| G3YMC | SINGLE-OP QRP | Hard work on QRP. FT710, 5W, loop antenna |
| G4BUO | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Signals generally weak and few W/VE on the first morning, better the second morning. Tee antenna only 33ft high works surprisingly well. BOG receive antenna on the second day. |
| G4CDN | ASSISTED HIGH | Flex8600M Loaded 80m 1/4 vert |
| G4DDL | SINGLE-OP LOW | 30m end fed at 8m |
| G4KKU | ASSISTED LOW | Just having a dabble! |
| G5W | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Poor conditions and hard work! |
| G7D | ASSISTED LOW | End-fed Inverted Vee, 9 m apex, 44 m long. |
| GW4W | ASSISTED LOW | Inductively loaded inverted L, vertical section 7m high and horizontal 20m long. |
| HA0SA | ASSISTED LOW | Inverted L. Base height abt 12m |
| HA1BC | SINGLE-OP LOW | V-Dipole 40/80/160 Up 10m, 6m & 6m (ends of dipole) , local QRM S5 to S9 |
| HA1NB | ASSISTED LOW | Dipole pulled out 5m high. |
| HA4CW | ASSISTED LOW | W3DZZ dipole and the highest point at 36 feet |
| HA4EL | ASSISTED LOW | W3DZZ dipole and the highest point at 36 feet |
| HA5UA | ASSISTED HIGH | Poor CONDX during the contest and low activity especially from DX side non US &CAN.....This year try to use horizontal dipole antenna for TX.The theory was confirmed,the inverted L is better for over 2000km like the inverted V at the same height. |
| HA6NL | ASSISTED LOW | ICOM756pro 100w dipole |
| HA8AR | SINGLE-OP LOW | Hi Guys! Here ICOM 7400 80W and 22m high vertical home made. No other RX antenna. |
| HB9BXQ | ASSISTED LOW | ANT End-fed 34 m long |
| HB9DQL | ASSISTED HIGH | IC-7851, OM2000A antenna Inverted-V |
| HB9EGA | SINGLE-OP HIGH | Windom Antenna, 5..10m over the ground |
| HB9HTF | SINGLE-OP LOW | wire antenna G5RV 10-160 m, 10 meters above ground |
| I1WQR | SINGLE-OP HIGH | inverter L |
| I2WIJ | ASSISTED HIGH | some snow outside so stay warm inside. CU next one. |
| I4IKW | SINGLE-OP LOW | Vertrical antenna 15 meters high |
| I4JEE | SINGLE-OP LOW | always great fun, little time, and small station with Long Wire |
| IB4O | ASSISTED HIGH | from my side propagation was bad with QSB all over the two nights. Just 1 QSO to Caraibi, none to CONUS. |
| II2Q | MULTI-OP | 3 operators effort operating with 2 radios, (run & in-band), one PC + 2 Keyboards (kind of SO2R setup). It worked as used to since some years, but having 2 people dealing keys on two keyboards on one PC and one Log brings to unexpected key combinations... at some point the PC screen flipped upside-down... and we kept running like this for some minutes, until it was time to hold CQ and fix the issue. We had fun for this, but the fun was compensated by terrible band conditions which I have no memory in the past. This year we managed to hear almost everyone, including PP5JR coming strong for long time on Saturday morning, but the best we got was some "?"... No way to be listened by Dave K5GN calling lonely, and others from AZ, same for some other (normally easy) stn in the east coast. Surprisingly we were called by K7NJ from UT just before our sunrise on Sat. We hoped for something more from Central US like TX, IL, IN, ... but nothing happened :( We managed a QSO with K3LR at noise level only in the second night, where the conditions to US were worse than the first night. Pity the SV9 stations calling and calling and calling but making very few QSOs. SV9 is another mult we normally miss. Heared also SV5DKL (but we didn't break the pileup), then turned out the caller was a pirate, in fact Satish wrote on FB he didn't operate in the contest. In general it was tough staying awake, with a rate of 5-10 Q/h for some hours. We left the competition 1 hour early, and I am sure we didn't lose that much. Hope for a better CQWW160 in 2027! Thanks for QSOs, 73's Luca IK2PFL Rx Antennas 160m long bidirectional beverage NW-SE 230m long bidirectional beverage NE-SW Tx Antenna Vertical T loaded (~30m) with buried radials |

| IK2ULV | SINGLE-OP LOW | Ant. Vertical inv.L, 13mt and 10 mt wire cable, very restricted capture area, no more than 2000 Km. It was very hard finding new qso after 150 qso's... |

This year I improved my personal score and I had fun. 73 Tony |
