| W0ODS/MM | SINGLE-OP LOW | Single 8m vertical, ATU at base. As luck would have it, a short sea trial coincided with CQ160 this year. We sailed between Japan and Korea - One Night Only. Rig was a Flex 6600 at 100w or less. The Q of the tune required adjustment every 15kHz - A small annoyance compared to th It was good to hear some familiar calls from the time I contested in Iowa as W0ODS. |
| W0SD | ASSISTED HIGH | I called CQ for the first time on CW during this contest. Thank you to all who were patient and stayed with it through my struggles. |
| W1DYJ | ASSISTED LOW | Antenna: 160/40 short K2KQ Double-L (25' vertical portion) |
| W1NN | SINGLE-OP LOW | Remote from Japan using 40M dipole! |
| W1QK | SINGLE-OP LOW | Thanks for the contacts. Thanks to the WWROF for sponsoring the contest and processing the logs. 73 - Dan, W1QK |
| W1UJ | ASSISTED LOW | Inverted L and FCP |
| W2CG | MULTI-OP | John NY6DX and Peter NO2R operated this station remotely. Equip: TX/RX Icom IC-7610 Amp: RF-Power RF2K-S Ant: 160m Inv L, 600' unterminated Beverage NE/SW orientation Software: N1MM+ Remote: Rustdesk, Sonobus Many thanks for the QSOs. Condx weren't very favorable. QSL via LoTW or SASA to CBA. |
| W2EQ | SINGLE-OP LOW | 80/160 coil shortened Dipole approx 35 feet above ground |
| W3GH | ASSISTED HIGH | Got snowed out |
| W3KB | ASSISTED LOW | 43 ft Vertical |
| W4GKA | ASSISTED LOW | Modified ZS6BKW in attic. Coax shield and center shorted, hand wound inductor between rig and coax. |
| W4VIC | ASSISTED HIGH | Thanks for the Qs. 73, Vic W4VIC |
| W5JMW | SINGLE-OP LOW | Had to go with a "T" antenna.My dipole fed w/450 tied together at the base.Apex was at 52ft.Band was good friday night hr even with a major winter storm.Then saturday night had consistant dropings of any signals.There was very rapid qsb.Still did |
| W7EW | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Propagation, what there was of it, seemed to be sporadic E like in its coverage. |
| W7EY | ASSISTED LOW | I don't have a 160m antenna so I temporarily converted my 80m vertical into a 160m inverted L. Didn't have enough radials and the SWR was high so I ran barefoot into about 3:1 SWR and somehow made a few Qs. I plan to add some more radials and I'l |
| W7HJL | SINGLE-OP HIGH | band conditions were very poor.. |
| W7TMT | SINGLE-OP LOW | Poorest 160 conditions from this WA QTH I have ever experienced in this contest. Since the logger assumes that no Q's for 30 minutes is an Off Time it under reported my time On by 60 percent. Thanks for the Q's. Sorry so many missed out on the WA section. 73 Patrick, W7TMT |
| W7TX | SINGLE-OP LOW | 100ft multi band inverted V wire with tuner at 33 ft center. |
| W8LVN | SINGLE-OP LOW | Conditions were rough first few hours of contest. Seemed to pick up around 0500. |
| W8MET | SINGLE-OP LOW | With my Low-slung Bazooka at 20 feet for transmit and magnetic loop for receive at 6 feet Puerto Rico was my furthest qso using low power. I had S9+20 db noise on receive from bazooka and only S9 noise level on the loop. Neighbors make lots of no |
| W8RU | SINGLE-OP LOW | Conditions seemed flat on Friday night. Stations which are normally loud were weak. Saturday seemed better in this regard. For DX, only worked ZF5T and KP4AA. Heard NP2J and XE2X, but no luck. Thanks for the QSOs and 73, Ron (W8RU). |
| W8XY | SINGLE-OP LOW | 160m dipole @ 50', made with horse fence and stranded copper |
| W9KHH | SINGLE-OP LOW | Not bad for one hour with a random wire at four feet. |
| W9RE | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Bad conditions surely provided low turnout. Has to get better. |
| WA2OTC | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Helically wound PVC pipe vertical + 16 short radials |
| WA3EOQ | SINGLE-OP LOW | Rig: Elecraft K3s. Ant: inv vee dipole with vertex ~60 feet up, ends ~10 feet up |
| WA3LXD | SINGLE-OP QRP | 204' Random wire |
| WA5LFD | SINGLE-OP LOW | tuned 80m G5RV with an external tuner, antenna at 35 ft. |
| WB3X | ASSISTED LOW | 132 foot long EFHW at 30 feet. This was a fairly casual effort for me (Only the third or fourth time ever on 160M) and recognizing my "antenna" limitations, entirely search and pounce. I'm learning! |
| WB5BHS | SINGLE-OP LOW | 160 Meter OCF. |
| WB6JJJ | SINGLE-OP HIGH | A few points for the club. I'm still not up to a lot of chair time after surgery. But Saturday evening was better than Friday evening. It was fun to run across friends from the SF Bay Area. Bill |
| WB8JUI | ASSISTED LOW | Inverted L @ 40' |
| WB8WUA | SINGLE-OP LOW | Was not so successful this time - I started late during the event, but I still had fun. As usual, my PA contact's signal strength was very strong. I intend to work the next CQ WW 160 SSB (PH) contest. I have a simple dipole wire antenna around 25 ft high. |
| WB9NOO | SINGLE-OP LOW | Inverted "L" up 40 feet, over 60 feet |
| WC9C | ASSISTED LOW | TS-890S INVERTED L UP ABOUT 30 FT WITH ABOUT A DOZEN RADIALS. NOTHING FANCY BUT ABLE TO TUNE 160M. 160M AND HOPEFULLY A FEW NEW STATES CONFIRMED. |
| WD8DSB | SINGLE-OP LOW | Intended full time operation but pulled the plug the first night after operating just 1 Hour 45 minutes as I was so disappointed in the band conditions. Got an attitude readjustment Saturday morning and then put in a pretty fulltime effort the se 73, Don (wd8dsb) |
| WD8RYC | SINGLE-OP LOW | 105ft Dipole 32' above ground |
| WD9CIR | SINGLE-OP LOW | G5RV 35 feet up in trees |
| WF8Z | ASSISTED HIGH | Antennas: |
| WJ1U | ASSISTED LOW | 140' EFRW inverted L @ ~50ft |
| WK3A | ASSISTED LOW | Inverted "L" |
| WK9M | SINGLE-OP LOW | I had planned to work this contest more than an hour, but the ice storm hit us pretty good. It took down my 32' OCFD by bending the aluminum flagpole support in half about mid-way up (away from the house, at least). Lots of good strong signals ou |
| WM4Q | ASSISTED LOW | Eighty meter Bazooka antenna used for entire contest because the only one I had that would work in the weather we received. |
| WN7S | ASSISTED HIGH | wire up 30 feet... |
| WP4WW | SINGLE-OP LOW | ANT: 80/160 INVERTED V ABT. 40FT. |
| WQ6X | ASSISTED LOW | This was another last-minute WQ6X CQ-160 contest, running the WA6TQT Superstation in Anza, with its "crippled" 100-ft high "Tri-Square" array. The antenna height made for a nice barefoot signal, however I could never tell which direction favored my signal (if at all). Most of the action happened on Friday evening. Saturday was largely a ho-hummer so most of the OP time was spent in the Winter Field Day. Look for a write-up on this GiG at: http://WQ6X.Blogspot.com. |
| WR5O | SINGLE-OP LOW | Fun time with poor conditions. Antenna is an 80 foot tower shunt fed with KT36XA beam as top loading and 36-120foot buried radials. |
| WR9L | SINGLE-OP LOW | 80 meter loop |
| WS3C | SINGLE-OP LOW | Is a Inverted L with radials considered a Single Element Antenna?? |
| WU4G | SINGLE-OP LOW | Skookumlogger, Flex 8600 - wires |
