K0XPSINGLE-OP HIGHI had forgotten how much fun the CQWW160CW contest is. I had technical issues with both my trailer as well as the radio and computer setup, so was not able to get on until Saturday night. Imagine my surprise when several Europeans popped up later during t
K1EPSINGLE-OP LOWThanks to Andy, K2LE for the use of his remote station. I could only get on Friday night, so it wasn't going to be a competitive entry. I set up the remote station Friday afternoon and everything was fine. At 22Z, nothing worked. When I used the paddle, s
K1TZQASSISTED HIGHThis was a real blast! My first 160m contest since returning,in 2020, from 35yrs of inactivity . My present location has zoning limitations on tower(s)and the area lacks trees of useful height to put up an effective 160m antenna. A very good friend, WA1AB
K2EKMSINGLE-OP QRP5w to a 53 foot sloper, apex at 30 feet. Most qso's I've had in a contest on 160. A huge challenge with my setup, requiring a lot of patience. My heartfelt thanks to those patient hams who completed exchanges with me. Guess I enjoy the challenge of 160!
K2PISINGLE-OP QRPVery casual operating. Thanks for listening to me. 2nd day, was at 2.5W for a long time before I noticed, so thanks to those working me at such low power. IC-705, INV-L 70 Ft high, QRP
K3CCRASSISTED HIGHK3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. As the only CW op I (N3UM) did SOHP Assisted in the 2023 CQ 160 CW. I hoped to beat the 2018 707-QSO best total W3GB and I got doing M-1 HP
K3TWSINGLE-OP QRPBand conditions were good for QRP.
K4FTSINGLE-OP LOWInverted L for TX and EFHW seemed to work best for RX. My apologies to those I could not hear. 73 John K4FT
K4PQCSINGLE-OP QRPLots of fun for the short period I operated. All of my operating was S & P and I called many stations that would have given my more sections and DX contacts but they didn't respond to my calls. Rig K4D running 5 watts to a 160 meter horizontal lo
K4RFKASSISTED LOWSo many great ops who could pull out my weak signal. Thanks all

K4XLSINGLE-OP QRPRunning QRP in this contest is a blast! Friday night was great but the remainder was less impressive but still a lot of fun.
K5RXSINGLE-OP HIGHNo receiving antennas and omni transmitting antenna made it hard. 10 1/4 hours of operation.
K6FASINGLE-OP HIGHDid ok for what time I put in with the QRN and QSB. Did pick up some new states just hope they upload to LoTW.
K6NASINGLE-OP HIGHThis was a relatively casual 15-hours of operation. Antenna is a pair of full size 1/4-wave wire verticals spaced 1/4-wave in reversible end fire configuration (aimed at JA-South America), with each fed against a ground rod and marginal radial fi
K6NRSINGLE-OP HIGHI was visiting our daughter and grandson in Scottsdale so didn't have much time for the contest. I was able to get on for awhile remotely using my laptop and my station near Victorville, Ca. I ran 1000 watts to my 48' high inverted L. Conditions seemed OK
K7NJASSISTED HIGHConditions were pretty good to Europe, but poor to the Far East. Worked JA, BY, HL, & JT, but missed runs of JAs both mornings. It's interesting that poor conditions to the Far East in the morning was much the same about a month earlier in the St
K7NTASSISTED LOWI was amazed at what I could hear with my ~30' OCF vertical. Not many could hear me though. Thank you to the ones who heard my weak signal and dug just a bit to make a QSO with me. 73, Mike K7NT

KB2URIASSISTED LOWOne of these years I'll put up a real antenna for top band.
KB8TLSINGLE-OP LOWpoor conditions and noisy but still fun
KC8RSINGLE-OP QRPTuned the 80m EFHW as best I could and used QRP, surprising results so I decided to submit the log. Some responses on the first try even to the east coast. Too tired to wait for the west coast to open up, but now I know if can "work".
KC9ILSINGLE-OP LOWOnly had about an hour to play, but still good fun. Thanks everyone for working me.
KE0LASSISTED HIGHCouldn't quite make it to 500Qs. I normally operate 160 contests QRP but thought I would try HP Assisted on this one. HP sure makes a difference with busting the pileups. I do miss my beverages from the last QTH. Something to work on for the next
