Great fun until we lost power at 1945 UTC due to high winds. Thought about going to battery power, but had other priorities to tend to. Nice to hear lots of activity on 10M. Had fun and picked up a few new Dx entities. Thanks to all the ops on the other end of the QSO. 73. |

Decided to run with 5 watts, since my amp went out in the ARRL CW DX Contest. I tried running, but no stations could hear me running/calling CQ, so I had to S&P. I did try a few times to run throughout the contest, again to no avail. seemed to be better for low power QSO's using two yagis. On 40m did well the first night with my yagi, but not so good the second. Right at my sunset the skip was short, but soon after got long making it difficult to work close stations in the Caribbean the second night. The first (Friday) night I worked many at EU sunrise with some better ease. The noise on Saturday night at my QTH was terrible and also just before end of contest on Sunday. I had little luck on 80m with 5 watts working only two (2) stations. Most could not hear me on 80m even though I could hear the big guns in Europe, in Japan, VK/ZL on 80m well on my receive antenna, but they could not hear my measily 5 watts. They were so loud one would think they could make a QSO, but "notta" with QRP. attempts in order to make a contact on 10-80m. The competition combined with noise and my weak signal made a QSO very difficult. DX signals had to be S9 or stronger at signal peaks; otherwise, I did not stand a chance at a QSO. Also, I could not work anyone until the pile was worked down by the DX and they had no interference from adjacent frequencies or noise on their end which was detectable due to never being able to make the QSO. I was always the last to work any station in the pileup if one existed. It was obvious some DX had lots of noise because I had to give up calling and move on. very bad as well because I would give my callsign and not many could even detect my signal on 40m as well as 80m especially just before and after my sunrise when the noise got really terrible. I thought I would pick up some Caribbean, but not a chance. even waiting for my turn to try to make a QSO when my partial call was announced. QRP was tough, but enjoyed the challenge. After a little while, I learned how to inject my call. At least many DX stations would come back to my partial callsign and give me a chance. Many did not care and a wishful QSO was toast. was thankful for the good propagation on 10m and 15m especilly to EU/JA/VK/ZL and strong DX signals as my gauge to make a call (S9 or greater) Anything less was a no-go. Sometimes I was surprised to work a few "semi-rare" DX stations. It was obvious that my tuning up and down the band paid off, since I ran across some long distant stations who first started ing CQ and was able to snag them. One was 7Q6M late Saturday afternoon on 15m when the JA's typically come banging in. There were several other stations with this same scenario that gave me a chance. Later tuning the band(s), I could hear big pileups knowing I was glad I got them before someone probably spotted them on a cluster making a huge pileup. at the end on this contest from calling so much and I was exhausted by the end. Nice to hear stations participating worlwide. Great to hear several of my fellow TCG'ers who always beat me out even though they probably could not hear me. As always, thanks to all for the QSOs. |

Family commitments kept me busy Saturday. Logged some contacts Friday evening but spent most of Sunday afternoon working stations. All contact (212) were made using my horizontal wire antenna (80m OCF dipole). Made contacts on 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters and added a few new countries to my list. I'm still very slow at logging contacts, but I am learning how to use SkookumLogger (Mac OS ) - it's much better for contests than MacLogger and it produces Cab. Files directly! |

Ran portable in a park in town using an IC-7300 and a Buddipole off of a marine battery. Spent a little while shaking down the set up. Not many contacts, but I had a blast. It was my first contest in years! Thanks to all, and especially WA7AN for the signal report. |

After I have paused my ham radio activity for more than 35 years, I reactivated the hobby again. I used an Elecraft KX2 transceiver (which I just got 2 days before) with only 10 watts and a 8m random wire antenna on a fishing pole. So the conditions were very poor but I was surprised how far I can go with this setup :-) |

I entry on a single-op 80m. The condition was very bad. I QSOed only 30stations in this year. I QSOed 66stations in 2021 year. I QSOed 34stations in 2020 year. I QSOed 7stations in 2019 year. JA 75m BAND has very heavy OTH lader QRM from RUSIA. That OTH lader transmit point from 42.861213N 133.653435E. The Eeast of the coast in Nahotoka. I was using only 100W and small fishing rod vertical only 10m length antenna in my balcony of my small aprartment. We JA ham got a very narrow 75m band. Please look for JA under a new 75m frequency! 3599~3612KHz 13KHz width 3680~3687KHz 7KHz width 3702~3716KHz 14KHz width 3745~3770KHz 25KHz width I was disapointed to disapare a separating of output power categoly each single band section. It is very difficult to get an award on the low band in the same categoly with high power stations!! Please separete high power categoly and low power catagoly in each single band. |

K3CCR |
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. I, N3UM, operated SOHP U in the 2022 ARRL DX SSB; W5MPB had non-ham-radio duties. With SFI ~120 my 20 thru 10-M results were super, but with Kp=4 for 9 hrs and 5 for 12 hrs, 80 & 160 M results were poor, & 40-M results ~OK. I tried but got no run Qs on any band in this test; unusual for me. At start 0023-0250Z I clicked spots at ~60/hr for 120 total Qs on 20 & 40 M. But, each bandmap would clear in ~30-60 min, so I had to swap bands till it filled again. This pattern held thru the test. At 0253Z I found just 12 80-M sigs in 10 min; 9 were HP EUs, all very weak. In 7 more min. I found 5 160-M sigs by 0314Z QRT; pitiful. On again at 1350Z I got 19 EU Qs in 14 min. on 20 M, then 103 Qs in 2.2 hrs on 15 M! Wow; mostly EU, but also FR and ZS on 15 M. After lunch 1914-2142Z I got 96 Qs; 37 on 20 M, 33 on 10-M, & 26 on 15 M, most in SA. After supper 0030 to 0245Z QRT, rates were slow but bandmaps quick to clear. I got just 62 Qs; 34 on 40 M, 16 on 20 M, and my last 12 on 80 M. Back on 20 M 1411-1421Z, got 13 EU Qs + HS and ZL in 10 min, 90/hr, bandmap clear! Far more spots on 15 M; 92 Qs 1430-1630Z, 47/hr, mostly EUs. After lunch 1849 to 2138Z QRT, the high bands were long and busy. I got 27 mults and 107 Qs; 45 on 20 M with JA and ZS, 16 on 15 M with 6W, and 46 on 10 M with KH6 & V5. Worked 7Q6M on 3 bands. Sunspots are back. |
K3GWK |
My goal was to beat my previous score, that goal was accomplished, even with the time off for yard work on Saturday. Thanks to all of the DX operators! There was one issue that cropped up on Saturday evening that took me off of the low bands until I found and bypassed the faulty component. Equipment: IC-7610, G5RV at 35' and a three element tri-band beam at 30 feet. N3FKP's ACLog and contest software synced up and never missed a beat. |

K5LBJ |
K5LBJ is the LASA High School Amateur Radio Club in Austin, Texas. Our high school station has been operating since 2004. In that time, we had matched 97 DX entities via Logbook of the World. We finally decided to operate in the DX Phone contest to try to get over the century mark. Bands were open, including 10 meters, and we operated about 5 hours. During that time, we worked 7 possible "new" DX entities. As of Monday, we had already matched with 2 of our new DX entities. Hoping to get 1 more to qualify for DXCC! Thanks to all of the amazing operators that spoke with our students. 73 & Good DX. |

Fun to see all that DX activity on the bands. Lots of QRM on lower bands but 15M was nice to see everything spread out working stations all the way up to 21.450. SSB is my least favorite contest mode. |

This one was a bit of a challenge. I took a bad fall on ice recently and was operating with two dislocated fingers on my left hand, a cast over a broken right wrist As I was ??playing hurt? I decided I would simply get on and try to work some ATNOs on a limited schedule Set down in the shack at about 18 UT Saturday afternoon and was very pleasantly surprised to hear 15 and 10 meters alive with lots of DX activity Got N1MM log set up, or so I thought, and donned my boom set. Uh, oh no PC control or radio! Reset both ends of the PC/radio USB cable. No joy. Opened the N1MM config menu. Hmmm, no radio port shown. Re-entered the radio port config and, Viola...radio control! It??s off to the races! 10 meters is hopping with signals from Caribbean and South America. First QSO: OA4SS Thirty minutes and about 10 Qs later I notice that the times are wrong on logged QSOs! The clock is about 40 minutes slow and DATE says 12 February!! Reset clock and back to the contest. Operating time about 6 hours. 110 S&P QSOs. Best DX VP8LP and 5UA99WS. Spent last 25 minutes of test calling a CN8 who was working a huge pileup. Bottom line: maybe 5-6 ATNOs. Probably worked 30+ PYs. Great hearing the bands open again. Hope to have two hands, both arms functioning soon |

Seemed like everyone was playing nicer than usual. I Never heard the first on-air altercation or disagreement. I only worked 80, 40, and 20 thanks to an unknown problem with the G5RV/tuner combo. And I lost a couple of hours operating time during the middle of the contest from having to manually re-enter contacts, thanks to my fat fingers. I made a single wrong mouse-click during N1MM setup and didn't notice it for a couple of hours. But I had fun the rest of the time. On Saturday 80m was fine, but on Sunday that band seemed pretty much closed. |

I had a great time participating in the 2022 ARRL International DX Phone Contest and was able to make contacts to Asia for the first time from Texas. It was a great experience being able to contact other stations throughout the world. I was surprised how many countries I was able to reach using a 100-Watts and a modest wire antenna. This was the first contest I actually submitted a log to enter so even that was a learning experience. I definitely plan to do this again next year. |

It was a beautiful day here in New Hampshire. I only had a very short period of time to operate,so I grabbed my KX3,battery and set up a 20 meter EFHW on the front lawn. Made 9 contacts with 12 watts from my porch, before I had stop. Great weather and a whole lot of fun! KK1J- |

About 2000 Saturday an underground coax failed with instant high VSWR. That pretty much killed the station operation. It took about 3 hours to replace and I decided to come back Sunday for more. The new coax was flawless. |

First 24 hours was fun. Next 21 hrs were a HUGE struggle. Final 3 hours were really enjoyable including a last hour JA run on 15. Strangest cndx and fastest qsb that I can ever recall. My heart goes out to the Ukrainian people. Thank you for the qsos and the mults. 73 Bob, KQ2M |

Double challenge this weekend due to amp needing repair and once again solar storms, geomagnetic storms K of 5 A at 27. Those negative prop cndx affect us badly in the higher latitudes. What I can't figure out is how I worked more EU on Sat with the K of 5 than Sun when the K was at was as low as 2 with my 100w! 10m great to SA both days |

This was the most BIC for me in a long time. First major effort with new FTDX10 and very happy. One glitch was with amp. Ameritron has problem on 15m (and 17), so swapped out for my late dad's Clipperton-L. SO had combo of very new rig and very OLD amp. All went well. I was surprised to break 1000 q's and was close enough to taste a million points for first time in many years. Real Surprise was working Europe on 20 and having YB, E2, JA and HL calling me. Lotsa fun! |

Managed a few hours on a busy weekend. Operating was all S&P. Saturday morning was my best rate with 56 Q's in the first hour. I did call CQ a couple of times on Sunday with no luck. I got to 15m fairly early and it produced my most multipliers. My longest distances were Brisbane and Reunion I. at 15000 km. Africa was quite active, with 20 Q's and on every band but 160. Famous last words, "I wish I had more time" |
N6HI |
QRP, NON-Assisted, "full 5 Watts" to a 20 Foot end-fed wire, thrown into a tree out my window - my only station antenna. No internet or other assistance used, just S&P "tune and find". I was in and out of the shack and jumped on when I could. Conditions seemed quite poor compared to ARRL-CW-DX test. Thanks to all for your patience and the QSOs, all appreciated.

202 contacts and 104 Mults with 51 different DX entities during 19 hours of operating time. Icom IC-7300,Heil Pro Micro Headset on VOX,Vectronics VC300DLP Manual Tuner (for 15 and 80 Meters only) and a single ZS6BKW modified wire antenna up 45 feet,running N-S at an elevation of 6,053 feet. A 99% limited operatng time,"Hunt and Pounce" effort.I worked a few stations on 5 different bands,and I have no antenna for 160 Meters. I QSY'd a few times at the request of DX, in order to give that station the Wyoming Multiplier on a new band.This contest felt like the Worked All Brazil Contest at times! 54 of the 202 stations I worked were also running 100 watts,and I worked one 5 watt QRP station. Some raunchy audio from the "usual suspects" but by in large the pileups were well behaved. Thanks to the cluster, many stations did not give thier call sign often enough.Last year I had 67 Q's, 40 Mults and 8,040 points. Having 10 and 15 Meters open for 2022, really helped.Thanks for the fills and for the contacts! November Seven Many Zebras Walking |

Had fun poking around four of the six bands, looking for mults that I could work. Still no resonant antennas here. Just a 130' piece of wire 15'-17' above ground running to the shed out back 120' away from the house and 120' of house gutter system loaded up through a manual antenna tuner. I knew SSB would add another 20db of attenuation to to my signal at the other end, hi hi! Lots of fun. 73 Gene, N9TF |

Saturday was a good day until the boiler circulator died. No hot water and XYL wasn't happy. Spent more than 3 hours getting parts and installing. Had a great time with DX. I wish some ops would turn down their compression. Bands were good and 10 meters is coming alive again. |

Great to see 10m come alive. Logged by hand. |

Decided to operate single band 20, unassisted, high power. Only got one run going, otherwise S&P. Didn't get on Friday night. Worked a pass through the band, took a break then repeat. Where was Asia??? Only heard a couple JA's, no KH at all. Had egg on my face when a KL1 called me and I told him "DX only" and he had to protest "I am DX!" Whoops! Looked at the Digisonde for Guam on Saturday and it was showing zero reflections- no wonder I couldn't hear anything from there. Murphy stayed away. |

Always big fun to work W/VE-stations with great rates. However, as there is still no real club competition for big contest clubs like Bavarian Contest Club, EA Conest Club, Italian Contest club and others, I only operated the prime hours.

Completely operated RI Station 1000 miles remote from Florida with the LPDA fixed in one position East in RI. Used two computers at the remote site. one to control the IC-7300 with BA-1 software, usb foot pedal, usb headset, keyboard/mouse to control 7300 tuning. the other computer to run the contest log via AnyDesk at the club house using that as it normally would have been used on site. Biggest surprise was receiving a power setting of 05 from E71A in the middle of horrendous contest QRM. We average out 80-90W to the antenna. www.W1OP.com |

Whew, another phone contest finally over. We had some good and some bad condx, with the SFI at 120 we had hope, with the A index at 27 we had disappointment. It was frustrating for us having to wait inline for the pileups to subside so we could get our turn to make a QSO. We need to make improvements with inter-station filtering for better results. It was great hearing all our commrades from FRC on and getting through the pileups. Come on Cycle 25.

My remote connection worked without any big problems. I've had a lot of problems with my remote connection over the pass month. My connection was breaking every 30 minutes. Lucky for me I never lost connection in this contest. Most of my operating these days, is CW. In recent CW contests I was able to find enough bandwidth to Run. Basically I could not do that is the SSB contest. Propagation was good on 15 and 10 meters but not so good on 40 meters. 80 and 160 meters were dead. My wife and I winter in a Studio apartment on Hollywood Beach, Florida. So staying up all night talking was not practical. And when the higher bands faded I was disappointed by 160 thru 40 meters. So there was no need to stay up all night. I didn't start talking until after we had breakfast. |

Contest was fun for the first half then high winds in central Indiana took down my 120ft tower at the end of the first night. It has been up for 20+ years. It smashed 3 tribanders, but missed house and my office building by a few feet, so I guess it could have been worse. 73 Mike |

This entry was yet another dual-OP from W7AYT's QTH in Concord. Most of my time was spent operating remote from NX6T or sleeping. In between I found time to put WQ6X on the air from Concord. The recently acquired FT-2000 performed flawlessly. Because there is a 3-elemnt Long John yagi at the site, I spent more time on 10-meters than on any other band; that is until the solar storm took things over. This event is being written up at: http://WQ6X.Blogspot.com. |

Assembled a great team to run this one. Happy to have Justin, K9MU back and Kelly, N0VD with us for the first time.

SINGLE BAND OPERATION USING ELAD FDM DUO AND SMALL 100W AMPLIFIER CONDITIONS WERE NOT SO GOOD AND THE NORMAL POWER OUTAGES HERE SO I DO THE BEST EFFORT WITH A REAL SMALL SDR RADIO TNX TO ALL HOPE CONTAC NEXT YEAR AGAIN 73 AND KEEP SAFE |
