start, 40-20-15-10 yagi compromised by weather. We continue
to be deaf, meaning running competitively is not a strong viable
option for us. S&P QSOs continue to prove our TenTec Orion II
transmit audio is NG.

Thank you for sponsoring the contest.

FRANKFORD RADIO CLUB

Only had 5 hours to operate, and with 100w and a wire it wasn't easy to make QSOs with band condx as
they were. As primarily a CW op, it's always fun, however, to try my hand at a phone contest.

W4FEB IS LOCATED IN GRAFTON, MA USA

Good openings on 160 & 80 the first night. Good participation by all. Heard several TCG folks. K3IE
(Hunter) & I chased each other up and down the bands.
Nice short opening on Sunday afternoon to Guam & JA's, etc. reminds me of Happier times.

I always look forward to this contest and had a great time working all the radio operators from
around the world with my 100 watts. Thank you to all those who took the time to spend an extra few
moments to pull me out from all the big guns. See you all next year!!

1st contest submission

Operated from W6RFU (Amateur Radio Club At UCSB); Grid square DM04bj.

I should really solve my (lack of) rotor problem one of these days!

100 watts and a wire!!

10 meters was dead.

Could not get motivated.

Lousy condx, very high power line noise... not enjoyable with all the racket so gave up.  Just did
S&P searching for countries. I needed an injection of Novocaine in my brain.

Great fun with local friends! My thanks to the Shackapulco Gang
for helping me so much in getting on air this winter- couldn't
have nicer friends WHAT A HOBBY!

Could conditions be any worse?

Very limited operating time, one wire to cover it all, but had fun anyway!

20M was the stellar band and 15M almost did not open.
80M and 40M were under a horrid noise.

RADIO CLUB VENEZOLANO CARACAS

The worst conditionsI have ever seen in a contest all qso where in running
mode and hear some signals like a wishper from underground and need
extrasensorial perception to complete a qso. 73 until next contest

I obtained the "Class A" radio operator license on April 24, 2018

Never heard even 1 VE

Had just a short time to operate this time due to having visitors
staying over. Used an inverted L on 80m, a pair of phased MOXON's
on 40m, a 4 el yagi on 20m, 3 el yagi on 15m and 5 el yagi on 10m.
No sunspots! No comms at all on 15m and 10m, quite a good run on 20m
and 40m was not at its best but managed a few 80m SSB contacts
which was quite a thrill! Rig was an ICOM 736 barefoot with 100 watts.
Hope to make to next year's contest and hope to have a bit more time
for this. Thanks to all who make it possible!
